*Family of God Praise Song
I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God. I’ve been washed in
the fountain, cleansed by His blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we
travel this sod, for I’m part of the family, the family of God.
Call to Worship:
You know what time it is,
How it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep.
For salvation is nearer to us than when we became believers;
The night is far gone, the day is near.
Let us then lay aside the works of darkness
And put on the armor of light.

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name thy

forgive those that trespass against us. Lead us not into
temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory forever. Amen!”

“Keys to New Life”
December 28 2015
Your friend wasn’t able to make it to church this week.
He/She has asked you to summarize the sermon for him/her.
What would you say?
What scripture was shared during the sermon?
Were these verses new to you, or have you studied them
before?
What did you find challenging or new in these verses when
you applied them to your life?
What was the one thing—the golden nugget—from the
sermon that challenged you, changed you, caused you to
really think about things, and/or made you want to take action
right away?
What difference has it made, or do you think it will make, in
your life and your relationship with God and others?
Scripture
Ephesians 3: 14-19
For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every
family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray
that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with
power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ
may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you,
being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power,
together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide
and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to
know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be
filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
