The Forgotten Work Of Discipleship Part I Series

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Mar 1, 2014

Easter For Us: A Unity Not Of Our Making

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Our Lord chose as disciples’ men who were radically different in temperament, personality and political philosophy. It was because of their glaring differences that their unity was so evident.

Opening illustration: I know, there are so many great verses from John’s remarkable story: “In the beginning was the Word….”, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” “For God so loved the world…,” “In my house are many mansions…,” and more.
