A message from the series "Ephesians." Sunday we will close our study of Ephesians 4 by focusing on verse 32. To prepare yourself for the message please reflect back to Matthew 6:9-15, the “Lord’s Prayer”. The emphasis will be on Christ-Like kindness and forgiveness. Is our attitude truly reflective of the grace God has given us? If we have experienced God’s kindness and forgiveness, then we should have a readiness to forgive others. Please take some quiet time this week to read and pray over this scripture.

A message from the series "Ephesians." As we continue to discuss the practical aspects of our walk in “newness of life”, we will look at Ephesians 4:29-32. In preparation turn to Luke 6:43-45 and reflect on how Paul interprets and expands on it in his letter to the Ephesians. Our words reveal our heart. We are called to do more than simply harness our tongue. We are called to breathe grace into every conversation. Are your words bringing joy to the Holy Spirit of God?

A message from the series "Ephesians." Last Sunday Pastor Dave focused on verses 17-24 in Ephesians 4. We discussed our walk in “newness of life”, “to put off our old self and put on the new self”. When this happens a change occurs, and in verses 25-32 Paul gives us application in our conversion. The message on Sunday will be Part 2 of “Real Change”. Paul is getting into the very practical aspects of what it means to be a new creation. Please take time this week to meditate on these verses. Self-evaluate in prayer how you are maturing in Christ in relation to this teaching.

A message from the series "Ephesians." On Sunday, we will return to our study in Ephesians 4. Please focus on verses 17-24 but also continue to read to verse 32. The message will continue our theme of the “Worthy Walk”. I love how Warren Wiersbe puts it when discussing our walk “in newness of life”, he states that in our conversion we “take off the grave clothes and put on the grace-clothes!” Keep in mind as you read this section that in our salvation transformation the process of a changed life begins.

A message from the series "Standalone." Over the last few weeks in our study of Ephesians, we have focused on how to live a fruitful life characterized by growing in maturity and Christlikeness. We’ve examined what it means to have unity among a diversely gifted body of Christ followers, and we’ve looked at God’s vision for His church. This Sunday, while we will divert from Ephesians to Psalm 37, we will continue to unpack the foundational principles that guide the church corporately, and believers individually, as we navigate difficult seasons. As sojourners in a foreign land, we are rightly concerned about the future of this country and, more importantly, our Biblical responsibility to live as salt and light. The scripture has good news for our weary souls - words of comfort and direction for us. God will not forsake His people!

A message from the series "Ephesians." On Sunday we will continue to look at Ephesians 4:7-16. Our focus verses will be 11-16. Pastor Dave will be discussing what God’s word has to say in regard to “Equipping and Growing” the church. As a body of believers, we strive to mature in our faith. We work to accomplish this by growing together, ministering to each other, and thereby experiencing spiritual unity. Pastor Dave will also give a very practical application to this passage, engaging the culture we live in. Please, set aside a portion of your time this week to study and pray over this section of scripture.

A message from the series "Ephesians." This Sunday we will continue with our study in Ephesians 4 focusing on verses 7-16. Paul covers so much ground in this portion of scripture. As you carefully read and meditate on each verse, keep this message in mind: “What is God’s Plan for His church?”

A message from the series "Ephesians." On Sunday we will return to our study in Ephesians 4:1-6. Please, continue to meditate and pull out the meaning of this portion of God’s word. Keeping in mind that unity is built on the truth of the word. In the message, we will look at the “worthy walk” part 2 and see that the worthy walk is a Christlike Walk.

A message from the series "Baptism Sunday." This Sunday will be a church service you won’t want to miss. We will celebrate the victory of salvation by being part of a “Baptism Sunday” celebration. The centerpiece of our worship will be in the baptism of ten young people and one adult! The message of our service will be primarily in the testimonies you will hear of the miracle of heart transformations that have taken place. Pastor Dave will close with a short message of his own from the attached scripture Matthew 28:16-20.

A message from the series "Ephesians." On Sunday we will return to our study in Ephesians. This amazing journey through scripture will begin by turning to Ephesians 4:1-6 and continue through chapter 6 as Paul unfolds the “Worthy Walk”. For your reading, this week the focus should be on verse 1. As Paul sits in chains, a prisoner of Rome, feel his love as he reaches out to the body of believers in Ephesus.
