Sacred Community
The church can often be a place plagued by scandals and division. For outsiders the church can seem like a place full of hypocrisy and greed. But what is God's vision for His church? The Book of Ephesians shows us how the church is a sacred people, His beautiful yet flawed bride, that is diverse yet united, Spirit Filled and overflowing with love.
Sermon Title: The Body of Christ | Ephesians 4:1-16
The church on earth can often lose it's identity and drift into a corporate spirit or become as divided as the surrounding world. God's call for the church is to remember it's calling and live as a united community of grace, truth and love.
Sermon Title: The Power of Prayer | Text: Ephesians 3:14-21
Prayer can feel likeness when it's used as a wishlist or as a religious duty. Ephesians shows us that prayer can take truths and make them powerful. Prayer helps us experience the life changing presence of God and helps us to understand the depth of the love of God. A church that is spiritually alive and united centers itself on prayer.
Sermon Title : The Church’s Foundation | Text: Ephesians 2:1-10
The foundation of the church isn't a great leader or a great philosophy in life but the Good News that God can take us from the depths of despair to the heights of heaven freely by His grace. The Gospel radically changes how we treat each other, levels our pride and creates a community of grace. The Gospel gives us meaning for the present as we walk in good works and gives us great hope for the future.
