Summary: You are the dwelling place of God! The Holy God, dwells in you, and if you are wondering what all the means listen on as we study what that means. As we have said in a prior study, there are only 3 things that matter in real estate, and every real estate agent confirms….. location, location, location. When looking for a place to live, dwell, the number one thing is always location…… this is where I want to live. Whether it is one reason or a thousand reasons, we come to the place of….. this is where I want to live. God, the creator of the universe, He who sits upon the throne, wants to live with you and in you.

How does just that thought make you feel today? How long has it been since you “remembered that”? When we find the perfect house, we say I want this house, I am willing to buy this house, because I really want this house. God wants you. Maybe you don’t feel wanted, maybe you feel second in everyone’s life, maybe it isn’t even a felling but a demonstrated fact, that you are second, or a demonstrated fact that you are unwanted. BUT GOD….. says to you today in this passage, I want you!

Summary: Surely, we have reached the summit of the New Testament here in this passage. Our passage today summarizes the greatest gift (everlasting salvation), from the greatest lover (God’s own heart), and God’s greatest thoughts of you (His masterpiece). When, if we, can fully comprehend what is declared to us in these verses, we will live in power, we will live in peace, we will be secure in our salvation, and secure in our identity (not just in the life to come, but the life here now), we will walk a walk that nothing in this world can move or diminish. Oh, what a passage that is before us today.

Summary: From dead in sin to seated with Christ in heavenly places—what a transformation! This Sunday we explored Ephesians 2:1-7 and discovered the breathtaking reality of our past, present, and future in Christ.

We were once dead in trespasses and sins, walking according to the world's standards. But God—those two powerful words change everything! Rich in mercy and great in love, He made us alive together with Christ. Not only alive, but raised up and seated with Him in heavenly places. You are God's trophy of grace, His inheritance, loved before the foundation of the world.

Here's the beautiful truth: His kindness leads us to repentance, not our dwelling on failures. God is patting the seat next to Him, saying "Come sit here with Me." For all eternity, He wants to show you the exceeding riches of His grace. That's not just your future—that's your reality today.

Change the way you think. Live like you're called. You've been made alive!

Summary: The Book of Ephesians is about all the spiritual riches available to the believer. Ephesians 1:3 the theme of the whole book says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: For the first fourteen verses the Apostle Paul talks about how we are "born spiritually rich" when we trusted Christ. But he says that being born spiritually rich is not enough, for we must grow in our understanding of our riches if we are ever going to use them to the glory of God. God desired that the Christians in Ephesus understood what great spiritual wealth they had in Christ. After talking about Knowledge is Power through the first 14 verses, Paul goes and starts to pray for them that they would seize this Knowledge and have the Power to use in their daily walk. Two thousand years later, God desires the same for us today.

Summary: God Seals Us when we believe. Why does this passage of scripture matter to you today? Well quite simply, if a person continually struggles with what is their purpose and worth in life, and if they continually struggle with their eternal security, they will never be able to move on and live in the victorious Christian life that God purposes for them, and promises for them to have for the taking. And notice, I say for the taking, because although God purposes it and secures it for the Believer, the believer still must take it by their own freewill choosing.

Summary: Life has a way of leaving us in pieces. Relationships fracture. Dreams shatter. Sin separates. From the moment humanity fell in the Garden of Eden, the story of our existence has been one of things falling apart—man separated from God, brother against brother, nation against nation. Yet woven throughout Scripture is a counter-narrative, a divine promise that what has been broken will be made whole again.

This is the heart of redemption.

Summary: A special study where we open up the newspaper and the Bible, and see prophecy coming together before our very eyes. Prophecy isn't just about future predictions; it's about knowing God better, living intentionally now, and being prepared for Christ's return, making it a practical and essential part of Christian faith.
