February 11, 2026Ephesians 1:7-8 – Lavished with Riches
Welcome to Episode 4 of our Ephesians podcast series. In this episode, David Christensen explores Ephesians 1:7-8, where Paul proclaims the staggering truth that in Christ we have been redeemed, forgiven, and lavishly enriched by God’s grace.
Redemption is more than relief from guilt; it is release from bondage. Forgiveness is more than a feeling; it is the cancellation of an unpayable debt. Paul tells us that both come “according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished on us.”
This episode invites listeners to move beyond striving and self‑effort and into the joy of receiving what God delights to give. God is not a miser with grace. He gives extravagantly, generously, and permanently, so that His children can live free, secure, and joyful in Christ.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What redemption truly means and how Christ’s blood releases us from lifelong guilt
Why forgiveness is a legal reality, not an emotional one
How God cancels our debt without compromising His justice
What it means to be forgiven forever, not conditionally
Why God takes pleasure in our pleasure when we enjoy His grace
If you struggle with shame, unworthiness, or the feeling that you must earn God’s approval, this episode offers deep comfort and lasting freedom. The Father wants His children to enjoy His grace.

February 04, 2026Ephesians 1:5–6 – Loved in the Loved One
Welcome to Episode 3 of our Ephesians podcast series — “Ephesians 1:5–6: Loved in the Loved One.” In this episode, David Christensen continues Paul’s breathtaking opening sentence by addressing one of Scripture’s most discussed themes: predestination, not as a cold doctrine, but as a loving, purposeful, and deeply relational work of God the Father.
Paul teaches that in love, God predestined us to adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, and to the praise of the glory of His grace. Far from removing human responsibility, this passage reveals how God lovingly persuades rather than coerces, drawing us to Himself without violating our will.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why love is the foundation of predestination, not fear, force, or fate
How adoption is the goal of God’s eternal plan, granting believers full sonship and security
Why fatherhood is the pleasure of predestination, revealing God’s relational heart
How all of this leads to joyful praise, not controversy or pride
Why your truest identity is this: “I am the one the Father loves.”
This message offers profound comfort for believers struggling with worth, identity, and assurance, anchoring our lives not in what we achieve, but in what God has graciously done for us in Christ.

January 28, 2026Ephesians 1:4 – Picked by God
Welcome to Episode 2 of our Ephesians series — “Ephesians 1:4: Picked by God.” Pastor David Christensen explores Paul’s claim that the Father chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world so that we would be holy and blameless before Him, a truth meant to comfort believers and anchor our identity and security.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why God’s choice precedes and defines our choice and how Scripture holds together human responsibility and divine sovereignty without contradiction (“antinomy”).
Three memorable anchors: (1) God chose you. (2) You chose God. (3) God’s choice led to your choice.
How being picked by God reshapes your significance and security in Christ, even when circumstances are hard.
Why the purpose of election is holiness, and how sanctification is the process of making our practice match our position in Christ.
The hope of restoration: when we repent, God forgives, cleanses, and invites us to serve again.
