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.

SERMON
Text: Eph 3:1-13
1 For this reason I, Paul, oa prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 show the mystery was made known to me by revelation, uas I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is1 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power. 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in2 God, who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. 13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
