We should always remember that we were separated from God before Jesus came.

Ephesians 3: 17b-21

There is no room in the church for racism, or gender differences-we live in a world that is constantly trying to divide us.

Ephesians 4-6

Jesus called us to be: humble, gentle, patient, no unwholesome talk, be kind, compassionate, forgiven, be imitators of God, no hint of sexual immorality, foolish talk, impurity, course joking, no hint of greed, parenting advice, children and respect for parents, walk powerfully with God, and be alert and prepared. It is our job to find out what pleases God and do it. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
