2024-09-01: Guest Speaker Pastor Rob Byker – Ephesians 1:15-19a – Knowing God Better
Bible teacher D.A Carson says, “Nothing is more important in God’s universe….than knowing God
better.” We know the church in Ephesus faced a cluster of problems. There were problems between
Jews and Gentiles. There were concerns about immoral behaviors and troubled marriages. And alarming misunderstandings about spiritual warfare. But Paul’s first prayer is not about any of these things. Instead, he prays that the Ephesians will know God better. Knowing God better….knowing His plans for us, His love for us, and His power for us actually helps us face all the other problems. This is why knowing God is the highest priority of every Christian.
