Ephesians 3:1-13


Listen Later

The sermon centers on the divine revelation of the mystery of the church—God's plan to unite Jews and Gentiles into one body in Christ, a truth hidden throughout history but now disclosed through the apostle Paul by the Spirit. This mystery, rooted in God's eternal purpose and revealed through grace, underscores that salvation and service are not earned but gifted, transforming believers into humble ministers who fulfill their roles not out of obligation but as recipients of divine empowerment. The church's mission extends beyond earthly fellowship to display the manifold wisdom of God to heavenly beings, demonstrating that God's redemptive plan was intentional, comprehensive, and fulfilled in Christ. Paul calls believers to persevere through trials, grounded in spiritual strength, love, and deep knowledge of Christ, all sustained by the Holy Spirit and fueled by a prayer life that exalts God's glory above human achievement. Ultimately, the church is not a mere institution but a living testament to God's grace, where every believer, by divine appointment, participates in a sacred, eternal purpose.
