Continuing in Ephesians

Ephesians 4

Walk in Unity

1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Quotes of note from the sermon:

Tertullian (of the early Christians):
"See how they love one another...."

Justin Martyr:
"That the prophecy is fulfilled, you have good reason to believe,
for we, who in times past killed one another, do not now fight
with our enemies."

"In Rome, Christian would roam the hillsides looking for babies who had been abandoned."

"During the plague, Christians would go back into the towns, putting their own lives at risk, to nurse the dying."


And finally, Pastor Allen's advice to the students "seeking God's will," and even praying to be martyrs:

"Why don't you do your homework? Or pay attention in class?"
