1. Called by God’s Will

2. Called for God’s Purpose

3. Called in God’s Grace

Today's sermon introduced us to the book of Ephesians, aptly called "The Believer's Bank" or "The Christian's Checkbook." We explored the concept of true riches in Christ, contrasting it with worldly wealth. Pastor Steve emphasized that as believers, we have access to unfathomable spiritual riches through our relationship with Jesus Christ. This truth has profound implications for how we view our identity, purpose, and daily walk with God.

Takeaways:

- We are called by God's will: Just as Paul was called as an apostle, we too are called to be ambassadors for Christ in our everyday lives.

- We are called for God's purpose: As saints in Christ, we are set apart to encourage others, bear one another's burdens, and minister the Gospel in our spheres of influence.

- We are called in God's grace: Our standing before God is not based on our good deeds but on His unmerited favor, which gives us hope and peace in all circumstances.

As we continue this series, let's be encouraged to dive deep into the book of Ephesians. Let's challenge ourselves to fully grasp and live out the spiritual wealth we have in Christ. Remember, no matter what storms we face, if Jesus is in our boat, we will not sink!

May God's grace and peace be with you all.
