    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
