Matt Reynolds :: Ephesians Ch 6 Pt 1 What Have I Gotten Myself Into? :: 08.08.10

As our study in Ephesians is coming to a close, I can’t help but to compare the end of this letter with how other stories often finish. Some movies, for example, come together slowly and neatly, with everyone knowing exactly how the story will end. My favorite movies however, are those that having a massive finish. They end with a bang, a twist, or a complete reorientation of what everyone was expecting, and that’s just the way the letter to Ephesus ends! After Paul has described what our practical relationships should look like in the Kingdom of God, the letter could have wrapped up nicely with a few parting good-byes and a prayer. Instead, we are left with an intense command to “wake up” to the spiritual battle that we all find ourselves in because the forces of darkness will not go down without a fight. This Sunday we will talk about what spiritual warfare is all about and how we are to respond when under attack.

Brian Burchik :: Who Am I? Pt. 2 :: 04.18.10

How many Christ followers want to have a great impact, yet can not seem to get past themselves? How many have huge dreams of changing the world, but are trapped in the prison of their own pride or insecurity?  Last week, Matt opened up a study on the book of Ephesians, exploring how we are to live in our true, God-given identities. This Sunday, I’m excited to build off last week’s teaching, as we consider how to live a life full of “identity encounters.”  Being sure of our identity in Christ is so central to living a fruitful Kingdom life that we are going to spend this week continuing to explore that question: “Who am I?” Hearing God’s answer to this question brings the power we need to overcome the obstacles in the way of the great impact God has called us to have.
