Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 1:13-14 (day one)
Join us as Senior Pastor Chris Johnson, Associate Pastor Aaron Hufty and Associate Pastor Bryan Richardson walk us through Ephesians 1:13-14 in our New Summer Sermon Series: “Living in the Spirit” a study of the Holy Spirit.
Bryan, I have struggled and at times still struggle with those same thoughts. I wonder how many others do as well. Thank you for sharing this struggle with us, and this passage beautifully comforts those of us who have lived this.Lucy
It was made clear to me from 1:1-1:14, this common denominator, if you will.
V4,5,6 God chose, predestined & adopted us as sons in Christ TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORIOUS GRACE.
V12. Chosen, predestined FOR THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY
V13,14. Marked w/a seal guaranteeing an inheritance, until God redeems us, His possession ,TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY .
Beyond amazing , this gracious Heavenly Father who loves us and holds us securely in His care.
Brian’s mistake at the beginning was the word I needed to hear today. I was surprised when he started on Chapter 4 and thought to myself, “That’s exactly what I need to hear today.” A “God moment” for me; a mistake for everyone else. Thanks.
Linda, don’t you love it when that happens?
NO ACCIDENT, Holy Spirit can use even a pastor’s misstatements when HIS KIDS need to hear something God knew they needed right then. Your “God moments” are NO ACCIDENTS!
I love the’ 3 amigos’ and their special sense of humor as they set the tone of the Monday Re:Verse Blog as I don’t think I’ve been part of such a special church
