Unity in the Kingdom of Christ – Ephesians 4:1-6

Pastor Uwe Heimowski

Crossroads Presbyterian Church has become a sister church to an Evangelical Free Church in Gera, Germany (located in what was the Communist-controlled area of East Germany) and to a Baptist Church located in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. The purpose of the “sisterhood” is to demonstrate the reconciliation that can be found only in Christ among three churches who have been enemies to each other. Crossroads joined this ‘sisterhood’ in 2014 and participated in a joint construction project at the Russian church location in May of 2014.

Pastor Heimowski preached from Ephesians 4:1-6.

How might the original recipients of Ephesians have been in need of unity? What things may have been causing discord among believers living in the Roman Empire?

Economic disparity, ethnic differences, political differences…
