As you are making your way to your seats, you can go ahead and turn in your Bible to Ephesians chapter 4. in verse one, we will begin reading the passage there once again, Ephesians 4:1. I'm gonna read this passage to you, here in a moment. I'm, I'm the guy that's filling the pulpit today in a place of Pastor Milton.
He's usually the guy that swings the bat, but I'm a pinch hitter, and so, he'll be back next week and the following weeks, and so, anyways, you should be by now be in Ephesians chapter 4 verse 1. Let me go ahead and, read verses 1 through 3. The apostle Paul says, I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the spirit. In the bond of peace.
And may the Lord add his blessing to the reading of His word. Would you join me in prayer, please? Dear Lord, we come before you this morning. Lord, and we come before your throne of grace with boldness.
We know, Lord, that you give commands to us to do so. And Lord, we know that your throne is one of grace, and therein we have hope to be able to come to you. Lord, we are asking that you would make your presence felt amongst us. We are asking, Lord, that you would give to us a sense of awe and reverence of you....
