Pastor Jeremy continues his series, An Ephesians Cruise, on Sunday in Glendive.

Cruise Card - your form of identification on the ship - it’s

how you get on, off, make purchases, tip, enter your

room, & access entertainment options that are available

to you.

Ephesians chapter 2 talks about our cruise card for the

kingdom of God.

● We WERE: dead, children of wrath, led by our

flesh, without Christ, strangers, aliens, without

God, without hope, afar off, & foreigners.

● We ARE: alive, together, raised up, saved, His

handiwork, near, at peace, new, reconciled,

citizens, members, & stable.

● NOW: have access to God, He shows us His

exceeding riches of His grace and kindness, do

good works, have access to the Father, growing

into a holy temple in the Lord, & we are a dwelling

place for God.

● Verse 13 - But now in Christ Jesus you who once

were far off have been brought near by the blood

of Christ.

○ Eph 2 mentions nothing about your feelings

granting you access to the things of God.

○ Eph 2 mentions nothing about your opinion

○ Eph 2 mentions nothing about your intellect

granting you access to the things of God.

○ Eph 2 mentions nothing about your career

granting you access to the things of God.

○ Eph 2 mentions nothing about your role in

the home granting you access to the things

of God.

○ Eph 2 mentions nothing about your race,

gender, economic status, social status,

political party preference, or church

affiliation granting you access to the things of

God.

● Our identity needs to be in Christ.

○ We can do all things Phil. 4:17

○ We are more than conquerors through Christ

Rom. 8:37

○ Greater is He that is in you than he that is in

the world. 1 John 4:4

○ Provision comes from your relationship with

Jesus Phil. 4:19

○ Healing comes from your relationship with

Jesus 1 Peter 2:24

○ Peace, joy, a sound mind, future, hope,

protection, authority...these all come from

our relationship with Jesus.

○ We have access to all these things through

our cruise card, our I.D., because of who we

are In Christ.
