    Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:17-32

    How does change happen in the Christian Life? Paul in Ephesians 4 says it involves a putting off and a putting on. But what’s so encouraging is that the life you are putting on actually is the life that fits the person who is united to Christ. It’s a life of truth, kindness, generosity, and forgiveness.

      Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:1-16

      You don’t have to be a philosophy major to understand how complicated the problem of the “one and the many” is for even daily life. But Paul launches straight into the topic of Christian unity in Ephesians 4, making it a top priority for God’s people to work towards if we hope to be a maturing church.

        Scripture Reference: Psalm 46:1-11

        When life gets turned upside down, we have a God who is a mighty refuge. In the midst of crisis we can rely on a strong God because He became weak and a present God because He was forsaken.

          Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:14-21

          What do you think the Apostle Paul would pray if you could hear him offer a prayer for you? The end of Ephesians 3 is just that. What he gives us, therefore, is the idealized version of how every Christian should live their lives, especially as it pertains to how love transforms our “inner world.”

            Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:1-13

            Add the wonder of Paul’s description of the church in God’s eternal plan together with the immensity of the blessings afforded to those “in Christ,” and Paul realizes that he has something that people need to know. The first half of Ephesians 3 is highly instructive of an evangelism that isn’t packaged but full of joy.

              Scripture Reference: Ephesians 2:1-10

              Having set out that heaven and earth will be reunited through God’s work through the church, Paul turns to how the world will be healed in YOU, a Christian. Turns out, he has to animate the “bad news” of the Gospel before we can really understand the “good news” of his grace, to be in union with Christ!

              • Unlocking The Mystery: What Is Most Needed? | Brian Sorgenfrei
                Launch Sermon Player

                Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1:15-23

                As the apostle Paul writes his letter to the Ephesian church, he is overwhelmed with gratitude and tells them how he is praying for them. In Paul’s prayer we see the unlocking of a mystery. What is most needed in all of our lives is NOT necessarily a chance in circumstances. No, what is most needed is to have the eyes of our heart enlightened so that we live according to what is unseen but real.

                  Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1:4,5,11

                  Watch lovers speak to each other and invariably the talk turns to other-worldly themes. We instinctively know that we were made to be loved outside of time. Paul is excited to say that a huge blessing of being “in Christ” is the knowledge that it was true before we were ever born.

                    Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1:3-14

                    The more overwhelming the site you’re describing, the more words you’ll throw at it to try to sum it up to those who’ll listen. Paul sits down to contemplate the blessings God’s people have in Christ and what follows is a litany of keywords about the Christian’s spiritual status in one long run-on sentence of pure joy.
