Lessons

The lesson on August 2, 2015 was given by Leland Maples from the LOOPs Ministries.  Leland gave an update on the LOOPs ministry then gave a lesson on the special relationship with have with Christ when PAul said from Ephesians 5:30 KJV “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones”.  This is related to Adam and Eve when God created Adam and Eve was bone of his bones, flesh of his flesh.  We are bones of His bones, being seated with Christ far above.  The scripture reading was from Ephesians 5:25-32 KJV

“25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
