This Week's Sermon Text....

This Sunday, March 8th, we will continue our study through Paul's letter to the Ephesians. The passage for this week is Ephesians 4:1-16 

1
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.
8 Therefore it says,

“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
    and he gave gifts to men.”

9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

If you would like to plunge into Ephesians, you can find information about the letter with an overview of the setting HERE

If you would like to study along with the current sermon series on Ephesians, the above image will link you to a study on Ephesians from the Gospel Coalition.
At Grace, the primary way we gather outside of Sunday Morning Worship is in small groups. We call these “Grace Groups.” We believe that real gospel growth and change come in the context of relationships. Getting involved in a Grace Group is one of the most intentional ways to go about building deeper relationships with others in order to foster the life transformation for which our hearts long and to see that life transformation happen in others as well. Do you want to know more about Grace Groups? For more information, contact Steve at morgan.steveng@gmail.com. ALSO>>>you can read more about Grace Groups HERE!
