Inside-Out Power for Living: Eph. 3:14-21

When we face troubles in life, we often ask God to take those circumstances away or fix them.  But God usually wants to use those circumstances to do a work inside us.  Listen as Pastor Brian describes how our power for living the Christian life has to come from God working on us from the inside out.
1. God's Power is Accessed Through Prayer (vv. 14-15)
2. May God Empower Us to Walk Closely With Him (vv. 16-17a)
3. May God Empower Us to Know Love Though Community (vv. 17b-19)
4. God Works in Us Before He Works Through Us (vv. 20-21)
 

It's All Part of the Plan: Eph. 3:1-13

Sometimes our vision or imagination of reality doesn't match up with what we see around us.  Listen as Pastor Brian teaches that God has a plan and has graciously given every Christian a part to play in the plan to proclaim the immeasurable riches of Jesus' love to the world.  Knowing the plan can give us boldness when hard times come and we don't see God working.
1. God Has Revealed His Plan to Us. (vv. 1-6)
2. God Graciously Gives Us the Honor of Participating in His Plan (vv. 7-10)
3. Understanding the Plan Gives Us Boldness in Hard Times (vv. 1, 11-13)
 

The Walls of the Church: Ephesians 2:11-22

Pastor Brian continues our series in the book of Ephesians.  People, including Christians, are excellent at building walls that separate, from forming cliques to discriminating against whole races.  The good news of Scripture is that Jesus tears down the walls of separation, not only between different human beings, but the wall of separation between us and a holy God.  God's plan is to bring unity out of diversity, forming believers of all tribes, nations, and tongues into the walls of a holy temple with Jesus Christ as the Cornerstone.
