1 - In Him
While under house arrest in Rome, Paul writes to churches he had pastored in and around Ephesus (a city on the coast of Western Asia Minor). He wants to be sure that with the passing of time this group, made up largely of converted Gentiles, does not lose sight of the wonderful things God has done for them. He wanted them to keep focused on the fact that they were "in Christ." It's easy for Christians to grow discouraged with themselves and to lose the boldness of faith that makes them spiritually effective. The devil tends to chip away atour sense of being acceptable to God, and as that foundation crumbles, we lose confidence that there is any power in our prayers. By the time he is finished with us, any assurance that we are strong soldiers well-equipped to enter the battle has disappeared. Another of his tactics is to divide and scatter us from one another so that we no longer pull together as a fighting unit. So Paul, knowing how the devil will attack, writes this wonderful letter to keep these soldiers sure of who they are and pulling together against their true enemy, the devil.

Customer Reviews
Lovely, consistent reminders of the Gospel
I continue to return to these messages for a grounded, Biblically solid, and humble reminder of the beauty and goodness of God and the gospel. In listening to Pastor Steve I am encouraged on in my own study and faith, I am reminded of Biblical truths that are critical to my daily walk, and I am encouraged by the clear and deliberate presentation of the gospel through exegetical teaching.
You have no idea
Pastor Steve, I went to Northwest foursquare years ago and then moved. But you are still my pastor from 20yrs ago, to this day. I listen to most of your sermons and I can’t believe how much they speak directly to something I’m thinking or wondering about or dealing with even in the crazy times we are experiencing right now in 2023. Please don’t stop this podcast and it sure would be nice to hear what you have to say now that you’ve had some time to be retired, I’m sure you have many interesting thoughts about what we are going through and what we are looking to in the future. God bless you and your family.

Enjoy Dr. Steve but…
I have gleaned a lot from Dr. Steve Schell and attended many of his services. He is a good man and I learned a lot from him. However his position on how one is saved is concerning. In his excerpt on baptism it is clear he believes one cannot be saved simply by faith alone in Christ alone but must DO many other things such as, life commitment, surrender their lives, follow him, proof of a changed heart, etc… this is well intended,but nonetheless a works salvation doctrine.
While I agree these characteristics are what follows a person who has been saved, it is not these “proofs” that saves us. Only faith in Christ alone saves us. In other words,We were justified by believing the Gospel, not PROVING we believed it by the process of works.(evidence of a changed life). Justification is not a process, it is at the moment of faith in the Son of God. I do not agree mixing discipleship with justification. Both are important but MUST be kept separate. So the idea that one cannot simply receive (believe in) Jesus and be saved is quite contrary to over 100 verses in the Bible that say that’s the only way to get saved.
