Message Notes

God's Masterpiece
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. Ephesians 2:1-2

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. Ephesians 2:3

Man can shape circumstances, but circumstances should not be allowed to shape the man. We should seize upon circumstances as instruments by which to work. We are to master them, but should not permit them to master us. Messages to Young People pg 194.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6-7

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

This Week the message is God's Masterpiece. Graduations are coming up which means that some will be entering a new stage of life. Hopefully, we can be sure that we are being used for God's "handiwork" in whatever stage of life we are in.

Next Week is Pathfinder Investiture. This worship service is dedicated to our Pathfinders as we will have an investiture ceremony that honors their hard work throughout this past year. As we celebrate this great ministry for our children, all of us will be inspired during this special Sabbath service.

Funeral service for Marylene Morris will be held Monday, June 6 at 11:00 a.m. at the Sky Rose Chapel at Rose Hills Memorial Park, 3888 Workman Mill Road, Whittier, CA. 90601

Vacation Bible School is July 16-22. If you would like to help, please talk to Bill or Linda. Thanks!

Prayer Walk: The Downey Outreach team is going to do a prayer walk on June 11th. We are going to meet at 8 am and have a breakfast and then walk through Downey while we pray. Please join us!

The flowers today are for Margarette's birthday.
