Dear Church Family,
“Put off your old self…Put on the new self.” That’s how Paul puts it in Ephesians chapter 4.
We live in a fashion-conscious world. We see influential people wearing certain styles of clothes and imitate them by trying to keep up with the same fashions. We want to look the same as the world around us. We do the same thing in the way that we live. We are tempted imitate the world in the way that we act, talk, and think. Sometimes we blend right in and people don’t even know we’re different. The encouragement God gives us in Ephesians 4 is to stop trying to look exactly like the world around us and start imitating God instead. The benefits of being like the world are short-lived. The hope God offers lasts forever!
So “put on your new self” and join us this Sunday as Pastor Caleb takes us through Ephesians 4:17-32 continuing our series Know Greater Hope.
