It's Important To Know Who We Are AND Whose We Are

It was a lovely sunny morning with a few clouds being blown across the blue sky by a chilly breeze as we gathered at FBC to worship and praise God for all He has blessed us with and to continue our study of  Ephesians.  We began our time together in the sanctuary with a song of corporate praise, followed by the welcome from Chris.  The choir followed the welcome with a reminder that great joy awaits us in eternity through the song, "Hymn Of Heaven" with Brian B. singing the solo.  The congregation continued the worship and praise with more congregational songs before Pastor Wes took us back into Ephesians 1 to examine verses 3-6 in greater detail.  The important things to remember from these four  verses are  that He blesses us in Christ because He chose us before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before Him, so that we could be adopted as sons, because of His great loving-kindness toward those who have put their faith for salvation and eternity in the finished work of Jesus in His death and resurrection. Pastor Wes had much more to say about all these things and you can see it all in the Live-stream.  I am praying for clear skies tomorrow, so that we can see the eclipse, but if the answer to my prayer is "no", God will still be in charge and worthy of praise and worship......
