In Ephesians 4:11-16, we are given a picture of how God has equipped his servants with various gifts to build up the church so that we would all become mature followers of Jesus. In today's message, Jarrod Swartz preaches on this passage to help our graduating seniors (and all of us) consider the role we play in church, and the way that our brothers and sisters in Christ have supported us, as we all grow to maturity.

In the first 3 chapters of his letter to the Ephesians, Paul reminds us of who we are as the church. In chapters 4-6, Paul will explain how we ought to live as followers of Christ. In today's message, Pastor Phil preaches on Ephesians 4:1-6, and how we should live in humility, patience, gentleness, long-suffering and unity.

In today's message, Caleb Bryant studies Ephesians 3:14-21, and encourages us that as we consider the boundless love of Christ, we should act according to that love--and that to know the love of Christ, we need to study the scriptures.

Ephesians 3 tells us that through the gospel, God uses the church to reveal a mystery which has been kept hidden from the beginning of time. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores this "cosmic sermon," and reminds us that God can work through our hardships, that we need to live on mission, and that we should have a proper view of the significance of the church.

Ephesians 2:13 says "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ." (NIV) During the times that Paul lived in, there was a great societal divide between the Gentiles and the Jews. But in Christ, Jew and Gentile believers have been brought together as one church. In today's message, Pastor Phil explores how God is our peace, how we have been brought near to God, and that as believers, we have been joined together.

In Ephesians 2, Paul explains that we were dead in our transgressions, but that we have been made alive with Christ, and that we have been seated in the heavenly realms with Christ Jesus. In today's message, Pastor John explains some common responses to the message of the gospel, and shows us from Ephesians 2:1-10 that our sin is a deadly problem, that there is hope in Christ, and that all the glory goes to Him.
