ANNOUNCEMENTS

OCTOBER SUNDAY SCHOOL SERIES | SUNDAYS | 9:20AM

This October we will be studying Becoming Whole: Why the Opposite of Poverty Alleviation is not the American Dream to learn together how the Bible's vision of wholeness is more complex and complete than the narratives offered by the world around us. Feel free to order and begin reading the book now in preparation for the class beginning Oct 3!

OCTOBER KIDS’ SUNDAY SCHOOL KICKOFF | TODAY | CHAPEL | 9:20 AM

Join us for the October 3rd for donuts and to meet our Children’s Sunday School teachers! There will be four classes provided this October: Pre-K, 1st-2nd Grade, 3rd-5th Grade, 6th-12th Grade. Questions? Contact Sam our Children’s Ministry Coordinator.

OCTOBER BLOG SERIES

In light of our upcoming SS series on the book Becoming Whole: Why The Opposite of Poverty Alleviation Is Not the American Dream, we want to welcome our congregation to contribute to the church blog. Topics: what it means to be human/being whole; reactions to the October series book; reflection on how you were shaped to see wholeness growing up and how you misunderstood that concept. If interested, contact Ashley for more information!

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS HALLOWEEN PARTY | 10.29

Start pulling together your costumes! We are hosting a Halloween party for all the Young Professionals at Ponce on Friday, Oct 29. More details to come soon. For now save the date and invite some friends!  

PRAYER CURRENT | 11.13
“Have you struggled with developing prayer in your daily life? Don’t know what to say or what to pray about? Are you worried that your prayers don’t sound spiritual enough? Well, mark your calendar’s for Saturday, Nov. 13th, as we will seek to answer and dispel many of these questions.

PPC will be hosting a training and application of Prayer Revolution with the ministry of Prayer Current. You will learn the biblical, spiritual, and practical components of Kingdom-oriented prayer and how this communion with God has been at the core of every spiritual renewal or revival in human history. (Both personally & corporately) This event will focus on both the theory & application of prayer throughout the seminar. (You will actually pray!!!) And better yet, you will walk away with a plan and group of people with whom you can grow in this area together. Please contact Kevin Carroll, kcarroll705@gmail.com, if you have any questions or would like to sign up for this vital opportunity.”

NURSERY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are in need of new volunteers for nursery (serving Sunday mornings 3-4 times a year). If interested, reach out to Sam (childrensministry@poncechurch.org)!

SERMON TEXT | 1 Peter 1:13-25 (ESV)

Called to Be Holy

13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for

“All flesh is like grass
    and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
    and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”

And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
