Title: Mystery Of Unity (4)
Series: Ephesians 1

Text: Ephesians 1:9-12
The 1960's were the decade of turmoil across our land as people were divided about the War in Vietnam which was dragging on with more American soldiers dying each week and civil rights marches where people were beaten and attacked by dogs.

As he took the last step off the ladder to the powdery dust on surface of the moon, he said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

"Here men from planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind."
President Nixon, talking to Neil Armstrong on the phone while he was standing on the moon said, "For one priceless moment . . . all the people on the earth are one - one in their pride of what you have done."
In our broken and fractured world, it is not often that people are brought together in f ...
