A question for you:&nbsp; What is your favorite all time superhero? Batman? \u2026The Black Panther?&nbsp; \u2026 Superman?&nbsp; Or maybe your favorite superhero is more real-life: a fireman that runs into a burning building to save a child? \u2026 Or maybe&nbsp; a military liberator who overthrows an oppressive dictator?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is there is something within all of us that loves a rescuer and a savior.&nbsp; I believe this resonates with us because it reflects the heart of our Savior and Rescuer Jesus Christ.&nbsp; It is in His image and likeness that we were all created.&nbsp; This week as we continue our study on the Book of Ephesians and are looking at \u201cHow You Identify\u201d, I will be preaching a sermon from Ephesians 2: 1-10 titled \u201cI AM: SAVED.\u201d&nbsp; We will see what those who are \u201cin Christ\u201d are saved from. Namely:&nbsp; death, sin, worldly living, Satan and demons, the old nature\/old desires, and God\u2019s wrath. We\u2019re saved by grace, and then empowered by grace to do good works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us for Connect worship at <strong>11:15 AM (PST<\/strong>) right here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/S_lRj-hauQ0\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/S_lRj-hauQ0<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other important Announcements:<\/strong>\n<ul><li>Remember Worship will be at 11:15 AM instead of 11:00 this Sunday, at least for this week.<\/li>\n<li>This year our Annual Meeting will be on the Webex platform on Thursday night September 17th at 7:30.
