This past weekend at Eastbrook Church we continued our series entitled “One: The Being of God in the Life of the Church.” The first message in the series, “God is One,” explored how unity comes through the Triune God’s indwelling presence. This second message looks at how Jesus is the One who both brings salvation and creates unity within the church.
You can view the message video and outline for the message is below. You can follow along with the entire series here and the devotional that accompanies the series here. You could always join us for weekend worship in-person or remotely via Eastbrook at Home.
