MORE - Ephesians - Introduction : 19 Sep 2013

You may be saying at this point: “Do I really want to follow you into Ephesians????” YES!

Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved—

The book of Ephesians: Rethink Possible. Its message: we crave more because we were created for more. We experience less because sin entered this world and our hearts. And when it did we were cut off from God. Unless reunited we will experience less and less… come apart completely.

Central message of Ephesians is that God has made and revealed His way to give us what we long for by bringing us back to Himself.

Ephesians 1:9-10 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. Unite us to His plan, fill us with the passion and purpose for which we were created.
