One Prayer (1 of 9)
Series: One: A Journey Through Philippians
Benny Perez
Philippians 1:1-11
I am beginning our new series ''One'' a journey through Philippians. I believe this series is going to help us to know Jesus more intimately but also to understand the principle of one.

He even prayed that we would become One in John 15 and that we would understand that we are One with Him.
