Look back:  Read back over Ephesians 2:11-22 and remember the church is the beneficiary of God’s covenant promises, the product of a restorative work by Jesus Christ, and the people of God and citizens of His kingdom.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, Pastor Michael will be continuing the DNA of the Church sermon series. Give thought in your reading this week to the word of God itself and pray for the church during the week. 

Sing: Visit the blog for this week's music. In September, our memory verse will be John 16:33. 

Catechize: (New City Question 1)
