     | 8,964 views

    The thought that occurred to me this week is that we as believers are often satisfied flying “coach” when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died and rose again to offer us a “first class” ticket.

    Introduction: Today we are continuing our series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. When we began two weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the Body of Christ is love. That is why Paul said in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity.” ...read more
