Whiteboard: Imitators

For the whole month of August we are walking through Ephesians with a sermon series titled Living Out Our Faith.

As the sermon series builds, I keep adding extra pieces to the Whiteboard each week.

This week's addition is down there in the lower left hand corner. Yep, that is my Whiteboard sketch attempt at Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" which calls to mind this Sunday's particular worship theme from Ephesians 5 where the Apostle Paul calls us to be "imitators of God."

I'll see you this Sunday!

peace,
Rev. Brian

Ephesians 4:25-5:2 -- Rules for the New Life

So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbours, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil. Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labour and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
