The Freedom of Being Enough
What if we really are enough? What if Jesus has so qualified us, and so accepted us, that we no longer have to look to this world for an indication of our worth and value? What would it mean for our daily lives to stand in this truth? This week Krystle Morris explores what it means to be fully measured and fully accepted in Christ, and how standing in His truth can change our everyday moments.
We Get to Carry Eachother
What is the difference between the old covenant and new covenant commandments? How do we fulfill one of the most important commands in the New Testament, and what does that look like? This week's teaching reminds us who we are, and how we were made to live; loving God, and loving others.
Jesus and His Church - Ephesians 1:22-23
For centuries, our understanding about the concept of church and what it is has revolved around a building or place to visit in order to worship God. But this was not the original idea of church. Instead, church is a gathering of called out people that share the life of Jesus with one another and with a hurting and lost world. Discover what that means and how it impacts how we invite people to ‘church’ as Ross explores Ephesians 1:22-23.
The Majesty of Jesus - Ephesians 1:20-22
Recognizing and rejoicing in the majesty of Jesus will lead us into a deeper appreciation for His love for us. Not only is Jesus the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, He is also our High Priest. He has built a bridge to represent man to God and God to man. Join Ross as explores Ephesians 1:20-22 and the supremacy of King Jesus.
How God solved my problems
As we move through our days trying to be better, we are plagued with three major problems: a Needs problem, an Inner Standard problem, and a Personal Commentary problem. Learn about God's perfect, permanent solution.
What Great Power - Ephesians 1:19
“Life is hard” is one of those obvious statements, you might as well be saying “water is wet!” Trials and difficulties are an inevitable part of all of our lives—that’s just a reality. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that they can often be overwhelming. As we continue our study in the book of Ephesians, we see a beautiful reminder from Paul, that we have an incomparable power available to us as we face these struggles. In Ephesians 1:19, Paul tells us about the surpassing greatness of God’s power that is a present tense power. It’s not a power to distract us from our stuff, but a power that meets us in the middle of our insecurities, shame, anxieties, depression, illnesses, disappointments, hurts and frustrations. It’s the same power that conquered the grave and raised Jesus from the dead.
What God Wanted - Ephesians 1:17-18
What motivated Jesus to leave Heaven, lay down His rights, suffer on the cross and die? Why would He ever willingly choose to experience that? Because He loves you. God wanted to have an inheritance, a possession, a treasure that is His saints.
Join Ross as he shares from Ephesians 1:17-18 about the perfect love of God that He has towards us.
The Hope of Our Calling - Ephesians 1:17-18
Jesus warns us of the game plan of our enemy. It is a plan to steal, kill and destroy. And while there are many ways in which that plan is executed, one of the most effective attacks is to take away hope. Because when one loses hope, everything else begins to crumble around it.
But Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly. He came to restore our hope. A hope that is not just for after we die, but a hope that will allow us to face each day, each struggle, each problem with a resolve and a strength that overcomes.
Join Ross as he looks at Ephesians 1:17-18 and we discover why Jesus and the cross is the hope of our calling.
Remember and Receive the Resurrection
If you forget to breathe, its not a problem until you're under water and you cannot. Sometimes when we're going through a tough time we also forget the significance of the resurrection and how it speaks to our present circumstances. A look at Luke 24: 1-18, helps us see how gracious Jesus is - even when we forget the most important thing.
Signed, Sealed and Delivered - Ephesians 1:11-14
God has created a plan for us that we will bring glory to His name. But what does it mean for us to glorify God? How do we do that? What does it take? Join Ross as he examines Ephesians 1:11-14 and shares how God has given us a down payment on our inheritance in the person of the Holy Spirit. And it is by trusting in the Holy Spirit living through us that glorifies God.
