Video Devotion: Growing As One

by Rev. Don Fraker on May 18, 2021

In John 17, Jesus prays His “High Priestly” prayer. It powerfully, and yet simply, points us to the oneness shared by Christ and His Father; and we hear Jesus praying that we would know that same unity. Join Pastor Fraker in this devotional encouragement for our unity with Christ and with Christ’s Body, the Church.
