Good evening! Happy Wednesday! You have to take a seat because we’re starting. I’m sorry. Are you guys happy to be here today? I’m happy you guys are here. Tonight is going to be a treat, but also a bittersweet moment because our Pastor Dave Taylor is moving to Tennessee. He’s teaching tonight, which is awesome, but this might be the last time you’ll hear from him for a while. We’re very excited that you guys are here, and it’s going to be a great word. Before we do that, let’s all stand and worship together. Let’s sing some songs to fill us up with joy and encourage us. Say amen and let’s sing.
God is so faithful, guiding us to gather every week despite the week’s hardships or joys. Pastor Dave Taylor, moving to Tennessee from high school, is teaching tonight, marking a bittersweet moment. The Refugee Family Picnic on June 8th at Mery Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. is a churchwide event with fun activities. The picnic will include games, food, barbecues, soccer games, and fun for kids. We encourage you to bring your own chair and dish to share for church gatherings. “Unity as Believers” in Ephesians 4:1-6 will be the focus tonight. Join us and worship the Lord together.
Introduction
Welcome to the Wednesday evening study at Refuge Calvary Chapel. Tonight, Pastor David Taylor will be sharing insights from the Bible text found in Ephesians 4:1-6. This midweek study is a time of reflection, learning, and growth in faith, and we are excited to have you join us.
Unity in Believers
Unity in the body of Christ is essential for believers to come together, support one another, and grow in their faith. As Pastor David Taylor will delve into the importance of unity in the teachings of the Bible, we are reminded of Ephesians 4:1-6 that emphasizes how believers should walk in unity and peace, reflecting the unity of the Trinity.
Music Credits
During our study, we use various worship songs to uplift our spirits and draw closer to God. The songs used are carefully selected to enhance our worship experience and deepen our connection with the divine. We appreciate the song creators for their dedication and talent in creating music that inspires and uplifts.
