Today we learn from Paul what it means to possess the hope to which we are called. This hope will see us through all trials, it will provide direction when it seems there is none, and it will provide hope and lifeline to those who have none.

Has God given up on Israel? After Christ, Paul shows how Israel fits into God’s plans. Chapter 9 shows how the more we understand God’s wisdom, goodness, and glory the more we walk in the riches of His grace. God’s greatness is shown in His love for His children as much as it is shown in His power against His enemies.

Paul writes an inspiring letter to the Ephesians, opening their eyes to the process and blessings of Christian living “Our Position in Christ.” To inspire and strengthen the believers in Ephesus in their Christian walk of faith by explaining the nature and purpose of the church, the body of Christ, standing in the truth of God’s word.

Tonight we learn the true meaning of the phrase “If God is for us, who can be against us.” This evening Paul teaches us the love of Jesus Christ has no bounds and no power in the universe can pull us from him.

The glory of heaven is beyond our comprehension. But even with its indescribable beauty the true gift of heaven is to be with God the Father and his Son for all eternity. Join us as we study this heavenly realm and more important then that how we get there.

Paul walks us through the life of victory on the days after salvation. There is no victory without Jesus Christ. We will not carry on in triumph without the Holy Spirit. Our life and its success are tied to us being united with God in all things.

The "Heaven and Hell" sermon series explores the nature of these two eternal realms and what they mean for us as believers. Part one of the series focuses on the reality of hell as a place of eternal punishment for those who reject God's offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. A sobering reminder of the reality of hell and the importance of taking it seriously.

My spirit longs to be holy like the Lord. My heart would love to please God all the time. But unfortunately, I have a sinful nature that is selfish and wants to sin. Paul explains in Romans Chapter 7, that we are a work in progress. The old sinful nature is caving into the new spiritual nature that God is flooding us with. And we celebrate that He will complete that good work till its completion.

Today as we celebrate Easter, we will look at an invitation to God’s Open House, given to us through Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. We will see the barriers God has removed, the Veil, and Stone inviting us into a relationship with Him. We will also see the door a barrier that we must remove as well.

Jesus willingly went to the cross for sins He did not commit.
