In this message, Alistair Begg explores Paul’s teaching on Christian unity, showing how humility, gentleness, patience, forbearance, and love contribute to our oneness.

On January 20th, America will inaugurate the 45th President of the United States. By convention, incoming Presidents raise their right hand and place their left on the Bible when they take the oath of office. The oath is often concluded with the words “So help me God,” and as we hear these words spoken by the new President, we’ll affirm that as a nation we were founded, and remain, “one nation, under God.”
