FALL EPHESIANS SERMON SERIES

FALL WEDNESDAY WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
10-11:30 AM. Location: Ponce Church. We'll work through "God of Creation" by Jen WIlkin, a study on Genesis. Childcare is available for a fee; contact Melanie for more details. Please purchase a copy of the book before our first meeting (you do not need to get the version with video access).

TUESDAY EVENING WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
7:30 PM. Location: Lauren Huh's house in Roswell. Laura and Lauren will lead every other Tuesday evenings. We'll work through Jen Wilken's God of Creation, a study on Genesis. Contact Laura for more details.

AFTER PARTY WITH THE PICKRENS
6:30 PM. Join us on Thursday evenings at Ponce Church for 6 weeks, as we discuss political engagement with content from The After Party. This course will help shift our political identity away from the "what” of political positions and towards the "how" of being centered on Jesus. The real question for us is “How do I relate to others--including those I might disagree with--so that I better reflect Jesus?” We’ll be guided with a curriculum from The After Party to help you reorient your heart and mind toward a Christ-centered political identity, in 2024 and beyond. If you have questions please contact Pat or Tessa Pickren. Sign up will be coming soon via the Church Center App.

Our deacons would love for our congregation to participate in the Ponce Church Skill Mapping Survey. Take it here!

SERMON

Text: Ephesians 12:1-10

Title: Ephesians: Grace Through Faith-So That We Might See How We Got Here

Remember Your Creator in Your Youth

12 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain, 3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look through the windows are dimmed, 4 and the doors on the street are shut—when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low— 5 they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along,[a] and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets— 6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 8 Vanity[b] of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

Fear God and Keep His Commandments

9 Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care. 10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.
