Why do we pray? Many times we fail to see our prayers as a warfare activity, but for Paul; he saw it as one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal.
Part 13 - Ephesians 6:10-17

What does it mean to wear the "Armor of God"? Paul sees the christian doing battle "in Christ" through the power of self-sacrifice and love.

What is a Christ-like marriage supposed to look like? What causes so many to fail? Husbands and Wives both have roles they are supposed to play, but understanding them in light of Christ is key to keeping a relationship healthy and full of life.
Part 11 - Ephesians 5:5-21
August 9, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
Over the last several verses, Paul has been calling us to a new way of living with a new set of standards. Starting in chapter 5, he now moves from the obligations of Holy behavior to the motivations behind them. Why are we to live Holy lives? What is the motivation behind becoming a new creation?
Part 10 - Ephesians 4:25-5:4

As we grow into maturity in our Christian walk, we begin to take off rags of our old life and put on the garments of the new life. What find out however, is that the change must happen inside of us before it can be shown on the outside.
Part 9 - Ephesians 4:17-24

What does it mean to be renewed in our minds and put on the new self? Being a Christian redefines our identity and therefore points us in a new direction of purity and walking in the light. We are awakened to who we truly are as a being made in the image and likeness of God!
Part 8 - Ephesians 4:1-16
July 19, 2015 • Pastor Chris Kaskel
Why do we go to church? The more mature we get in our faith, the more we realize that we are meant to be in community with other people. We are called to be a part of the Body of Christ, His Church, where we find our identity and purpose.
Part 7 - Ephesians 3:14-21
July 12, 2015 • Pastor Mark Sparks
Spiritual growth is an essential part of our relationship with God. What we will discover, however is that it takes us as individuals, God, and His Community (the Church) all working together!
Part 6 - Ephesians 3:1-13
July 5, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
Paul is in prison when he is writing this letter. He can see people starting to wonder how could God allow such a man, with his gifting, calling, talent, and passion to languish in captivity. If Paul is truly a servant of God, and God has really given him resurrection power and seated him with The Son in the heavens, how can bad stuff happen to him?
Part 5 - Ephesians 2:11-22

Racism is not an issue that is new to us as a culture. In the days of Paul, there was a dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles. The good news of Jesus is that He came to break down the wall and destroy the "Us vs. Them" mentality. In Christ, we are all one humanity.
Part 4 - Ephesians 6:1-9
June 21, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
This Father's Day we are jumping ahead to Ephesians 6. Paul gives us some great practical insight about relationships between parents and children along with employers and employees.
Part 3 - Ephesians 2:1-10
June 14, 2015 • David Sulcer
Although Christ died, God resurrected and exalted him. In the same way, we also were dead in our sin, but God resurrected and exalted us through and with Christ!
Part 2 - Ephesians 1:15-23
June 7, 2015 • David Sulcer
Prayer is far from being a man-driven monologue toward God as our audience. It is actually a dialogue that leads to discovery of who God is and who we are in Christ.
Part 1 - Ephesians 1:1-14
May 24, 2015 • Pastor Herb Reisig
Join us as we start a new series where we will journey through the book of Ephesians. Over the next several weeks, we will discover the mystery of Jesus Christ that is revealed to us in this wonderful letter.
