Hollyview Church

In this chapter we are encouraged to walk to the sound of the gospel music in something like a dance with each other. Paul has encouraged us to be unified and yet still hold to the unique gifting and calling the Lord has for us. With this unity in diversity, sometimes we will step on each others toes and begin dancing to the song of anger or hurt. Paul encourages us to dance to the gospel!

The battle between the goal of self-actualization or humble self-sacrifice. The world encourages one and the gospel displays the other.

God's revealed mission for the church is a beautiful kaleidoscope of people living together in unity from every tongue, tribe, and nation!

Paul wants to wake the believers up from death to life by God's grace and from hostility to peace by the Spirit. He wants to wake us up to this new creation we are and the community we are in!

Paul would trade everything for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. He begins his letter with communicating to the believers the worth of the Story of God and the prayer of worth to have the eyes of their hearts enlightened to the hope, inheritance and power of the gospel!

This introductory message to the book of Ephesians gives background information on the book, it's writer and context before considering the themes and truth presenting in the first few verses. We were chosen "in Christ"!

The conclusion of the book of Psalm invites us to Praise the Lord! For multiple reasons from creation to his goodness, we are brought to respond in Praise! This message is told through each Psalm and testimonies from people at Hollyview.

We take a look at one of the Psalms in the collection of Psalms known as the Psalms of Ascent. Who can ascend the hill of the Lord and who can stand in his holy place? There is one who is worthy, the King of Glory!

Psalm 115 is found within a collection of Psalms known as the 'Hallel' Psalms meaning to praise. This Psalm suggests humans have been made as something like an angled mirror. What you put your trust in has a huge impact on what you become and what you reflect.

This Psalm gives us a different perspective on how we engage in the future by reaching back to what you know and have experienced. We consider 4 mountains mentioned in this Psalm as we remember how God has moved and worked in the past! When you face the unknown of the future, turn your eyes to the Lord and his faithfulness in the past.
