This is the first of three sermons in the mini-series on this verse. Pastor Dan was back today with a sermon on Ephesians 5:2.  “And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”  The Apostle Paul pleads with us to: Love one another voluntarily, […]

Pastor Dan has moved us to understand that it should be our desire to lives of purity and unity – especially as we live with one another in the church. Tough to do, but fortunately our God has left us a wonderful example for us to imitate, or emulate.  He has shown us what this […]

Called to unity. Called to holiness. “Fine we say. But can you help me with a good reason why holiness should be a wish or goal of mine?”  Glad you asked!  Pastor Dan’s sermon presents five reasons that the Apostle Paul give in Ephesians for motivating us to holiness.

Sometimes ‘sameness’ is good, but God had something very different in mind when he “designed” the church.  God’s plan was for a diversity of people each with at least one special gift; a gift that would benefit the whole. This was the subject of Pastor Dan’s sermon today.

Back!  Back to Ephesians! So, a new year, but Pastor Dan has us back in the Epistle to the Ephesians. Be that as it may, it was a great sermon and challenge as we look forward to 2013. So if you were unable to be here Sunday, do listen.
