A Walk through Ephesians: Grounded in God

This coming Sunday, I will be starting a sermon series on Ephesians called Grounded in God.  Ephesians is rich in imagery and contains great theological statements that have shaped the Church throughout the generations.

Here is an outline of our travels through this great book of the Bible!

Ephesians 1:1-14

Our inheritance is through Jesus Christ

October 26

Ephesians 2:1-10

Sola Gratia: as we celebrate the Protestant Reformation, we know that we are saved through grace alone

November 2

Ephesians 4:25-5:2

Growing up in God (aka be imitators of God, as beloved children!)

November 9 (Remembrance Day)

Ephesians 6:10-20

God’s armor

Ephesians 4:1-16 and Ephesians 5:21

Get it together 

I encourage you to read the whole book in the coming weeks! 

Yours in Christ, Emma.

Now to him who by the power at work within us

is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine,  

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.  

Ephesians 3:20-21

Article in the Hamilton Spectator - A test of Faith

The Hamilton Spectator did a thought provoking feature on October 11th on the state of the Protestant churches in Hamilton.

Mainline Protestant churches across downtown Hamilton are in trouble. Declining congregations and revenue have put them in a fight for survival that could permanently alter the city’s religious and architectural heritage. Spectator reporter Teri Pecoskie reports on the creative steps many are taking to stay afloat before a key piece of the city’s history is lost forever.


Here is the link to the full report. 

Blessings, Emma.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, 

so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2
