Ephesians 5:18-21

What is Biblical Worship? Is it a scheduled gathering of the church? Is it the time when we sing songs together as a church family? How does God's Word define what we call worship? In this message, our pastor uses Ephesians 5:18-21 to give a biblical definition of worship.

A message from Ephesians 5:22-6:4.

Look at the erosion of the home in our culture — dysfunctional marriages, dysfunctional parenting, etc. But there is hope! When you do things God’s way, you get God’s intended results. In this sermon, Pastor Zach takes a deep dive into what God intended your home to look like.

In the Third and final part of the series A Match Made in Heaven, guest speaker Pastor Stephen Pope reveals the nature of marriage in describing the concept of One Flesh. That men and women become “one flesh” suggests an exchange of soul and indicates something of the psychological depth of the marital union. Marriage ideally produces two people who are as much the same person as two people can be -- Christians in marriage have the same Lord, the same family, the same children, the same future and the same destiny.

In Part 2 of the series A Match Made in Heaven, Pastor Zach Pope describes the role of the Christ-like husband. Ephesians 5:25-30. Paul's letter to the church at Ephesis addresses a number of questions about the nature of the husband's relationship to the wife. The overall theme emphasizes that life decisions need not be difficult and complicated for followers of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Indeed, life is much clearer with the guidelines of Jesus.

In this portion of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, note his challenge to married couples. An all-wise, loving God originated marriage and so He can tell us how He designed it and how we must live in it if we want His blessing. In Part 1 of the series A Match Made in Heaven, Pastor Zach Pope describes the role of the Christ-like wife.

John 21:1-22 | Guest Speaker: Tyler King

While Jesus' followers abandoned Him on His darkest day, He continued to provide for them, continued to care for them, and once again, extended His call to them. Jesus is the "same yesterday and forever"... He still provides. He still cares. He still calls.

Ephesians 5:1-10

The word “followers” means “an imitator, one who follows an example, to mimic”. Why do overcomplicate what God has made so simple? Someone says, "I’m really struggling in my life right now, what should I do? Listen to God’s voice, see how God lived His life, follow his commands+example." The problem for many of us, is that we want to do things our way in stead of God’s way and still expect to live the victorious Christian life. It won’t work! Paul says if you want to live pleasing lives to God, follow His example, imitate his life, mimic His actions!

Ephesians 4:17-32

At Haven, we’re not trying to create an environment that feels like just another cool venue to attend, we want to establish an environment where, as people respond to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, they feel as if they have joined up with a family… and not an average family where selfishness and anger and bitterness rule the day—rather, a family that loves, forgives, serves, and cares for one another! How do we do that? In Ephesians 4, Paul gives the church some practical principles to implement as a church to shape a environment where we can say with confidence as they walk through the door: “YOU BELONG”!
