Series: Formed in Christ: Essentials of the Faith 

Title: Responding to Grace: Faith and Obedience 

Scripture: Mark 1:14-20, Romans 12:1-2 

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Wednesday Morning Women’s Study Starts this week, Sept 9 — Dec 9 from 10-11:30 a.m. beginning a new study: Romans– The Glory of the Gospel, a 10-week study. Why is Romans considered the greatest letter ever written? In this New Testament epistle, the apostle Paul provides the clearest explanation of the gospel and the eternal hope for a humanity marred by sin and death. Through our King Jesus, God reveals his righteousness, redeems his people from their sins, and unlocks the floodgates of his mercy. It’s a vibrant, fun, comfortable group that can’t wait to meet you! All are welcome to join in!! Books are $10. No childcare. 

Thursday Night Women’s Study has begun meeting from 6:30–8:00 p.m. as we Walk Thru the Bible and study God’s Grand Story. This is the story of God’s work to redeem, restore, and renew His people. Together, we’ll explore the Old and New Testaments, discover how Scripture fits together, and see how God’s story points us to Jesus. Come step into His Story with us. Childcare offered by reservation only. Contact the church office to RSVP by Tuesdays, 843-681-6698. All welcome — whether you’re new to Bible study or have studied for years. The Bible changes everything! Come immerse yourself in His Word.

Time for Kairos Cookies and Prayer! Our Kairos Prison Ministry team needs your homemade cookies and your commitment to pray for the upcoming 4-day weekend of ministry at Ridgeland, SC Correctional. Bring cookies next Sunday, September 13 or to the church by noon on Wed., Sept 16. All types of cookies are appreciated, but no fruit, nuts, or icing. Though not required, it is helpful if you bag your cookies in sets of six in a sealable sandwich size baggie. Inmates are drawn to the homemade cookies; then as they taste something delicious they hear that Jesus loves them—that He always has and a door of hope opens in their lives. We know that Jesus will do something wonderful during this weekend. Be part of it! “Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!” Psalm 34:8 Questions? See the team today at the prayer sign up or call Rick VanPuffelen at 843-384-1694.
