As we continue in Ephesians we come to an amazing passage about the Grace of God toward us in Jesus. It begins with a diagnosis that we may not like to hear, that we are by nature spiritually dead. But from this bleak state God intervenes to lift us out of the grave to live a new life in his grace. 

As we continue in our series in Ephesians, we hear Paul's prayer for the Ephesian churches. He is filled with thanksgiving for their faith and love, and as he prays for them he asks for the greater blessings of a deeper knowledge of God and his promises. As we explore Paul's prayer points, we will learn a lot about priorities in prayer and God's plan for us.

Today we start the Book of Ephesians. God's people are blessed in Christ by being chosen by God, redeemed through Jesus, and selected by the Spirit to bring God glory.

As Jesus leads us in singing Psalm 96 - we commit ourselves to the worldwide mission of proclamation of the saving sovereignty of God our King, whose coming as judge will be celebrated by all creation.

As Jesus leads us in singing Psalm 92, we delight to praise God together and realign our hearts, so that we will continue to flourish through our lives and into eternity.

As Jesus leads us in singing Psalm 93, we declare God's majestic rule over the universe and find comfort and security under his kingship.
