Sermon Series: Walk the Walk

Matt Ralph — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:20:09 +0000

The Christian faith is more than a series of doctrinal affirmations; it is a life we are called to live. There is a common adage, “You must walk the walk before you can talk the talk.” In his letter to the Ephesians, Saint Paul describes what the walk of faith in Jesus Christ is like, and how living an authentic life in Jesus Christ is the most powerful witness. Join us for our month of family worship services in which we will explore the journey of genuine faith.

August 8 Walk in Grace Ephesians 1:1 – 2:10
August 15 Walk in Unity Ephesians 2:11 – 3:20
August 22 Walk in Holiness Ephesians 4:1 – 5:20
August 29 Walk in Submission Ephesians 5:21 – 6:9
September 5 Walk in Strength Ephesians 6:10-6:20
