Listen as Micahel Dasey takes us through the passage.
Paul once again prays for the Ephesian Church - a big prayer, a bold
prayer. One that we can learn from as we come to the Father who provides
all things for His glory and our good.
Ever feel like life is a bit of a mystery? Whether it's how to connect with
God or what to do once you have. Paul writes to the Ephesians about how
Jesus answers both of those mysteries.
Jesus has made a way for us to have peace with God and with each other.
We now have the privilege of calling God our Father, and all the blessings
that flow from belonging to His Family.
From death to life, from sin to salvation, God's love for us drives Him to
be rich in mercy & a lavisher of grace on undeserving people. Humanity has
a problem, and Jesus is the only solution. Join us as we check out what
Paul had to say to the newly formed church in Ephesus.
God wants us to know him more deeply. He wants us to be confident and
secure in his love. And He wants us to know his immeasurable power. We
desperately need these things, and they are available to us.
We revisit the same passage as last week to pull out three salvation gems
that flow from being chosen by God. To call God as Father, to be redeemed
by the blood of Christ, and to have His Holy Spirit to ensure we get over
the line is about as crazy wonderful as it gets!
God is sovereign in salvation. He chooses who He will save. Jesus said:
"You did not choose me, I chose you". Ephesians 1 says: "he chose us in
him, before the foundation of the world...He predestined us to be
adopted...we were predestined according to the plan of the one who works
out everything in agreement with the purpose of his will". But this raises
some big questions: Why does God choose some and not others? What about
free will? Why bother sharing the gospel if God has predetermined who will
be saved? How do I know if He's chosen me? How should predestination
impact the way I relate to God?
One of the greatest gifts God gives us is - each other! Your life isn't a
solo mission; it's a community project. That's the way God has designed
each of us for His glory. Come and check out a few of the ways we can walk
well together as a faith family in 2024.
The feet of messengers are beautiful if they bear good news.
Here are 5 good reasons to share the good news about Jesus (and to make
your feet more beautiful).
Jesus humbly washed his disciples feet as an act of love; as a symbolic
action (pointing to the cross); and to set them an example to follow. Every
time you see Sandy Feet, or a Seagull, let them remind you of Jesus'
example and how he calls you to walk.
The gospel reminds us that God has been incredibly generous to us! He's
given us His Son and blessed us with every spiritual and material blessing
we have. The gospel also compels us to be generous to other Christians in
need, and other ministries in need.
What happens after we die? We will be raised from the dead and given a new
body. What will it be like? And what difference does knowing that make to
my life today?
Jesus rising from the dead has defined the past, changed our future, and
shapes how we should live our lives now! Come and check it out!
What are tongues and prophecy? What does it mean to be a truly spiritual
church? How should we be speaking to one another when we gather?
God determines our gender. He made us male and female and established order
in the way we’re to relate to one another (based on his own nature and the
way he created us). He wants us to embrace and express our gender in godly
and honourable ways, without blurring the distinctions. What
this looks like from culture to culture will vary, and has implications for
the way we dress and relate and serve at church.
Sometimes the most loving thing to do is to limit your own freedoms and to
refrain from exercising your rights. What are the principles that drive
this Christ-honouring way of life?
What's the connection between spirituality and sexuality? How can I honour
God in my relationships and with my limited time? Should I stay single or
get married?
As the Christians in Corinth navigate their new lives following Jesus,
they’re having trouble understanding how God’s gift of sex should be used.
Paul does a course corrective as he speaks to those in the church that are
married.
As the young Corinthian church finds its feet in a city that loves sin,
Paul helps them once again to identify worldly living that's dominating the
community. Divisions, squabbles, and disputes permeate through the small
group. Taking each other to court and fighting in public bring the church
into disrepute. Have a listen to how he says to shine the light of the
Gospel in a dark city.
