Our new identity in Christ is called by the apostle Paul, "the new self." Today as we tackle the second half of Ephesians chapter 4, living by the renewing power of the Holy Spirit is key to living and putting on the new ways of the new self by living more like Jesus in the context of missional community as a whole Gospel witness to the unbelieving world around us on a daily basis.

Ephesians 4 shifts from exploring our identity in Christ to exploring our functionality in Christ! Paul began to explain the unity in Christ the church in Ephesus had and how to practically live out their identity in Christ by walking worthily of God’s calling on them back then, and for us today!

Hi church! No Sunday Gathering today. Tune in for a quick encouragement on living in gratitude in Christ from Pastor Aaron!

Paul explains the conviction of His God-given assignment to the Gentiles by God's grace. Ephesians chapter 3 opens up with Paul continuing to lean in to how God has united Jews and Gentiles in Christ by unpacking the SPECIFICS of his Kingdom assignment via God's mystery being revealed in Christ.

God's answer for a divided world is a united church in Jesus.

God saved us FROM sin and saved us FOR good works. In Christ, this statement is joyfully true, but did you know that your Kingdom Identity in Christ is God's greatest masterpiece? Pastor Valissa will be teaching and explaining these Gospel truths as we continue through the Book of Ephesians!

We should never graduate from the Gospel. Paul clearly paints a picture of our need for the whole Gospel of Jesus and as He is writing to this culturally and ethnically mixed, divided church, Paul is equalizing everyone on the same playing field and shows God's glorious grace in this theological explanation of the Gospel's powerful demonstration through the finished work of Jesus Christ.

How did Paul pray for the church in Ephesus? Paul's thanksgiving and prayer to God for the saints in Ephesus is profound, so we will unpack his prayer and proclamation of God's power toward His church back then and today so we can get to know Jesus better and better each day as we are renewed and sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Our Kingdom Identity is rooted in the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote to a mixed local church, full of Jews and Gentiles, who heard the Gospel, received the Gospel, & believed the Gospel which produced a new identity for all of them in Christ.

If our prayers and actions are going to align for the sake of the Kingdom of God, we have to know who we are AND we have to know who we are NOT. Why conclude our prayer series on our identity in Christ? If we don't know WHOSE we are and WHO we are, we will not know HOW to pray and WHY we need to pray.
