Cambria Pulpit

Church unity is a fragile aspect of church life. Sin takes place in the body that threatens unity. Pride exists in the body that destroys unity. And Satan does all that he can to eliminate unity. We must all be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. But how do we do that? How do we maintain unity? This sermon examines three aspects of unity that we must all understand to maintain unity in the church.

When you have a significant position, you also have a considerable responsibility. So what responsibility does the Gospel bring? In Ephesians 4, we see that the Gospel brings expectations for a changed life. 

Do you get excited about God's grace? We easily fail to comprehend the amazing grace of God. So in Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul prays that we would grasp the glory of God's grace. 

Mysteries can be thrilling adventures. We enjoy the twists and turns of a good mystery. In Ephesians 3, Paul teaches us that God has been working His mysterious plan of redemption since the beginning of time.

Do you feel alone in this world? Sometimes our decisions and habits in life leave us feeling lonely and stuck. But Ephesians 2:11-22 reminds us that we are not alone in this world. Christ has given us access to God and membership in His covenant community. 

Why did God save you? In Ephesians 2:8-10, we learn that God saved us by His grace and for His glory. Your salvation is ultimately about God.

Remembering your past can produce guilt and frustration. Your former mistakes and failures can be haunting. However, in Ephesians 2:1-7, we learn that in Christ we have new life by the riches of God's grace. 

"How should I pray for my church?" In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul prays for the church in Ephesus and demonstrates what we should pray for. As we seek to know Christ and all His blessings, we should pray that our church will do the same.

God has richly blessed us in Christ. However, we often fail to realize all of these amazing benefits. In Ephesians 1:4-14, Paul reminds us of this powerful truth and points us to God's glory.

We have been given every spiritual blessing in Christ to the praise of His glory. In this sermon, Pastor Dave examines these spiritual blessings and their vast greatness. We are blessed beyond measure, supplying us with hope and peace in this broken world.
