ANNOUNCEMENTS

DUE TO THE CITY-WIDE MASK MANDATE, PONCE WILL NOW REQUIRE INDIVIDUALS TO WEAR MASKS

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS SERVICE PROJECT | 1.29 | 8:30 AM
Join us to serve our neighbors on Saturday morning, January 29th. Meet at Ponce Church at 8:30 and we will take some food, socks and winter clothes to neighbors on the street. Afterwards we will grab breakfast together nearby.

FEBRUARY SUNDAY SCHOOL SERIES: WORK
Homework. Housework and yard work. Volunteer work. Working out to stay in shape. Not to mention paid work in its many forms. The vast majority of our waking lives are spent working. 
We tend to experience some forms of work as necessary evils while others are so enjoyable and fulfilling that they can become addictive. Unfortunately, we participate in many forms of work as if they are unrelated or even opposed to God's work in the world and in us. Perhaps that doesn't have to be the case? 

Join us for a four-week Sunday school class in February to explore a Christian understanding of work. In this class we will explore God's original intention for work, the ways our experience of work have been affected by sin, how God uses work redemptively (in us and through us), and how we as Christians should evaluate dynamics of gifting and calling in the work we choose to do. 

PONCE MARRIAGE SEMINAR | 2.11-12

Conflict in marriage is inevitable, but thankfully it doesn’t have to stay in that phase. Join us at our first ever marriage retreat as Dr. Mike and Renee Higgins walk us through the stages of conflict resolution via Recognition, Resolution, & Transformation. We will attend this seminar together with our sister churches Grace Emmanuel, Kainos Fellowship, & Reconcile Church. The retreat will begin with a Friday evening talk on February 11th (7 PM), followed by two sessions on Saturday, February 12th (10-2PM) at Ponce Church. The cost for the retreat will be $20/person. Scholarships are available. Please RSVP by February 1st here. Lunch provided on Saturday.

PASTORAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | 1 PETER 2:21-3:6 (ESV)

21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Wives and Husbands

3 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

“Million Little Miracles”

All my life I've been carried by grace

Don't ask me how 'cause I can't explain

It's nothing short of a miracle I'm here

I've got some blessings that I don't deserve

I've got some scars but that's how you learn

It's nothing short of a miracle I'm here

I think it over and it doesn't add up

I know it comes from above

I've got miracles on miracles

A million little miracles

miracles on miracles

Count your miracles, 1-2-3-4, I

Can't even count 'em all

You held me steady so I wouldn't give up

You opened doors that nobody could shut

I hope I never get over what You've done

I wanna live with an open heart

I wanna live like I know who You are

I hope I never get over what You've done

It's not coincidence and it's not luck

I know it comes from above

I've got miracles on miracles

A million little miracles

Miracles on miracles

Count your miracles, 1-2-3-4, I

Can't even count 'em all

Miracles on miracles

A million little miracles

Miracles on miracles

Count your miracles, 1-2-3-4 I

Can't even count 'em all

I can't even, I can't even count 'em all

I can't even, I can't even count 'em all

I can't even, I can't even count 'em all

1-2-3-4, I can't even count them all
