“We are…. Empowered to Impact!”
In his letter to the church in Ephesus, Paul writes:
“I pray that out of his glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be fi lled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:16-21.
Paul says here that God will strengthen our inner being with His Spirit. Not only does the Holy Spirit empower us by filling us, He is also present in our lives to strengthen our hearts so that we are rooted and established in love and in faith. We do not have to resign ourselves to powerless and fruitless lives. The Christian's life is a victorious one, for God's love for us is wide and long and high and deep. Neither do we have to struggle on our own, for God fills us with all His fullness. God is able, according to His power within us, to accomplish immeasurably all that we want to do – in fact, He can do more than we ask or imagine! Hence, with “We are… Empowered to Impact!” as our theme, the church will advance the following emphasis in each quarter to make our theme a reality:

1st Quarter: Be Empowered – Spirit-Filled Life
• Be rooted and built up in Christ
• Experience the outpouring and infi lling of the Holy Spirit
• Strengthen prayer life
• Assurance of our position in Christ
