You know God has crafted some awesome scenery from the Grand Canyon to the Swiss Alps, from the tropical rainforests of Brazil to the serene austerity of the Saharan desert. But just imagine what God has handcrafted for the heavenly city of Jerusalem. We'll get a sneak peek on today's program Ephesians 2:18

Today we'll see how we're brought together, brought near to the Lord through the shed blood of Jesus. Pastor Ray titled today's study Made nigh by the blood. What's the significance? We'll find out as pastor Ray begins

Ephesians 2:8

Oftentimes, we're known more for what we're against than what we're for, more for what we refrain from doing than what we set out to do. Well, today, pastor Ray shows us how we can be doers of the word and show the world with a love of God.

Ephesians 2:8-10

Our needs and desires come as no surprise to God. We can't forget that he created us. What's more, he knows how to meet those needs and he knows how needs that go unmet temporarily in build character. And that shapes us into who he wants us to be. More on that today from pastor Ray.

Ephesians 2

We all want to be loved even though we can sometimes feel so unlovable. Yet God loved you enough to send his only son to give his life so that God can spend eternity with you. It's the greatest love story ever. But we'll see that love is more poignant when we realize he loved us when we were his enemy

Ephesians 2

If we choose to, we can add another fear to our collection. If you follow the news, listen to a small talk at work, or just speak with a neighbor, you can find something new to bring anxiety. Today, pastor Ray says God has a better idea. Trust in him and his love and providence will sustain you.

Ephesians 2:1-3
