Growing Up in Christ
Rev. Benjamin Wines
Ephesians 4:1-16

We look forward to joining you in Worship this Sunday, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. You can also find our services online at the HVBC YouTube Channel. Today’s sermon is titled, “Growing Up in Christ”. We will be reading from Ephesians 4:1-16, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 34.

Call to Worship Psalm 34:1-8
Leader: I will bless the Lord at all times;
People: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Leader: My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
People: Let the humble hear and be glad.
Leader: O magnify the Lord with me,
People: And let us exalt his name together.
Leader: I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
People: And delivered me from all my fears.
Leader: Look to him, and be radiant;
People: So your faces shall never be ashamed.
Leader: This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
People: And was saved from every trouble.
Leader: The angel of the Lord encamps
People: Around those who fear him, and delivers them.
Leader: O taste and see that the Lord is good;
People: Happy are those who take refuge in him.

Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, Paul writes about truth and love.
How can we use the gifts God has given us truthfully?
How does love affect the way we use our gifts?
