Ephesians

Luke 3:1-6
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate
was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother
Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of
Abilene,  2  during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of
God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.  3  He went into all the
region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the
forgiveness of sins,  4  as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet
Isaiah, ‘The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
    make his paths straight.
5  Every valley shall be filled,
    and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
and the crooked shall be made straight,
    and the rough ways made smooth;
6  and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”’

Most people have heard the word "grace," but for Methodists, it is more than a nice idea — it is the whole foundation of how we live. God's grace starts working in our lives before we even realize it, drawing us toward something bigger than ourselves. It meets us at our lowest point, lifts us up, and then keeps walking with us every step of the way. This week, we're unpacking why grace isn't just a gift we receive but a way of life we practice toward every person we meet. Join us this Sunday and discover why grace might be the most radical idea in the room.

 

On Sunday, we begin a special sermon series about YOU! In November, Pastors Adam and Val reflect on what makes FUMC more than just a church, but a family - where every seat feels like home. In the first sermon in the series, we look back at the Saints of our church. We are who we are today because faithful Christians before us taught us, served alongside us, and showed us what it means to follow Jesus. All Saints Sunday services will take place at all three worship services, 8:30, 11:00 & 11:15 am.

This Sunday, Pastor Adam preaches the last in his inaugural sermon series with FUMC, 'New Creation'. This week, we look at Ephesians, in which Paul reminds the people of Ephesus that it is through God's grace that we can be born into a new creation. Join us this weekend to explore how we can put in the work to make our own transformation.
