August 17 - Ephesians 4:1–16 – T & S PROMPTS Responses

Good Day! 

💬 Before we begin: I hope you enjoyed this week’s study with Pastor Arp. He will be continuing with us next week as we explore Ephesians 4:17–32 together.

As Week 4 draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on what God has been teaching us through these verses. We’ve seen the call to walk worthy of our calling—marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and love. We’ve also recognized the beauty of unity in the body of Christ and how every member has a vital part to play in helping the body grow in love.

Now we respond with T – Thanking and S – Sealing (with Prayer).
