9 Rooted and Established in Love Ephesians 3:14-21

I'm watching families, sometimes you know married couples, that are struggling and there are these breaches in the relationship and all I can say is: that's the work of the enemy. I see breaches between children and their parents and even in Christian families. That's the work of the enemy. I see breaches in families over money, of all things, stuff that won't last, stuff that doesn't matter in the larger picture. Doesn't matter nearly as much as relationships but people, when their family dies, will then fight over money. 
Churches have problems, ministries have problems, cultures have problems, raceshave problems with one another. Even countries have problems with one another. 
I want to share with you that all these things are evidence of activity not of God, but it Satan himself. One of the problems that I think sometimes we struggle with, is that we get caught in the flesh and blood battle and we forget that God, his design through Christ on the cross, was not just to forgive us of our sins and have peace with him, but he wants to establish peace across the board. He wants to break down barriers, he wants to divide to break down these dividing walls of hostility and because of Christ, the Bible says that he's able to make it possible, and made it possible because of the cross.

8 The Mystery of Christ Ephes 3:1-13

I want to tell you that you have a God ordained appointment and this is one of the beautiful things about the Apostle Paul is that he recognized that the condition of his life and the situation's he was facing he's imprisoned by the way and in the writing of this letter he under house-arrest all of his privileges are stripped away and he's awaiting trial with almost a certain death sentence that's awaiting him and in the midst of this he's got this sense of I'm right in the middle of the will of God and he blossoms and he produces fruit for the glory of God right where he is.

7. Outsiders No More | Ephesians 2:11-22

This gift that we've got of eternal life is from Christ and it's a gift by grace. There is nothing that we could do to earn it, or to achieve it, or to merit it or to maintain it. It's all from God.  Now Paul is going to tell us and remind us about what we were like before all of this goodness from God came to us in the person of Jesus Christ.

6. Back From the Dead | Ephesians 2:1-10

In Revelation, it tells us that he will open that scroll. That scroll is the title deed to the world and God in Christ is going to redeem it. Thank God, and it's going to happen and we're not very far away, and if your vision of heaven is fat cherubs playing harps on clouds in heaven, that's wrong because the Bible says that we're going to have a new heaven and a new earth, a recreated heaven a recreated earth, and we're going to live here, we're going to recognize each other, we're going to have work to do, we're going to have the most fulfilling and satisfying and gratifying life that you can ever imagine, and the gratification and the joy and the abundance will never ever end, it will never become boring, it will never become stale, it will be the most amazing life! It's the life you've always imagine possible but could never quite experience. That's the light, that's coming, in the meantime God has raised us up and he said you're my citizens, you're my kingdom, there's a there's a king and a kingdom and a citizenry. We're the citizenry of that kingdom and God has already positioned us in this high and lofty way telling us these things. And for a very brief period of time, because life goes by fast. I know if you're younger you think it's just crawling but as you get older it like picks up speed very quickly, but it goes by very quickly and then we're going to be a part of this eternal Kingdom. For now, we have the opportunity, as a representative of Jesus Christ, to tell other people about this incredible opportunity to have relationship with God.

5. The Prayer of a Disciple Maker Ephesians 1:15-23

The Holy Spirit has been given to us by God. We got into the boat of the kingdom ofGod by simply hearing the word and then believing the message. That's all that's required and when a person hears the Word, the gospel of salvation that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins was buried and rose three days later in the power of the Spirit. That simple message, if a person is willing to receive that and repent of their sins and make him the Lord of their life, that person is saved and what that means is that they are in Christ and so being in Christ is a very simple matter. It's life changing experience, but it's a very simple matter of simply hearing the Bible, the gospel believing the message and then responding to it.

4.Signed, Sealed and Delivered | Ephesians 1:13-14

The role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Paul says that anyone who is in Christ is considered a saint set apart for God for very special purposes. As we've been exploring over these last few weeks:  to be not just the friend of God but the Bride of Christ himself and as a result, it says that Paul tells us that God has chosen us for this role.  This is collective but also personal for each person here, you were chosen by God, you were predestined by God, you were accepted by God, you've been redeemed by God, forgiven by God, and because of these things, he has poured out his heart and dealing the mystery of his will to you in Christ Jesus.  And then, if that weren't enough, he gives us an inheritance in Christ and in essence whatever belongs to Christ now belongs to the believer and the church and the bride because this isn't a prenuptial agreement with Jesus Christ, we go in and we get everything that belongs to him and everything that we are belongs to us.

3. Appointed For His Glory: Ephesians 1:7-12

Ephesians chapter 1 we're going to be looking specifically at verses 7 through 12 but to get the context I want to begin at the beginning, and we'll read through verse 14. I've entitled the message "Appointed For His Glory"
When we come across a passage like this, if I didn't know better and I didn't know Christ and I hadn't been walking with a lord so long, I'd say could this possibly be true is what Paul is saying in this passage? Is this even remotely possible that God would, for people like us and you know what you're like I know what I'm like, he would be so generous and so kind and so rich in his in his pouring out toward those that call on his name. yet, we find that Paul in this explosion of praise for God and a revelation to the Church of this kindness of God he Maps for a sum not all but some of the blessings that God has given us and so we've talked about the fact that all of these blessings find their origin in God the Father who the Bible tells us chose us and he chose us to be holy and without blame before him in love and he predestined us to receive adoptions as sons and daughters of God and he accepted us in Christ.

2 Loved Chosen and Accepted: Ephesians 1:3-6

Everything you've ever wanted and ever longed for is found in the person of Jesus Christ: your spouse is an extension an allegory a foreshadowing of that, but your spouse can't provide what only Jesus Christ can provide. So, Paul lays out this incredible gift that God has given to us, and this love that he offers, and it's a love letter to us, and he and he puts it out there for us. He's not shy, he's not, he's not holding back, he's not illusive. No, he just lays it all out there and says what you want and what you're looking for and what your soul in your heart so desperately desire is going to be found, not in a spouse or in a career choice or a new hobbies, or a new girlfriend, or a new boyfriend, or a different husband or a different wife, but it's going to be found in the person of Jesus Christ and the sooner we accept that the sooner we will find ourself at peace the sooner we will find ourself fulfilled and the sooner we will find us successful in the other relationships that God allows us to experience in life.
