Our world is longing for unity, but we find ourselves constantly divided and bickering! Our world also wants us to major on our differences rather than what makes one. The only way to find true unity and peace is by understanding our nature as human beings, dead in sin and needing to be made alive in Jesus Christ. The unity our world desperately hopes for can only be found by following Jesus!

As Paul continues his letter to the Ephesians he reminds the church, and us today, of our status without Jesus. We're dead and only Jesus can make us alive through his grace and mercy. Only when we understand our dire need can we truly appreciate God's amazing grace and love!

We continue to unpack the book of Ephesians by seeing what Paul prays for the Christians in Ephesus and thinking about how this applies to us today.

Paul gives thanks for their faith that produces love. And prays that they would truly know God and especially God's power.

In this talk, we begin our series leading all the way up to Easter working our way through the book of Ephesians. We are created not to become famous, but to make God famous for what He's done for us.

Every year as we start the new year we get a psychological kick out of the fresh start each new year brings. What should Christians do with that? How should we plan and think about our New Year resolutions? This talk won't give you the answers but it will give you a framework for thinking about life in the new year.

In our final week on identity, we thought about what the scriptures teach us about our ultimate destination as human beings awaiting the resurrection to eternal life. How does our hope of living with Jesus in the new heavens and new earth shape our understanding of who we are and how we should live now?

As we continue to think about our identity this week we look at how God sent Jesus to rescue us from the curse of sin and death. This aspect of our identity is vital as in Christ we can only truly be who God created us to be.

When answering the question, Who am I? We need to get the full picture. Not just all that is good which we covered in week 1 (made in God's image), but also the bad news... we are ruined by sin and our world lives under a curse. But it's only once we come to the good and the bad of reality that we can truly live as we were created to live.

We begin a series investigating the question, "Who am I?".

In this talk, we take a look at what God says about our identity when he made us in Genesis 1. Fundamental to being human is being made in his image (reflection). We were made for a relationship with God and to bring order to our world.

Paul rounds out his letter to the Colossian church by calling the church to be devoted to prayer, mindful of Jesus' return, and asking for God to open up opportunities for the gospel to be shared. He also gives them some advice on how to be wise witnesses to the good news about Jesus to the world in which they live.
