“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way”—Ephesians 1:15-23

Paul the Apostle believes in the power of prayer. His heart knew through the Holy Spirit that God’s word was truth and this motivated him to pray. He asked God to give others the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Paul prayed for the Church and for each one to find the hope of Jesus our Savior. Paul knew that knowing God intimately brings humbleness and a special power and grateful vision towards the understanding of his resurrection, exaltation position and the headship of Christ. This is the answer, provision and victory of Jesus Christ.

Blessed In Christ

February 9, 2014 • Pastor John Miller

“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ”—Ephesians 1:1-3 What wealth we have in Jesus and what blessings we possess. Paul the Apostle writes to the church in Ephesus bringing praise to God and blessing to the Lord’s own. The saints in Christ hear of such riches in Christ and the goodness of the Gospel of Salvation. Amongst the worlds, troubles the faithful live abundantly through grace in Christ Jesus. Pastor John Miller begins our study in the book of Ephesians with a message titled “Blessed in Christ” using Ephesians 1:1-3 as the scripture reference.

Chosen By The Father

February 16, 2014 • Pastor John Miller

“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with this pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One-he loves”—Ephesians 1:4-6 It is the doctrine of election that says God chose you and I to Salvation. God is infinite in His sovereign purpose. His ways are immeasurable and endless. The act of His choosing those to salvation is in His purpose and for His intent. What wonderful blessing in Christ and what a glorious notion to know that before the world began God selected each believer to holiness, love and grace. Praise the Lord to His good will and Gospel inviting All! Pastor John Miller continues our study in the book of Ephesians with a message titled “Chosen By The Father” using Ephesians 1:4-6 as the scripture reference.

Redeemed by The Son

February 23, 2014 • Pastor John Miller

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory”—Ephesians 1 7 12 God redeemed us from sin, the law and its penalty, and Satan and death. The blood of Jesus Christ set each saved believer from damnation. Long before the cross, God purposed in eternity the blessing of Salvation. Before the Lord created anything, he declared and chose you and me for himself. What wealth in such a gift of eternal life. Can we understand this truth? Praise the Lord knowing this mystery of election and the future of grace conceived in eternity. Pastor John Miller continues our study in the book of Ephesians with a message titled “Redeemed by The Son” using Ephesians 1:7-12 as the scripture reference.
