Word of Hope Christian Church Podcast

The passage we’ll be studying today, Eph 2:11-22. The main idea we’ll addressing is that because of our union with Christ, our differences are put to death so we can live in community with one another. To do that we should strongly consider three key points which we’ll talk about along with some suggestion on how put this all into practice. Thanks for listening. God bless you! And a happy and blessed Christmas to you and yours! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Today and next week we’ll be talking about A New Commandment. In Part 1 we’ll discover that true knowledge of God means living in His light, demonstrated by practicing the “old yet new” commandment to love one another as Christ loved us, which contrasts sharply with the world’s selfish desires (lust of the flesh, eyes and pride). We’ll also discover that John wrote as a father to his spiritual children, distinguishing between growing believers who love their brothers and “little children” who still need reassurance, warning against loving the world’s ways over God's eternal truth.

The passage we’ll be studying today, Eph 2:1-10. This passage contrasts our past spiritual death with our new life in Christ, emphasizing that salvation is a free gift, making believers God’s handiwork designed for good deeds. Let’s talk about it!

Today is a very short study but it’s full of great nuggets of truth. Genuine believers not only commit themselves to obeying God, but they also have deep and sincere love for fellow believers. The Christian principle of love is “new” because believers’ ability to love one another is motivated by their love for Christ, who first loved them. Thanks for listening. God bless you!

Today we’ll learn that Paul prayed that believers would grow to know God better. He began in verses 15-16 by giving thanks to God for the Ephesian believers strong faith and love for others. Then in verses 17-23 he prayed that they (and we) would grow in their faith and love for others by understanding 3 key things. Let’s find out what they are. Thanks for listening. God bless you!

It’s great to be back with you after the Christmas break. In the last study we completed the Gospel of John. Today, we continue with the writings of the Apostle John with the book of 1 John. In his Gospel, John proclaimed that Jesus, the “light of the world” had come to illuminate truth and to lead men and women to God. Here in 1 John, John urges all to forsake darkness and live in the light. Do you yearn for direction in life? Follow the light. Do you doubt and wonder what’s real? Turn on His light. Do you stumble and fall? Walk in the light. As we study 1 John let us all be encouraged that our Light (Jesus) has come—let it shine! Thanks for listening. God bless you!

2026 has finally arrived and it’s important for us to begin with a solid foundation. So, to help us do that we’re beginning a new sermon series in the book of Ephesians called: Getting back to Basics. To start things off today’s message is titled Blessings from God and we’ll be looking at Eph 1:1-14. This passage is a powerful declaration of God’s gracious plan of salvation in Christ, revealing that believers are chosen, adopted, redeemed and sealed with the Holy Spirit before creation for His praise.
