    Family Matters | Part 6: Light in the Lord

    In Part 6 of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens opens Ephesians 5 and the call to walk as children of light. Once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord, so live like it. From "not even a hint" of what belongs to the dark, to the truth that light is how words travel, this message traces what it looks like to receive the light of Christ and release it through your speech: words that bless, a life kept filled, gates that are guarded. Key Scriptures: Ephesians 5:1-14 The Call: receive His light, release it through your words, and make one concrete commitment this week to walk as a child of light.

    Family Matters | Part 5: Walk Worthy

    In Part 5 of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens crosses the great pivot of Ephesians: after three chapters of what God has done, Paul turns and says "walk worthy of the calling to which you have been called." Not to earn the fullness, but to live it out. From the unity of one body and one Spirit to the gifts that equip the family to build itself in love, from putting on the new man to putting away the old, this message traces what the walk actually looks like when grace goes first: a life renewed from the inside, imitating God as dearly loved children. Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:1-6, Ephesians 4:7-16, Ephesians 4:17-24, Ephesians 4:25-32, Ephesians 5:1-2 For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.com

    Family Matters | Part 4: The Crescendo of Ephesians

    In Part 4 of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens reads Ephesians 1-3 the way you'd read a mountain range: following the recurring words, the pivots, and the crescendo that builds until God's family becomes God's dwelling place, filled with all His fullness. From the eight-fold trail of "in Him" to the mystery that erupts in chapter 3, this message traces one chain: blessed, chosen, adopted, made alive, seated, brought near, built together, filled. And the crescendo is always love, a love that surpasses knowledge, prayed over your home by name. Key Scriptures: Ephesians 1:3-14, Ephesians 1:15-23, Ephesians 3:1-13, Ephesians 3:14-21, Ephesians 4:1 For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.com

    Family Matters | Part 3: A Dwelling Place For God

    In Part 3 of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores the incredible purpose of spiritual family: God’s family is meant to become God’s home. Ephesians describes a progression from strangers, to citizens, to family, to a house, and ultimately to a dwelling place where God lives by His Spirit.But becoming a dwelling place requires more than knowing about God—we are invited to interact with God through His Spirit. This message explores how we can move deeper than the rational level through worship, prayer, Scripture, vulnerability, and intentional time in God’s presence—both personally and together. As we learn to enter in with one another, God forms us into a people who can be filled with all His fullness.Key Scriptures:Ephesians 2:19–22, Ephesians 3:14–20, John 4:23–24, Matthew 18:20, Acts 5:15–16Main Points:1. God’s family is meant to become a dwelling place for His presence2. God desires more than intellectual knowledge—He invites us to know and encounter Him by the Spirit3. Worship, prayer, praying in the Spirit, and meditation on Scripture help us move deeper than the rational level4. Shame, inadequacy, busyness, and information without encounter can keep us from entering into God’s presence5. We cultivate His presence by tending our personal fire, setting aside intentional time, and learning to enter in together6. Vulnerability joins the stones—especially in the small places of family, friendship, and spiritual community7. When a people become God’s dwelling place, His presence can saturate and overflow through them➤ For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.comNotes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gODmszKUPNoEJBKxzMSJOqpG6W5pN4aRvVpqeP-RErs/edit?usp=sharing#FamilyMatters #ADwellingPlaceForGod #Ephesians2 #Ephesians3 #PresenceOfGod #SpiritualFamily #HolySpirit #PresenceCenteredLife #PrayerAndWorship #ChristianPodcast #SundaySermon

    Family Matters | Part 1: You Are Chosen

    In the opening message of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens begins a journey through Ephesians with the story of his sister’s adoption and a powerful truth at the heart of the gospel: God chose us. Paul tells us how to live as family, he tells us that in Christ we have already been chosen, adopted, and brought fully into the family of God.We are not second-class members of God’s household or children who have to earn our place. We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing and welcomed into the Father’s love and inheritance. And this was never an afterthought—God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. When we truly believe that we are wanted, chosen, and loved, it changes how we relate to God and how we love the people around us.Key Scriptures:Ephesians 1:3–14, Romans 8:29Main Points:1. In Christ, we have been chosen and adopted into the family of God2. We are not second-class children—we receive the full love and inheritance of the Father3. We are first in the affections of God4. Our adoption was always God’s plan, not an afterthought5. Being chosen gives us both privilege and responsibility as members of God’s family6. Because we have been welcomed in, we are called to welcome others into the family➤ For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.comBlog : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ByPmI0KDeMHtu2S-L5rQ8sTcYn9-vAjC75_N72rlkDk/edit?usp=sharing#FamilyMatters #SheWasChosen #Ephesians1 #ChosenByGod #Adopted #FamilyOfGod #IdentityInChrist #PresenceCenteredLife #ChristianPodcast #SundaySermon

    Family Matters | Part 2: The Spirit of Revelation

    In Part 2 of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores Paul’s prayer that the eyes of our hearts would be flooded with light. We can hear that God loves us, know the gospel, and even believe that we are chosen—yet still need the Holy Spirit to reveal the depth of what those truths actually mean.At the center of that revelation is Jesus. We were chosen and loved so completely that Christ willingly gave His life for us. Paul prays that what we know in our minds would become revelation in our hearts—that we would truly see the hope we have in Christ, how precious His people are to Him, and the incredible power of God at work on our behalf.Key Scriptures:Ephesians 1:15–21Main Points:1. Spiritual truth must move from information to revelation2. The Holy Spirit floods the eyes of our hearts with light so we can truly see3. Jesus chose us and demonstrated the depth of His love by giving His life for us4. We are precious to God—His people are described as His glorious inheritance5. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work for those who believe6. Paul’s prayer gives us a model for asking God to make these truths real in our hearts➤ For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.comBlog: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TjvHeNIz4cK1sXhZAVsLjyIg-414SD5vpM-qip6_YqM/edit?usp=sharing#FamilyMatters #FloodedWithLight #Ephesians1 #ChosenByGod #LoveOfJesus #EyesOfTheHeart #SpiritualRevelation #PresenceCenteredLife #ChristianPodcast #SundaySermon

    Journey Through James | Part 2: Desire, Deception, Divine Provision & Devotion

    In Session 2 of Journey Through James, Pastor Hazen Stevens examines the journey from desire to devotion. James reveals that desire itself is not the problem—our deepest longings were created by God. The danger comes when those desires become disconnected from their true Source. Like sailors who drank seawater to satisfy their thirst, we often turn to counterfeit sources that promise life but ultimately leave us empty.This message contrasts earthly and heavenly wisdom, exposing how deception begins when we seek fulfillment apart from God. True freedom is found by trusting the Father's goodness, receiving every good gift from Him, and becoming doers of the Word. Genuine faith is more than belief—it is a life of faithful devotion that bears fruit through obedience.Key Scriptures:James 1:13–18, James 1:22–25, James 2:14–26, James 3:13–18, James 4:1–3Main Points:1. Desire is God-given, but detached desire leads to deception and death2. The problem is not our thirst—it is where we go to satisfy it3. God alone is the source of every good and perfect gift4. Spiritual deception happens when we hear God's Word without obeying it5. Heavenly wisdom produces peace, mercy, and righteousness, while earthly wisdom produces disorder6. Genuine faith is demonstrated through faithful devotion and obedient action➤ For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.comNotes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eoJNXy3_gFhfzXTWZsmKaJdXnESyGbAb/view?usp=sharing#JourneyThroughJames #BookOfJames #FaithInAction #HeavenlyWisdom #EveryGoodGift #PresenceCenteredLife #James1 #James2 #ChristianPodcast #SundaySermon

    Journey Through James | Part 1: The Perseverance of Wisdom and Love

    In the opening session of Journey Through James, Pastor Hazen Stevens explores one of Scripture's most challenging invitations: to consider trials as joy. James teaches that suffering is not meaningless—it is God's training ground for maturity. Like resistance strengthens muscles, trials strengthen faith, producing endurance, wisdom, and wholehearted devotion.This message invites us to see life's difficulties through heaven's perspective. Rather than asking God to remove every trial, we're encouraged to ask Him for the wisdom to understand what He is producing through it. As we persevere in love and faith, God transforms our character and prepares us for the fullness of life He has promised.Key Scriptures:James 1:2–5, James 1:12, Hebrews 12:2, 1 Corinthians 13:7Main Points:1. Joy is a choice rooted in faith, not a feeling determined by circumstances2. Trials test and strengthen our faith, producing endurance and maturity3. Wisdom reframes suffering by revealing God's eternal purpose4. God gives wisdom generously to those who ask without shame5. Every trial reveals where our trust and love truly rest6. Persevering in faith and love produces lasting spiritual strength and the promise of the crown of life➤ For sermon notes and more, visit gatecitybuckhead.comNotes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GQLG9gLSmFynOGr15EuxMH8N1H9ZQwnz/view?usp=sharing#JourneyThroughJames #BookOfJames #FaithUnderTrial #Wisdom #Perseverance #PresenceCenteredLife #James1 #ChristianPodcast #SundaySermon #SpiritualFormation
