Reading Ephesians 4:1-6, Chael explores doing everything we can to strive for unity in the body of Christ.

In taking a look at Ephesians 4, Chael talks about how community is imperative as we work together with God to bring His kingdom here on earth.

Katie offers a very practical framework for engaging with Jesus...rather than asking 'am I doing this right?' we can reframe our time with asking 'why am I doing this?' and get to the core of what we are seeking from our Savior.

As a brief departure from our Ephesians series, Chael takes time to pitch resetting life with God...reorienting our postures with Him and delighting in and being delighted by our Creator.

In a casual night of sharing, our community shares stories about what God has been showing and doing. Listen to be encouraged and moved by these stories of transformation.

Sometimes in our timelines (Chronos) we can experience a moment when God is trying to get our attention (Kairos). These moments can and do profoundly shape our stories and our character, and God uses them to get ours and other people's attention. 

Chael shares that while we have both beauty and brokenness in our stories...we are becoming something new by the power of the Gospel. 

Chael shares how our stories contain both beauty and brokenness, and how to interpret that through our relationship with Jesus and the context of Scripture.

Daniel dives deep into the story of Joseph and organizes it by people, places, and events. We can learn from this example too as we examine our own stories and how the time, place, and people have played a role in what God is doing in our lives.

Chael goes through the life of Joseph to show how God used his story for the saving of many lives. God also uses our stories to show Himself to us, and make an impact in the world. Let's unpack how that works!

What do Janet Jackson, Noah, and the being from the south all have in common? Special guest Chad Norris explains and dives deep into personal lessons and recent growth in intimacy with the Lord.

Taking a look at Ephesians 3:17-21, Chael tries to offer a glimpse of God's enormous love for us, and our capacity to receive it.

Katie shares from Ephesians 3:1-13 and how the church can operate in the wisdom that James talks about:  "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."  (James 3:17).

Reading from the text of Ephesians 2:11-22, Chael explores how Jews and Gentiles are meant to live under Christ.

Daniel shares from Ephesians 2:8-10 on God's gift to us, and how that motivates us to give back. 

Chael shares from Ephesians 2:1-7, and how we battle against the World, The Devil, and our own Flesh, but the great news is that though we are dead in our sins, Christ made us alive to lavish His grace and kindness on us. 

The order of creation is interesting, as it includes something our Western minds have a hard time conceptualizing; a spiritual realm, full of spiritual beings. Chael talks on Ephesians 1:19-23, to set up the rest of the Book of Ephesians and how the Biblical authors saw the Scriptures and the Cosmos.  In the middle of the sermon, we paused to watch a few Bible Project videos that you can find here...

Breaking down Ephesians 1:18-20 (CSB): "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the mighty working of his strength. He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dea...

Mark preaches from Ephesians 1:17-19, and our goal being to gain wisdom and revelation to know Him better.

Examining Ephesians 1:9-10, and Genesis 1 + 1, Chael lays the foundation of the cosmology of the universe and the created order that will give context to the text now and in the future. This is a foundational message you will want to listen to!

Katie explores the theme of redemption, what it means to be 'bought' and not belong to ourselves.

Predestination, election, adoption, being 'in Christ' can all sound like vague (and sometimes contested) ideas about our faith. Chael breaks them down in new and enlightening ways that help us to live out what we believe.

In our intro to our series on the letter to the Ephesians, Chael unpacks an open secret: Jesus changes everything. Giving a foundational overview of what we will encounter in this rich letter, Chael gives the lay of the land as we see everything from the supremacy of Christ to election to marriage and family, spiritual warfare, and the cosmos. 

Let's get a bigger picture for the work God wants to come in our Region. It's bigger than just our hearts, homes, church, schools, and work...

Our spaces of living, working, playing (and school!) are all places where we can dedicate to the Lord. Let's find out how God wants to meet us at this altar.
