The book of Ephesians begins with some of the deepest Gospel doctrine in the New Testament and ends with some of the most practical instruction for Christian living.

This week, Pastor Jimmy opened our Ephesians series by showing how Paul writes to a church in a cultural crossroads- a place full of competing ideologies, pagan spirituality, and social tension- and equips them to live confidently for Christ through a clear understanding of the Gospel. Right doctrine leads to righteous living.

We also read the entire book of Ephesians aloud in service, reminding us that before this letter was ever dissected, outlined, or commented on - it was heard, received, and obeyed.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover: ✅ How Ephesians divides into two movements: Doctrine (Ch. 1–3) & Life (Ch. 4–6) ✅ Why Gospel identity must come before Gospel obedience ✅ How God’s sovereignty, grace, and peace fuel confident Christian living ✅ Why the church must live differently from the world around it ✅ How to “walk worthy of the calling” with humility, gentleness, patience, and unity

📖 Key Themes in Ephesians: Gospel • Sovereignty • Identity in Christ • Unity • Peace • Holiness

Guest Speaker Pastor Rob Pochek (MBC Team Leader for Prayer & Evangelism) brought a powerful message reminding us that every Christian has a story, and God intends to use it.

From John 9 and the healing of the man born blind, we learn that Jesus is on a mission to bring people to belief — and one of the greatest tools He gives us is our own testimony. If you love Jesus, you can talk about Him. Sharing your story joins Jesus in His mission.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover: ✅ Why sharing your story aligns with Jesus’ mission ✅ How the blind man’s testimony shows the power of simplicity ✅ Why your story doesn’t require theological expertise — just honesty ✅ How God uses ordinary believers in everyday conversations ✅ Practical encouragement to talk to Jesus about people and to people about Jesus

📖 Key Scripture: John 9

Words are never neutral. What we speak- and what we sing- forms us.

From the opening pages of Scripture, God creates by His Word. GOD SPEAKS! Yet again and again, humanity rebels by rejecting His voice. In Jesus, the Word became flesh, fulfilled what we broke, and now- by the Spirit- dwells richly among us to form a new people.

In this message, Pastor David walks through the story of Scripture to show how God speaks, how we rebel, how Jesus fulfills, and how Christ now dwells in His church- forming us through redeemed speaking and redeemed singing.

🔥 In this message, you’ll discover: ✅ Why our words reveal what has been shaping our hearts over time ✅ How God relentlessly speaks life- even in the face of rebellion ✅ Why lasting change comes from formation, not moralism ✅ Five Christ-shaped ways of speaking: encouragement, confession, loving correction, prophecy, and restraint ✅ Why singing the Word anchors truth in our hearts and unites the church
