"From Death to Life for a Purpose"

Daniel Kitchel - Lead Pastor

July 2, 2023 • Ephesians 2:1–10

Our salvation is not the result of something we can do, achieve or earn. It is a gift of God. We can only receive and believe what God has done for us in Christ.

Because of this gift, we have been brought from spiritual death to spiritual life. Paul explains that this is not the end, though. The life-changing work that God has done in us should move us to do the good work of His kingdom.

We are God's masterpiece—His workmanship. Because of who we are in Him, our life should be full of the good work of His kingdom.

Ask yourself this question: "What am I good at? What are my gifts and natural abilities?" That answer is there for a purpose in your life. Ask God if you don't know the answer, and He will reveal this to you.

"Communication"

October 8, 2023

Without communication, relationships will never thrive. It is essential to express yourself and to be a listener. In our final sermon from Ephesians, we are challenged to take an honest look into our communication with God. Prayer is communicating with God. Do you pray? Will you pray? What does it look like to have a strong prayer life?

"The Armor of God"

October 1, 2023 • Ephesians 6:10–17

The battle for our hearts, souls, and minds is real and unseen. We must protect ourselves from the real threat that is against us and our families. God has given us everything we need to stand.

"Close the Door, Take a Stand"

September 24, 2023 • Ephesians 6:10–16

The spiritual realm is real. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against something deeper and darker. As Christians, we must not associate with things of darkness. We are called to be light. Our souls must be searched to consider any doors in our lives that are open for the enemy to come and go freely. God calls us to be strong in His strength and power and to take a stand.
