EDEN PRAIRIE ASSEMBLY

Ephesians 4:2-3 NIV — “ Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. ”

Armor of God = Defense + Offense, all engaged in the truth of God. Defending what you know is already true and combating the lies against the enemy. What practical way can we increase the role of the Word of God in your life?

Much of the battle with the enemy takes place in the mind. God wants to equip us to stand firm and to fight against these. We win this battle by being anchored to the Truth of God.

We have a real enemy leading an organized attack against God’s plans and God’s people. We are not strong enough to defeat the enemy on our own. Jesus is the only source for victory in our lives. We must depend on God’s strength to win our battles against the enemy.

We have a real enemy leading an organized attack against God’s plans and God’s people. How do we see this play out in our world today?

While the Bible doesn’t give every detail about the spiritual world, the Bible does instruct us to be aware of the spiritual war. Everyone is a part of this war in some way, realized or not. Our role as Jesus followers is to be aware, and to respond by the instruction God has given us.

It’s all about the “likes” – they are what manipulate algorithms, attract advertisers and for many provide a feeling of self-worth. People's opinions matter to us. BUT whether we’re a people-pleaser personality or not, all of us need to be reminded that God’s opinion of us is what matters. We need to live for the Audience of One, as Jesus did.  Speaker: Worship Pastor Nick Larson

Join Our special Guest Phil Mayo as he shares on God's faithfullness.

What is our role in helping people find freedom through Jesus?

THERE IS FREEDOM IN JESUS... We’ve heard it all before, so we go on like we’re not hearing anything new. We hear of freedom, but we don’t realize our issues. We hear of freedom, but it’s someone else who needs it. We don’t want to acknowledge sin, struggle, heartache, hang-ups, worry, doubt, or fear. What would happen if we yield to God, and believe for the freedom He promised?

Paul found great comfort in this truth – that in his weaknesses, God would be his strength. All of us would much rather experience God’s power working through our weaknesses than the alternative.  Right?!  So, let’s get practical with Worship Pastor - Nick Larson and ask, how can we experience more of God’s grace and strength in our lives?

How does hurry and lack of margin in our lives, impact our relationship with God and with others? Why are we compelled to always go, go, go? At what expense? What suffers? If we aren’t careful, our pace will limit our participation in the plan of God.

You may not be called to be a missionary or pastor - but every Jesus follower is called to be a witness. But not on our own. We have the power of God — the same power that raised Jesus from the dead — the power of the One who created all of the universe. Let’s invite that power to be at work in our lives — and rather than sitting back, engage in being the Church of the living God reaching a dying...

When we talk about all the work that is to be done in our own part of the world for Jesus— it won’t be done by just the Pastors and leaders of the church. God’s work takes involvement from all of God’s people. Imagine the exponential increase in impact when all of the Church is involved in the work of the ministry!

The Church is the answer for the search in our world. The Church is the answer for love and compassion in the world. The Church is the answer for truth in the world. God has positioned us right here, right now. If not us...who?

It is easy to think that issues like abortion, and human trafficking are far away problems, something that happens somewhere else... but unfortunately those problems exist right in our own small communities. What can we do? What are some ways we can get involved, support and pray for our community and the world regarding these issue? We are called to speak up for those who cannot speak for themsel...

Encouragement, principles, and practical words for all the mother's on Mother's Day 2023..

There are multiple opinions related to the existence of God. Let’s talk through a few reasons to believe in God and His existence.

Why do we believe that Christianity is the only way to God. Who was Jesus? Who is Jesus? How do we know HIs claims to be true? Is there a way to prove Jesus as the Son of God, and the Savior of humanity as a result? Let's take a look.

Loving God & loving people is what being a FOLLOWER of Jesus is. Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Resurrection Realities. This resurrected life with Jesus now will lead to forever with Him to come. Because He lives, we will live.
