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.

Text: Ephesians 2:11-22
Title: “One in Christ: So That We Might See the Fruit of the Gospel”
One in Christ
11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,[a] but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by[b] the Spirit.
