My name is Donna Ring. I came to Riverside via City Chapel when the two churches merged several years ago. This October I will have been in my house on the west side for 25 years! One of the blessings of living on this side of town is that I’m only 5-6 minutes away from The Beacon.
Read Ephesians 6:1-9
The theme of the Lenten studies is “Living like we are His people”.
- Notice the first word in verse one. What does that tell us? Reflect on this.
There are two parallels here of those who are subordinate and those who have authority: children/parents; slaves/masters.
- What do you observe about both? Note ways in which they are alike and ways they are different (compare and contrast).
- What qualities are to be exemplified?
- How are you to live like His person in your family relationships and in your job or situation in which you are under someone’s authority?
Children are His people, too. Pray for the Riverside children as they live like His people in such a mine-filled culture as the one we are in.
