Amen. How we doing, church? Doing good? You look great. If you got your Bibles, I hope you do, grab them. We're going to be in Ephesians chapter 2 for the large majority of the sermon, one, two verses, one verse out of Matthew, a little bit in Luke, but for the big chunk of the middle, we're going to be in Ephesians chapter 2.
