In Ephesians 4:7-16, the Apostle Paul addresses the importance of spiritual gifts in the local church. Everyone in the church using their spiritual gifts benefits the church family to help bring spiritual maturity. It doesn’t matter what gift you have. All that matters is that you use your gift(s) to benefit the body of Christ (the Church).

Have you ever felt spiritually stuck? Why do we as Christians plateau spiritually? Could it be as simple as this… WE DON’T ASK GOD FOR IT? God wants us to experience His joy, peace and purpose.

One of the greatest issues within the first-century church was the issue between the Jews and Gentiles. Ephesians 2:11-22 address what diversity in unity looks like in the church. The greater the unity within a church, the more power that church will have to reach their community.

In Ephesians 2:1-10, the Apostle Paul gives a clear explanation of the Gospel. The Gospel is not about making good people better. It’s about making dead people ALIVE!

In Ephesians 1:15-23, the Apostle Paul records a prayer for the Ephesian believers.

In Ephesians 1:1-3, the Apostle Paul begins this letter by giving his readers a proper perspective on God's blessings. This message looks at 4 truths that we can learn in these verses.

The very concept of “self-control” implies a battle between a divided self. It implies that our “self” produces desires we should not satisfy but instead “control.” God has given us the fruit of self-control because our own self can desire and crave for things that are ungodly or harmful.

What transpired on early Sunday morning, April 5, AD 33 would unleash a movement so compelling, so enduring, so influential, so unstoppable that two thousand years and billions of believers later, it will still be growing faster than ever. It was the day Jesus defeated death and walked out of the tomb.

Gentleness is probably the most neglected fruit of the Spirit. We live in an age of outrage. If outrage and anger is the spiritual diagnosis, then the fruit of gentleness is the medicine. If there was ever a time when Christians need to display and exercise gentleness… IT’S NOW!

To be faithful is to be reliable, dependable and trustworthy. Our words, promises and vows should matter. This message looks at how God delights not mainly in the greatness of the work, but in the faithfulness of the worker.

God does not rescue us from sin and give us His Holy Spirit for us to then do nothing. He means for His people to give their lives, and what precious time we have, to “do good.” This message looks at the importance of the Holy Spirit in our good deeds we do as Christians.

The fruit of “kindness” is a bit different than the kindness that our culture promotes. The Bible portrays kindness as a supernaturally generous orientation of our heart towards other people… even when they don't deserve it and don't love us in return. God Himself is kind in this way!

Impatience grows out of our unwillingness to trust and submit to God’s timing for our lives. This message looks at the fruit of patience and how we can partner with the Holy Spirit and produce more patience in our lives.

The peace that comes from the Holy Spirit is found in Jesus through salvation. But the key is that peace is preserved by walking in step with the Holy Spirit.

The fruit of joy is not the mere response of pleasant circumstances. It’s the production of God’s Spirit.  According to Christ, it is HIS JOY filling us!

The Bible says that "God is love." And God's love was on full display through Jesus. This message looks at how God loves through us, His Children.

The fruit of the Spirit is not about achieving something...because you can’t; it’s about knowing someone, and His name is Jesus. This message encourages us to plant the roots of our faith in the soil of the gospel and then the Spirit will begin to bear fruit in and through us. 

In John 15, Jesus discusses the importance of "remaining in Him" as His followers. This message looks at how Jesus tells us to remain in Him.

The Church of God is a vital blessing for the believer! It's so vital that Jesus established it Himself. This message looks to answer the question, why is church community so important and why should I prioritize it?
