In a world where there's so much injustice, some wonder, "How can a good God allow this? Why didn't He do something to stop it?" God did not passively sit by, but rather He came. He came as a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. He lived as we live as He Himself became a victim of injustice. We celebrate the fact that He Came.

Jesus came to tear down all dividing walls between man and God. The church now has a radical calling to be one people, united through his spirit pressing forward in love.

When Jesus came on the scene, He ushered in a new era where the dwelling place of God would now be in a people. Paul writes in the second part of Ephesians 2 that it's God's desire to build His people into a spiritual house where He dwells. This message attempts to explain this transition and unpack the implications of this phenomenal…
At the end of Chapter 1, Paul has given us a glimpse of the resurrected Jesus taking His seat on the throne as the conquering King. But what does that mean for us?

Brought from death to life, we are joined with Jesus, and His grace empowers us to live a new life today and into…

In the second half of Ephesians chapter 1, Paul's prayer for us is that we would have a revelation of who God is. This message attempts to explain that our greatest need is that we need God and not stuff.
