Unity in the Body of Christ
4 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling
to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience,
bearing with one another in love, 3 making every effort to maintain the unity of
the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you
were called to the one hope of your calling, 5 one Lord, one faith, one
baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.
7 But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s
gift. 8 Therefore it is said,
“When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive;
he gave gifts to his people.”
14 We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every
wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful
scheming. 15 But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into
him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit
together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working
properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.
The Old Life and the New
17 Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the
Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their
understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and
hardness of heart. 19 They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned
themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building
up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who
hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked
with a seal for the day of redemption. 31 Put away from you all bitterness and
wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, 32 and be
kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has
forgiven you.
-Ephesians 4:1-8; 14-19; and 29-32

The Wall of Honor
Hope’s Wall of Honor is an everlasting tribute to our Veterans. It was designed and
donated to Hope by Brother Sid Taylor, a US Marine, Vietnam combat veteran and
beloved member of Hope. It is a memorial tribute to commemorate the sacrifices our
veterans have made for our country. We are grateful to Sid and his family for blessing
us all with the
beautiful Wall of
New names are added to the Wall of Honor every Veteran’s Day. If you, a loved one, or
a friend served in the armed forces and would like to be added to the Wall, please
complete the Wall of Honor form located in the Literature Rack and place it in the Wall of
Honor mailbox outside the Sanctuary. God bless you.
