Exciting Changes this Fall!

This weekend, Pastor Manion begins a new sermon series call The People of Way. This will be a 12-week journey through the book of Ephesians. While the book of the Ephesians is loaded with great, verses, theology and learnings to consider each week, it can be simply broken down into two sections; how we belong (chapters 1-3) and how we behave (chapters 4-6). It seems that Paul believed that our identity (who we are) should radically shape our behavior (what we do). Discovering or re-discovering our identity in Christ this fall may be catalytic for our spiritual growth as people and as a church.

In the past, the small group staff has produced a booklet to be a companion guide for the fall series. This year, we're trying a new approach to help people and groups connect with the fall series. Starting this week, you will find in your weekly program or bulletin,four studies called Beyond the Weekend. These are designed to help you reconnect with the passage and topic of that week's sermon and to introduce you to some other passages and exercises to take you further.

Though ABCLinks will no longer be published, we will be writing small group discussion guides that will be available online as well through an email subscription each week. Also, if you've been enjoying the articles on the front page of the ABCLinks each week, those will be found in the blog called Living in Community found at http://livingincommunity-adabible.blogspot.com/

To receive the weekly small group discussions, contact the small group department at smallgroups@adabible.org

God bless you this fall. I hope you enjoy the new changes.
