Pastor Scott uses Palm Sunday and Ephesians 2 to show that Jesus didn’t come just to make bad people better, but to make spiritually dead people alive, rescuing them from sin, darkness, and even from themselves. He emphasizes God’s rich mercy and love, calling people to leave the “ways of the world,” fully follow Christ, and receive new life in Him.

Greg Hubbard and Pastor Karey join Andrew to discuss Ephesians 1:15–23, including Paul’s prayer that believers would truly grasp the “incredible greatness” of God’s power, especially as seen in the resurrection of Jesus, and how that power is available and accessible to believers today through faith, obedience, surrender, and consistent engagement with God’s Word. They also reflect on the need for the church to make space for God’s power to be demonstrated (not just talked about), share personal experiences with spiritual warfare and altar moments, and encourage parents and grandparents to pray this passage over their families.

Evangelist Greg Hubbard preaches from Ephesians 1 to remind us that God’s power is incomparable, limitless, and proven—especially in Christ’s resurrection—and that this same power is at work in every follower of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. He urges us not to live as weak or defeated Christians, but to trust and access this power for salvation, deliverance, healing, and victory in the midst of spiritual warfare and personal struggles.

This week's episode explores Calvinism versus Arminianism, using Ephesians 1:11–14 as a springboard to unpack predestination, election, atonement, free will, and “once saved always saved.” Pastors Scott and Eric explain why their church rejects the five points of Calvinism (TULIP), emphasizing that Christ died for all people and that every person has genuine free will to accept or reject salvation.

Pastor Maritza teaches that Christians are chosen, redeemed, and sealed by the Holy Spirit, not just to attend church, but to live transformed, Spirit‑empowered lives for the praise of God’s glory. She encourages us to fully surrender, lean into God’s Word, and actively rely on the Holy Spirit’s power to boldly confront darkness and impact our surroundings.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 1:11–14 that believers are chosen in Christ to live for the praise of God’s glory and must deflect personal praise back to Him. He explains that at salvation every Christian is marked with the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing our future inheritance.

Pastor Eric's message emphasizes that God is the same faithful God of Scripture today, but His power is experienced when we relinquish control, humble ourselves, and fully trust Him. Using an inheritance story to explain Ephesians 1, he teaches that believers are chosen to glorify God, receive an eternal inheritance through faith in Jesus, and are sealed and helped by the Holy Spirit as a guaranteed down payment of that future hope.

In this midweek episode, Andrew, Pastor Scott, and Pastor Maritza unpack Ephesians 1:5–10 as a “benefits package” given only to those who are in Christ: being chosen, adopted into God’s family, forgiven, freed from guilt and shame, and richly lavished with spiritual blessings. They explain how we can actually live holy and blameless lives, process past sin through Scripture, community, and making amends, and why it’s unbiblical to say that everyone automatically receives these blessings without faith in Jesus.

Pastor Maritza shares a message on Ephesians 1:5-10, explaining that everyone who is “in Christ” receives immense spiritual benefits. Christ’s salvation is offered to all people, not just a predestined few, and we are invited to personally respond in faith to Jesus.

Pastor Scott's message teaches that everyone who is “in Christ” receives rich spiritual benefits: being chosen to be holy and blameless, fully forgiven and redeemed from the bondage of sin, and able to know God’s will because of Jesus’ supremacy and sacrifice. He shares how Christ died for all people—not just a select few—and invites us to put our faith in Jesus and be adopted into God’s family.
