When it comes to our circumstances, we have a greater power that we can tap into and rise above. Let that be the hope you carry with you today, no matter what you face.

Today we pray what the Apostle Paul prayed, for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. God will give you wisdom beyond knowledge, revelation beyond reason.

One of the great themes of the book of Ephesians is that we are greatly loved people. Today we’ll explore how people live when they know how much they are loved.

We are sealed and approved into the beloved by the one who has all authority on heaven and earth. Let us keep in step with the gracious gift of the Holy Spirit in our discipleship to Jesus.

You were created for a purpose, and that purpose has been put into action. It doesn’t matter what happened in your life or others before you. Your destiny and mine are confidently wrapped in the security of this truth.

You are the image of God. You are the righteousness of Christ. You are the apple of God’s eye. You are God’s workmanship. You are God’s signet ring. You are more than a conqueror.

Today we explore the concepts of predestination and adoption in relation to God's identity and mission for his people right now. Predestination is about the benefits, privileges, and blessings that God determines to give to all who become His children by faith in Jesus, being chosen communally and predestined missionally.

Ephesians 1:3-4 tells us we are chosen, but what are we chosen for? To be holy. When God’s Word regards something as holy, it means that it is something that has been set apart for special use by the Lord. Let that be true for us in this season also; this year of discouragement, this season of loss. Let our lives tell a story of hope.

We kick off a new series, a new season. It’s Heaven on Earth. We’re going to spend twelve weeks in the book of Ephesians. Our team will share a daily prompt as we go verse-by-verse through this book. God is shifting us from a weekly mindset to a DAILY RHYTHM.

Paul begins all thirteen of his epistles with the same salutation — grace and peace. If you missed the message this weekend, we talked about an extra message of grace. The challenge today is pretty simple: pass the peace.
