Paul writes to the Church in Ephesus telling them "for this reason", that is Jesus Christ, he gave thanks for all the saints there. The church must be made up of saints who believe that all that we do is for the reason for which Christ came and died -- the glory of God.

Being a Christian is the most serious of things. Churches everywhere are filled with those who consider their Christianity an extracurricular activity. But Christ paid an eternal price for the souls of his people. We should delight in him, which moves us past just knowing him.

We are all plagued with fears of varying types, but Jesus tells us not to worry or be anxious. Learning to trust in his work and his promises is the key to shacking off the bonds of debilitating fear, allowing us to enjoy a rich life with Christ.

Every single human being is an image-bearer of God and was designed to find their identity in him. As broken people, we find our identity in the things we've done to ourselves and the things done to us. Jesus gives us a new identify if we come to him in faith.

There are a variety of circumstances that contribute to depression and loneliness. Some are a result of our sin; others are a result of the effects of sin in the world. Both hurt. Jesus knows what it means to mourn and experience loneliness. But he is a king who will make all things new and we can find hope in that.

The Gospel is about God restoring his broken children so that they can enjoy a right relationship with him. Parenting is an earthly demonstration of this truth, and we need to look to Jesus not only for the grace to love our children well, but to also trust that he is ultimately responsible for their souls.
