But just imagine what God has handcrafted for the heavenly city of Jerusalem. We'll get a sneak peek on today's program Ephesians 2:18

Ephesians 2:8
Oftentimes, we're known more for what we're against than what we're for, more for what we refrain from doing than what we set out to do. Well, today, pastor Ray shows us how we can be doers of the word and show the world with a love of God.
Ephesians 2:8-10
Our needs and desires come as no surprise to God. We can't forget that he created us. What's more, he knows how to meet those needs and he knows how needs that go unmet temporarily in build character. And that shapes us into who he wants us to be. More on that today from pastor Ray.
Ephesians 2
We all want to be loved even though we can sometimes feel so unlovable. Yet God loved you enough to send his only son to give his life so that God can spend eternity with you. It's the greatest love story ever. But we'll see that love is more poignant when we realize he loved us when we were his enemy
Ephesians 2
If we choose to, we can add another fear to our collection. If you follow the news, listen to a small talk at work, or just speak with a neighbor, you can find something new to bring anxiety. Today, pastor Ray says God has a better idea. Trust in him and his love and providence will sustain you.
Ephesians 2:1-3
If you had a treasured antique, you might have it appraised, but the only real way to know its worth is by the price someone is actually willing to pay. Well, to God, you're worth the price. Jesus paid at Calvary. Your worth is beyond measure. More on that today. As pastor Ray points out, that we're God's treasure.
Ephesians 1:15-23
We sometimes expect this life to be a bed of roses, but often feel nothing but the thorns. As Erma Bombeck put it, if life is a bowl of cherries, what am I doing in the pits? Today, as pastor Ray continues our studies in Ephesians, we'll get good counsel for tough times from Paul, the prayer warrior.
Ephesians 1:15-23
Wouldn't it have been a thrill to experience the Garden of Eden creation just the way God intended? Well, one day the earth will return to its former glory.

Acts 1:6
God knew from the beginning of time that we would fail, that we would sin. And so his plan from the very start was to redeem us, to rescue us from the death sentence of our sins. And today, pastor Ray brings us the whole story of God's salvation plan and how we each must respond. Ephesians 1:6
We have a spiritual debt problem. The wages of our sin is death, and we can't afford that. Today we'll see Jesus paid the price himself and purchased our eternal life. Foundational teachings coming up.

I want to go to heaven. He has never refused anyone.

It's a mystery how Jesus could be fully God and fully man. It doesn't seem possible, but with God all things are possible. But as humanity is traced back to someone we'll talk about today, a young teenage girl gave birth to the one who would save her from her sin. With remarkable spiritual insight from Luke. Luke chapter one, beginning in verse 26.
The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. But God isn't holding back his plans and purposes until we decide to believe.

And today, pastor Ray helps us see how our plans and prayers and dreams can be a part of our walk with the Lord. It's one of the essentials will uncover as pastor Ray launches an in-depth study today in the Gospel of Luke.
