There are a lot of things that are going to change throughout the course of your life…

But there is one thing that will never change – That is God’s – unconditional, unrelenting, undiminished everlasting love for you.

Listen as Pastor Michael describes the love that passes knowledge in Ephesians 3! 

Is Christ at home in your life? The Apostle Paul prayed in Ephesians 3:17 - "That Christ may dwell in your hearts ..."

If He were to walk around from room to room of your heart, would He see things that would make Him uncomfortable?

It can be challenging to settle down and feel comfortable in some homes. Then other homes feel comfortable the moment you walk in. We should live so that Jesus would feel at home in every room of our hearts.

Someone once said, "Anything done in our strength will fail miserably—or succeed even more miserably." 

This is one of the reasons why Paul  prayed for us to be - "strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man." (Eph. 3:16)

Only through the power of the Holy Spirit can we live a truly successful, victorious life for Jesus Christ. 

In Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we find two different prayers from the Apostle Paul. One focuses on enlightenment, the other enablement. One deals with understanding, the other experiencing. But each prayer revolves around the same topic - Identity. 

Listen as Pastor Michael introduces us to Paul's prayer found in Ephesians 3. 

In this episode, we look at a very dear topic to God's heart and to the Apostle Paul. It is about the most important group on the face of the earth. 

This group has made more of an impact throughout history and our society than anything else. It's the only thing on earth that's going to last forever. This group is the reason why God created the universe. And honestly, to be a part of this group is the most incredible privilege in life. 

The group I'm talking about – is the church.

In the closing verses of this chapter, Paul gave three pictures that illustrate the unity of believing Jews and Gentiles in the church.

- One Nation - (Ephesians 2:19a)

- One Family - (Ephesians 2:19b)

- One Temple - (Ephesians 2:20-22)

Jesus had a mission to bring peace to His family, and He did this through Grace and Unity – by bringing Jew and Gentile together. Now, there are three words that summarize this great work that Christ did in Ephesians 2 - Separation, Reconciliation, Unification. 

In Ephesians 2, we come now to a section in which the Apostle Paul deals with Christ's role as the great peacemaker among men. We find out that Jesus is our peace (v14), Jesus made peace (v15), and Jesus preached peace (v17). 

We live in a very stressful world. Throughout the hustle and bustle of life, people long for a peaceful “moment” because a life of peace seems too far out of reach. God’s Word shows us how we can experience more than just a moment of peace, and God offers a life of peace to every person. 

God has promised us that through His grace, we can have peace!

Listen as we cover how the peace of God surrounds every area of our life. Not just within ourselves, but the people around us. 

Because of salvation and the grace of God, we get to have the very peace of Jesus Christ!

Think about this – The peace that calmed His heart when He was falsely accused. The peace that steadied Hs voice when He spoke to Pilate. The peace that kept His thoughts clear and heart pure as He hung on the cross. That peace is available to us because - Jesus is our peace.
