Text: Eph. 3:10-12; 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10

Big Idea:  God is at work building His church and it is EPIC.

This was the last week of our series EPIC: Surpassing the Ordinary.  The stage was decorated with a number of old books and a globe to make it feel like an old library or study.  The idea is that anything that is epic, anything that surpasses the ordinary takes time and effort. It doesn’t just happen.  As each of us who are part of the body of Christ and who are the church live EPIC lives individually, we will see our church become the EPIC church that God intended for it to be.
