Chosen for Good - Sermons in Ephesians

Saved on Purpose - Ephesians 2:1-10

Jesus saves us not only from something but saves us to something. As we open Ephesians today we will learn the nature of the salvation of Jesus that takes us from a shuffling purposeless existence to a life of joy and purpose.

Chosen - Ephesians 1:1-14

The ancient city of Ephesus was awash with ideas, philosophies and choices to shape your life, much like our culture today. In a world that values the choice of the consumer, God is the one who has chosen his church to give them value, redemption and purpose.

Riches, Power and Hope - Ephesians 1:15-23

We are lured to find out riches, power and hope in the things of this world that are fragile and are sure to pass away. Maybe the key to life is in the one who conquered death.

Getting Dressed -Ephesians 4:17-32

How do we change and grow? After we have a strong posture of unity around and gentleness and love towards each other, we have the environment to take off the old and put on the new.

The Manner of Your Calling - Ephesians 4:1-16

How can people who come from all different directions walk in the same direction? Paul lays out the posture the church has towards one another. To be united in God and strong in the truth but be open and vulnerable to each other in love and acceptance.

The Wisdom of God - Ephesians 3:1-22

How do we understand when the church seems to be losing? Paul wants the Ephesians to know that whilst the church may not look like much, it is the shining wisdom of God.

Authenticity vs Duty - Ephesians 2:11-22

How can there be peace when people are driven by different values. As Paul is writing to a diverse church, he shows how people both near and far from God are welcomed into the church.
