- Billy, thanks for a great lesson this morning! The title of next week's lesson is God's Power Strengthens. The background and lesson passage for next week is Ephesians 3:14-21. Before next Sunday, please take a moment to prayerfully read through the following passage and prepare for the lesson.
- Ephesians 3:14-21: 14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. - Happy Birthday to Matt Gardner this Wednesday, October 6th!
