2 CommentsTomorrow we’re starting a new series titled, “Love Your Neighbor.” I will be preaching from Jesus’ story of the good Samaritan.

Tomorrow: Braden Greer and New Members
0 CommentsTomorrow we will welcome 146 new members into our church. These folks have joined in the last six months, with such a diversity of ages, ethnicities and stories. I can’t wait to welcome them and pray for them with you tomorrow.
Bob Kauflin will lead us in our time of singing to the Lord, including the hymn we’re memorizing this month, “A Mighty Fortress.”
Braden Greer will be preaching from Ephesians 6:13-17 on “Our Armor.” When I asked Braden what he’s excited about in this message, he said, “In preparing this message, I’ve been excited about the preserving power of God’s word—that when it is taught, God’s word preserves our souls, preserves the church. I’ve also been meditating on the idea that the armor of God, detailed in Eph. 6:13-17, is not dependent on our own abilities, physical or mental. It’s God’s armor for each of us, so young or old, strong or weak, the spiritual battlefield is level.”

This Sunday and the Rest of Ephesians
0 CommentsThis Sunday, Eric Simmons will preach from Ephesians 6:10-12. This is the first of a three-part series we will be doing on spiritual warfare as we near the end of Ephesians. In this first message, “Our Battle,” Eric will focus on our battle with the devil and his fallen angels. More importantly, we will study Christ and the sufficient strength he gives us to make our stand against our powerful enemy.
On May 17: Our Armor. Braden Greer will focus on the armor God has given us for the battle (Ephesians 6:13-17).
On May 24: Our Mission. Robin will preach from Ephesians 6:18-20. This passage deals with the importance and power of prayer in the mission of the gospel.
But going back to this week, we have a full Sunday coming up. Bob will be leading with guest band Reilly from our sister church, Covenant Fellowship. We will also have several folks baptized, and will take a moment in the service to honor the mothers among us for their precious service to the Lord and their families.

0 CommentsThis Sunday Mark Mitchell will help us consider what it means to live as servants of Christ in the work and market places as he preaches from Ephesians 6:5-9.
Are you enjoying the hymn series? I love the way these hymns are helping us treasure God’s Word more. Tomorrow we’ll be starting on a new hymn—a real classic of the faith—“A Mighty Fortress,” by Martin Luther.
Coffee and tea will be available in the lobby after both meetings, and the youth ministry will be selling Krispy Kreme donuts again to raise money in support of the Rancho 3M orphanage, which they plan to visit and serve this summer.
Can’t wait to be with you!

The Photography Team will be in the lobby taking photos for the Member Photo Directory after the first and second meetings. If you haven’t had your photo taken, seize the day!

Back to Ephesians
0 CommentsThis Sunday Greg Somerville takes us back into our Ephesians series as he preaches from Chapter 6:1-3:
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
Mike Bradshaw will lead singing, and we will take the Lord’s Supper together.
See you there!
