You can know all the right facts about God and still completely miss Him. You can memorize Scripture, win theological debates, and understand doctrine perfectly - yet never actually experience the power and presence of God in your life. In this powerful message from Ephesians 1:15-23, Senior Pastor Sam Weitman dives into Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church and reveals a critical distinction that changes everything. He breaks down the Greek language to show the difference between knowing facts about God versus truly experiencing Him. Using the example of Blue Bell ice cream (you'll have to watch to understand), he reveals why Paul prayed that believers wouldn't just understand their identity intellectually, but would feel it deep in their hearts.

Here's what you'll learn:

🧠 There's a huge difference between "oida" knowledge (facts) and "ginosko" knowledge (experience)

📖 You can love the Bible but care little for Jesus

🙏 Only two things position us to experience God: pray and obey

🎉 God celebrates when one sinner repents, not when Christians switch churches

This message is for anyone whose faith feels more like facts than a living relationship. It's for anyone who wants to move beyond religious knowledge to actually experiencing the transforming power of God.
