| 0:08.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from our daily bread. |
| 0:12.0 | One in Christ was written by Bill Crowder and read by Wes Ward. Ephesians chapter 4, verses 1 through 7. |
| 0:24.6 | As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. |
| 0:32.6 | Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort |

| 2:11.6 | Jesus and his father. The night before the cross, Christ prayed that his followers would be one in him, that the |
