2 Corinthians

• 21:27Ephesians 1

  Ephesians 1, 3 says that in Christ, God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavens. There is not a single blessing that God withheld from us, right? It's not that he said, I'm going to save you from your sins, but…

Asking for a Friend

• 8:35Ephesians 1

  Now the Greek word, ekklesia, used 114 times roughly in the New Testament, means an assembly. Assembly of believers. It also could just name the corporate, the people of God in general. Matthew 16, 18, where Jesus says, upon this rock I will build my church. I will build my ekklesia. The gathering of my people. Ephesians 1, 22 says the same thing. Ephesians 5, 25 says the same.

Who's Your King

• 23:15Ephesians 1

  I believe that knowing the Lord hears is enough to remind us of who we are in him. Knowing that God hears our prayers should be enough to remind us of who we are. That's exactly what Ephesians says. Ephesians 1 chapter 5. It says that the Lord hears you because in Christ he has adopted us as sons and daughters for himself according to his good pleasure. Church, knowing that God hears our prayers should be enough to jog our…

Hidden Revealed

• 14:52Ephesians 1

  It's a reminder that God's grace is freely given, but that invitation has to be accepted. The Lamb's army were chosen, but we must accept. Verse 5 of Ephesians 1. And Yahweh chose you to be adopted as sons and daughters to the praise of His glorious grace. Eternal life is an invitation that must be accepted. John 3, verse 6 of Ephesians 1. He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes, that's accepting the invitation, isn't it?

From Death to Life

• 3:03Ephesians 1:3

  It's a series we call Death to Life. And the epistle of Ephesians is a reminder that we need to live out our faith. So, just quickly look at Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3. See, Ephesians is in the New Testament. This is how it begins. This is how our journey began a couple months ago. In verse 3 of Ephesians 1, blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who blessed us with every spiritual blessing.

• 3:15Ephesians 1

  In verse 3 of Ephesians 1, blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Stop. If you've given your life to Christ, how many spiritual blessings has God given you? There's not a single blessing that you do not have access to in Jesus. In the heavens and in Christ, He chose us in Him before the foundations of the world to be holy and blameless in love before Him.

From Death to Life

• 2:08Ephesians 1

  …for preaching and doing a fantastic job. I was going to join the church again online last week as I was watching. We're going to continue to worship through the book of Ephesians. If you have your Bibles, join me in Ephesians chapter 1 again today. We're going to look at prayer. And maybe you've asked the question or maybe you've felt the question and didn't want to ask because you feel like you can't ask the question in church because you'll feel…

• 3:52Ephesians 1

  …you want? Sometimes we think prayer is, Lord, give me or we need. But what if prayer is who you are and what God is making you rather than what you want? You see, your prayers matter. And we're going to see that in Ephesians 1. So join me as I read verse 15 of Ephesians. Again, if you want to know how to remember it, General Electric Power Company in the New Testament. Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians.

From Death to Life

• 15:20Ephesians 1

  Think about Deuteronomy seven, where God tells Israel this truth. He says, the Lord has set his heart upon you and he chose you. Does that language sound familiar? Ephesians 1, 4. Not because. And so if you're thinking God chose me. This is what God says to Israel in Deuteronomy. God didn't choose you because you were numerous than all the people, but because you were the fewest.

Troubled Heart

• 25:21Ephesians 1

  And to the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia. Ephesians chapter 1. To the faithful saints, plural, in Jesus Christ at Ephesus. I can keep going. Colossians 1, verse 2. To the saints in Christ at Colossae. Listen, your faith was never meant to only stop with you. This is a we experience.

Troubled Heart

• 37:51Ephesians 1:7

  The price was set and the price was paid. And his name is Jesus Christ, the only son of the Father. Ephesians 1.7 says, In him, in Jesus, we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of his grace. I don't know how rich God's grace is, but I know I can't count that high.

UNDEFEATED

• 16:18Ephesians 1

  And their past and their future was in the hands of God alone. That he was at work before they were even born through their father, Abraham. So does this sound familiar? Believer, does this sound familiar? How about Ephesians 1, verse 3? That says, Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

• 17:18Ephesians 1

  and this is big right here. According to the good pleasure of his will to the praise of his glorious grace. For the believer, just as God took Abraham, God has taken you from the grips of sin and it is not by anything you have done. But why did he do this? Verse 5 of Ephesians 1, By the pleasure, according to the pleasure

Faith Over Fear

• 13:49Ephesians 1:3–6

  In Ephesians chapter 1, verses 3 through 6, say this, Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens in Christ. For He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before Him. He predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Acts

• 38:27Ephesians 1

  Yes, is the right hand. So he ascends into heaven. And what is Jesus doing at that point? Ephesians 1 tells us that Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God. But Stephen sees Jesus not sitting, but standing. And this has perplexed scholars. I mean, a lot of things perplexed scholars, but this is one of them. They…

Missing Christmas

• 23:54Ephesians 1:5

  …a world that says you are what you feel. And that is not the truth. So no matter what you call yourself, feelings are fleeting and they are not the source of absolute truth. Here's the source of truth. Listen to what Ephesians 1.5 says. If you can't grasp anything else, listen to this truth. Ephesians 1 verse 5. God predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ for himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

  irresistible call to a relevant master makes me have running in my feet it's positional because verse 17 says blessed and when you say blessed you're talking about who you are and not what you just hope to be it echoes when you look at it in Ephesians 1 3 you're blessed in heavenly places with all spiritual blessings today it's not in the sweet by and by and Jesus does not sleep on the milky way he's calling you to personal

Genesis (Foundations)

• 36:04Ephesians 1:5

  It says this in Ephesians 1.5, that Jesus has adopted us through Jesus Christ himself according to his favor and will. 1 John 3.1 says, look how great a love the father has given for us that we should be called his children. And that is what we are. The reason that the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Are you ruling well this morning?

  …give to that and be a part of that or we can adopt or we can foster. We can resolve this issue here in America and more locally right here in St. Clair County. If you brought your Bible, turn with me quickly to Ephesians chapter one. I will not lament very long. I do have a few things I want to encourage you in the word today. Ephesians chapter one, beginning with the fourth verse. And the Bible says this, even before he made the word, God loved us…

  …He knows every sparrow. He knows everything. And surely He knows our name. Amen? It's because we are not orphans of God. So today, as we unpack this word grace and we unpack the word adoption, I took the text from Ephesians chapter 1. And I will go to that text in a moment. But I think I should set us up a little bit in understanding what Ephesians is all about. And it's a phenomenal,

  …fulfilled in time present will be continued fulfilled for all of eternity. So I think we needed to have some foundational truth there to help us understand this entire process called adoption. I draw our attention to Ephesians chapter 1 beginning with the fourth verse through the eighth verse. I'm going to read the New Living Translation version. I'm going to refer back to New American Standard from time to time, but I'm going to give you the New…

  …I want to talk to you today about being redeemed. I want to remind us of this beautiful, wonderful passage in scripture that helps us understand that we are redeemed by His blood. Now I want you to turn with me to Ephesians chapter 1, verse 7 through 12. And I want us to unpack this and then I'm going to give you some background history on this

• 3:02Ephesians 1

  And I want us to unpack this and then I'm going to give you some background history on this and help us maybe be reminded of us, you biblical scholars out there, that we are indeed redeemed by His blood. Ephesians chapter 1, beginning with the 7th verse through the 12th verse. In Him, we have, underline this, redemption through His blood. The forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of His grace. In which, I love this line, in…
