Sermons on Ephesians
Tailored 2 Fit Suitable
Today’s message is about being who God’s truly made us to be. The reason that is important is because those marked by God’s love are called to obey! The basis for discipleship is the death of Jesus for the world. Disciples die for family, friends and enemies equally as opportunity arises. Today our bottom line is…. “If you’ve been marked by God’s love, be who you are not what people expect”
Tailored 2 Fit Chic Love
What is Chic Love? Being an engaged part of a God designed local Body. Why is it important? It’s in being in my place that I find the why of my life and see the purpose of God realized – that the world will know that God sent Jesus and we’re as loved by God as Jesus is! In this message I hope to challenge you to engage with purpose and on purpose in your place in with His Body here at FBC.…
FACES: grace accepts them all
In part two we hear jokingly about “a face only a mother could love” or I’ve heard that a baby is “so ugly their cute”. The truth is that Grace Accepts Them All! This week’s talk is about how God’s Grace is inclusive, freely extended to everyone, but not at the cost of His character. Inclusion for God the Father meant Calvary for Jesus and a cross for each of us!
You Lead, I’ll Follow – Part 2 – Life in Your Garden
What’s the one thing that every gardener wants from their garden? GROWTH! A lot of energy gets spent in gardening but there are some things that are out of the control of the gardener, weather, insects, blights, pollution, etc. And those ideas are often true about our marriage as well. The goal of a Christian marriage should be that our spouse grows in Jesus. That’s the direction of this message…
You Lead, I’ll Follow – Part 1
If we look to the Throne, we’ll have the perspective needed for true success in our relationships. The key is looking at the masterpiece, what God is doing, rather than just the block of marble, where it is now.
Covered: Part 3 Protected by God from God
This is our final message in this series. As one theologian said, “has not merely paid the penalty” for our sins but “also he has positively merited for us eternal life. . . merited for [us] the reward by his perfect obedience to God’s law,” so we can run to our Father without fear. In Christ, we have the most intimate and unbreakable relationship possible with the God of the universe. We are His legitimate children!”
Cornered: Part 2 Set In Love
There’s nothing you can do to make God love you anymore and nothing you can do to make Him love you any less. When we obey, that is loving God more, but our obedience does not cause God to love us more. Doing well is not a question of getting better, but a realization that I’m growing in Christ’s image! Measuring ourselves by “getting better as a Christian” is failed viewpoint because our spiritual life becomes focused on achievements rather than growing…
When you pray Part 5
In this message, Mark puts the wraps on our series concerning prayer. In prayer, we deal directly with God and only in a secondary sense other people. It is not our prayer that moves people, but the God to whom we pray. If a scheming Jacob was given “power with God and with men,” then surely anyone who follows God’s prayer principles can enjoy the same power (Genesis 32:28). And it’s in that power with God that we find the…
Unfold: a Masterpiece
Photography and painting require that the artist or photographer have an understanding of light and how to best capture it in their photos and paintings. There’s a “light” that we need to allow to become our clarity so we can see how we are His masterpieces! Eph 2:10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. In this new series will be shedding…
