We wrap up our series through Ephesians with Paul's call to arms: we're in a battle to hold the ground that Christ has won.

This week, we continue to explore how Paul’s household codes in Ephesians challenge ancient hierarchies and reshape relationships through Spirit-empowered mutual submission. With insights into how our faith transforms family, work, and societal dynamics, we are invited to reflect Christ’s kingdom in our daily interactions.

In this Advent sermon, we explore the profound themes of anticipation and hope in the midst of darkness. Drawing from Isaiah’s vision of peace and the story of Christ’s humble coming, this message reminds us to turn our hearts to God, placing our ultimate hope in His salvation and promises for the future.

In this episode, we explore the profound and challenging themes in Ephesians 5:21-33, diving into Paul’s call for mutual submission and sacrificial love within marriage. Join us as we unpack how this passage transforms cultural norms, reshaping relationships to reflect the radical love and unity of Christ and His church.

Paul’s letter to the Ephesians invites us to see ourselves in a radically new way, reshaping how we live and what we worship in light of Christ’s transformative power. In this week’s message, we dive into Paul’s challenging yet hopeful call to live as children of light, bringing our darkest struggles into the light of God’s grace and embracing the Holy Spirit’s power to reflect the new humanity Jesus is forming.

In this section of Ephesians, Paul encourages believers to resist the cultural “currents” that pull us back into old ways of living. Just as rip currents can draw swimmers away from shore, the influences around us and within us can pull us from a Christ-centered life. Paul’s message to the early church is to leave behind the “old self,” resist worldly norms, and live in the transformative way of Jesus. This message will inspire listeners to go all in with Christ, embracing a life of holiness and purpose in a world that often moves in the opposite direction.

This week, we’re looking at a big shift in Ephesians—moving from God’s cosmic work through Christ to what that means in our daily lives. Paul urges us to live “worthy of our calling,” with humility, patience, and a commitment to unity as a new kind of humanity. Unity isn’t easy; it takes real effort and maturity, but God’s grace empowers us to grow together. Join us as we explore what it looks like to live out Christ’s victory, using our unique gifts to build each other up and stay grounded in our faith.

In this episode, we continue exploring the book of Ephesians, focusing on Ephesians 3:14-21—a passage that serves as a “hinge” between the theological and practical parts of Paul’s letter. The sermon dives into Paul’s powerful prayer for believers to experience God’s promises of strength, love, and fullness. As we journey “from the stars to the dirt,” we see how God’s cosmic purpose meets our daily lives, inviting us to know a love that surpasses knowledge and to be filled with the fullness of God. This message challenges us to ask: Are we missing out on the abundance God has for us? Through the Spirit, we can experience more of His power and love, growing into a deeper relationship with Christ. Join us as we unpack this inspiring prayer and reflect on practical ways to invite God’s presence into our lives.

In this episode, we dive into Chapter 3 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, where he writes from prison about a lie many of us unknowingly believe: if something’s hard, it’s probably not worth doing. Paul’s life shows the opposite. Even in chains, he’s filled with gratitude and purpose, reminding us that the hard path often leads to the richest blessings—like the messy, beautiful community God is building through us. In a world that constantly pushes us toward the easy, Paul’s message is a reminder to embrace the challenges that grow our faith, deepen our relationships, and bring us closer to God. Join us as we reflect on what hard things we might be tempted to avoid and how stepping into them could be exactly what we need.
