SERMON NOTESSERMON NOTES
In our journey through Ephesians, one of the
most significant overall themes of Paul’s letter is the idea

The Biblical Man is a Bible study designed to awaken the awareness of
biblical manhood and to provide a portrait of the man God created. The
study specifically focuses on the three main areas of every man's life:
personal, work and family and will answer questions such as: how do I
balance work and family, how do I get along with my boss, how do I get
along with my wife, and how do I do all of these things and honor God at
the same time?
Join this Men’s Study, being taught by Shane Lambert, on Wednesday
nights from 6:45-7:45 p.m. in the board room now through April 30.
There is no charge for the class and no pre-registration. Just show
