People really can change because the grace of God is real. 

God has given us a resurrection hope that endures all suffering, a hope that we bring to the world, and hope a that we stand in together. 

The beauty of the gospel shines through the contrast between who we were on our own, and who we are by the powerful grace of God.

We grow as Christians when we grow in knowledge, but not just any knowledge will do. Paul’s prayer shows us how we need to know, what we need to know, and where to get the knowledge we need.

Paul’s overflowing with praise even though he’s in prison. How could we, no matter what we’re facing? To share Paul’s praise we have to share Paul’s perspective, on all that God has given in Christ.

What is Paul’s letter to the Ephesians about? It’s about the blessings that are ours in Christ, the gracious God who gives them to us, and how to respond to God’s grace in your life.

What is an authentic human life? One that fits the design of our designer. Obedience to God is authenticity for us.

What is your purpose as a human in God’s world? And how can you aim your life at this purpose?

Because God knows you completely, you can trust him completely. 

Christians are united by God grace, and are called to reflect this good gift in their lives.
