Morning: "Dead Men Don't Chose to Wear Plaid: How God Makes Us to Live through and Raises us up with Christ," focused on Ephesians 2:1-10. In this passage, Paul explores the human condition apart from Christ and the glorious gift of God gracious salvation. Paul reminds us that although we experience physical life apart from Christ, until we know him we are spiritually dead. In that state we walk according to the world, serve Satan, and live habitually in disobedience to the will God as we pursue our own pleasures.
He also reminds us, that in Christ we have life and standing. We have been raised from the dead to walk in newness of life, because we have been made alive in Christ. Salvation is a gift from God. It is a gift that displays mercy, love, grace, and kindness. We should respond to this kindness by doing the good works for which God created us.
Evening: We are joining other churches in the association for a Thanksgiving worship service.
