UNITY THROUGH DIVERSITY
Unity Through Diversity
Adrian Rogers
I want you to take your bibles now tonight and turn if you will to First Corinthians chapter twelve as we're continuing to think on the theme of the body of Christ.

Everybody ought to be put to work through his work. God hath put every member in the body as it hath pleased him. That means that every member in the body is important to the health and the welfare of the body.

Now there are diversities of gifts but the same spirit. And that verse right there teaches the theme of what I have to say, UNITY THROUGH DIVERSITY.
