becoming who we are ...

As a prisoner for the Lord, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.


Ephesians 4:1-6

we're five weeks into this Ephesians series ... what an amazing journey for our community ...

our prayer is that God speak to you this week ... that He would remind you of the call on your life ... that you are blessed, you are chosen, you are adopted, you are forgiven, you are alive ... you are called ... and God will never change the way He sees you ...

and may you live a life worthy of this call on your life ... may you live who you are ...

ephesians ...

hey stirring community ...

a couple weeks ago, we began a new series 'becoming who we are' ... we're reading through the book of Ephesians ... I believe God has so much to say to us over these next few weeks ... let's keep pressing into Jesus ...

and I pray that you, being rooted in love, may grasp how wide and how long and how high and how deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge ... that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God ...

Ephesians 3:17-19 ... we're praying for you ...

adopting sofia ...

on Sunday night, we began an eight week series in the book of Ephesians ... becoming who we are ...

what is so awesome about this story is that Dan and Alyssa would travel across the world to get to this one girl, Sofia ... that they would spend so much time and energy and money to bring this one girl home as their own ...

and what if God pursues us with that same passion?
