Spirit-filled husbands and wives reveal the relationship between Christ and the church––when we both submit to one another. Husbands, let's love our wives like Jesus loves the church, and care for them as our own bodies ought to be cared for. Wives, let's respect our husbands with the same reverent submission that we as a church show to our Savior. Singles – let's embrace the call to submit to one another and give thanks for the relationship we have with our Savior as part of His church!

Church, we've spent long enough living thoughtlessly and foolishly, not taking note of the "weather" around us. Look carefully; buy up your opportunities; think sensibly about what God wants for you! We are eager to see what God will do as we welcome the Spirit's work in us together!

This pattern of put off – renew – put on leads us to ordinary and powerful changes! We defy a culture that denies that we can even do these things. We define a new culture within the church that unites us and builds one another up. We respond to God's very real presence with us. And even in these "small things," we reveal God's love and sacrifice in daily actions. What will you put off this afternoon? What's renewing your mind? What will you put on, for God's good news to be seen in you?

The world of amusement we live in is not how we learned Christ! Paul urges the believer to take off your old self to put on the new one - from a renewed mind within. What will you put your mind to today? How will you refresh your mind in Christ day by day?

So what did Jesus give us all these spiritual leaders for? To equip us – all of us – to build up His body, the people all around us! We've got plenty ahead of us to do, then: to get everyone active, to move to maturity, to watch for what would throw us, to grow up into Christ, and to build this body in love. Let's go!

Paul shows us in Ephesians that when you’re grounded in the gospel, you push—even from prison—for a matching walk that guards our unity with zealous energy, because of our oneness in Christ. So what's your passion for unity look like? Are you quick to cast people aside, or eager to raise others up to walk arm in arm for Jesus? Let's show that unifying energy for what Jesus died to bring together!

Join in listening as Guest Speaker Sean Patrick goes through his sermon 'The Miracle Story of Jesus'. It weaves a simple outline of his life on earth with a call to evangelism born out of Acts 1:8, Matthew 5:14, and Matthew 28:19-20. For the listener, it's a challenge to engage in the work of evangelism.

We love celebrating the things we are passionate about. The challenge is that our hearts are often more captivated by the things of this world than by God himself. As a result, we can miss the joy of authentic worship -- the very purpose for which we were created.

Jesus teaches us how to pray! But the form He gives is more than a "how-to" -- it guides our worship-filled relationship with Him! As you dwell on your relationship with our Creator, King, Savior, and Father, let this mindset and worldview bring you into deeper and richer prayer with our God.

We can get worked up over "the worship" on Sundays, but remember why we gather: to celebrate the gospel with God's people in the diversity of God's family! What is your heart rejoicing over and settling on as we come back home on this day of worship?
