Wiles First Baptist Arlington July 12, 2026 2026: Flourishing Together: Transformed on The Jesus Way Gospel Guide: John Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. -Romans 12:1-2 SUMMER 2026: Making a Difference May 31, 2026 – August 1, 2026 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. -Jesus (John 15:8) Faithfulness: Mary Magdalene Luke 8:1-3 Theme for 2026: Flourishing Together: Transformed on The Jesus Way Theme for Summer 2026: Making a Difference DIFFERENCE MAKERS: In order for us to “make a difference” in our world, we have to become difference makers!
