Ephesians 5: 8-20 tells of our transformation in God, and calls us to be intentional about what we do with our lives, to focus them on worship. With guest speaker Sarah Yardley.

Ephesians 4 and 5 call us to step up and actively play a part in our own living as a Christian. To follow God's example, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love.

Ephesians 3:14-21 Encourages us to grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is, and to be empowered to know and share it.

Ephesians 3 tells us the diverse church is central to God's plan. We are called as the church to We are called as the church to reveal Jesus, sharing the good news.

Ephesians 1: 15 - 23 tells us that God shares with us the power that raised Jesus from the dead. We wander around with a great power and authority that is above everything and we are called to open our eyes to it.

Ephesians 1:3-14 says you were included in Christ when you heard and believed the message of truth and marked with a seal - the promised Holy Spirit. We live in that power and reality today.

Ephesians 2: 19-22 - God is building a home. He's using us all, irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. Each of us are included as we are filled with the Spirit

Ephesians 2: 8-18 says that no matter how we got here, or how long or short a time we’ve been here, we are equally part of it – that is the vision for a truly diverse church that will demonstrate God’s love and his wisdom.

In John 14, Jesus calls us to ask in His name, and believe we'll see greater things than even He did on earth. We can speak the powerful name of Jesus over everything in our lives today.

In Mark 15 we see Jesus in the moments leading up to his death crying out to God what often our hearts feel in those moments. During the hardest moments of our life it can be hard to pray, when it is the thing we need most.

In Matthew 11, Jesus prayer starts with thanks to God for what God has decided to do. There’s a call for us to thank God at all times.

In John 17, Jesus prays for unity, that we may be as one. We are different, unique individuals, but called to look to Jesus and be united under Him.

In Matthew 19, Jesus invites the little children to come to him. We are each invited to come to Jesus, just as we are, through no merit of our own, but by his grace.

In Luke 23, Jesus on the cross prays for those who are killing him. Forgiveness is powerful, and lack of can be a really burden on us. Sometimes we have no ability in ourself to forgive, it is only by the strength of God.

In John 11, Jesus says "Thank you that you have heard me”. Here, we look at what it means to be heard by God, the creator of the world, and what that means for us as we pray.

In Mark 1, we see that Jesus took regular time away from the business of life and ministry to pray in quiet solitude. We are invited to do the same.

As Jesus prays for his disciples in the garden in John 17, he prays for for them to know God, and also prays for their protection and sanctification. We too can pray that for one another in our lives today.

Jesus prayer in the garden of Gethsemane teaches us to pray to know God, his character and the hope of eternal life.

Jesus way of prayer was attractive to those that saw, which lead the disciples to ask him to teach them to pray. Jesus response is the Lord’s Prayer. This is part one of a series called 'Teach us to Pray'.
