Pastor Nicole has moved into the Ephesians section of her Take Them and Learn to Run Series.

Ephesians was written to encourage unity between believers, as well as spiritual growth within the church by reminding them to live out their faith in a way that reflected their identity in Christ.

Nicole showed us through the first 10 verses of Chapter 1, that running our race well includes:

- Asking the Holy Spirit what privileges and resources has the Lord placed in my life to fulfill opportunities He gives me?

- Do I know and live out that I am chosen, adopted, made new, and accepted through the work of Jesus? We need to embrace this for ourselves and for those running their races around us.

- Am I accessing God's grace for my forgiveness, wisdom, understanding, direction, and purpose?

She went on to highlight how our individual races matter. Not one race is more important or less important than the next.

Our races will all converge in God's plan where He makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ! The Finish Line!
