SUNDAY 1ST Ephesians 3:”14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from
whom every familyin heaven and on earth takes its name. 16 I
pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be
strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, 17 and
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and
grounded in love. 18 I pray that you may have the power to
comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and
depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to
him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far
