Word of Life DE

After last week's cancelled service due to the snow, we gather this Sunday and find ourselves back in the book of Ephesians! Where Pastor Chris gives us a needed message of how Christ has come into the physical realm to reconcile the spiritual and the natural, bringing all of the virtues that are found in Him to those that also follow Him (Christians). This is the Revelation of the Gospel: because of Him we have been brought from death to life and darkness to light. Rejoice! that even as we await to be in His eternal presence, we can bring many virtues that are found in Heaven down to the Earth.

As we pause the Ephesians series due to Pastor Chris's absence, this Sunday we receive an edifying word from Apostle Dave Carey (Founder of WOL). In this sermon he goes in to the depths of Deuteronomy 8, exploring the final words of Moses to the people of Israel before entering into the promise land. In this chapter of the Bible Moses encourages the tribe of Israel to remember the promises and blessings God had once provided and to keep that recollection as they were now entering in to the land which was promised to them, Apostle Dave applies these truths to our life by encouraging us as believers to never forget that God was with us in our trials and he remains with us even in our blessings. Do you have a faith that can be tested, and pass the test?

In Pastor Chris' return he begins with a quick recap of his edifying experience with our brother's and sisters in Asia, where he shared the gospel and the fruits of the spirit across the globe. With this first message back he picks up right where Pastor Dana left off by shining light on the growing identity crisis that plagues the world. Pastor Chris also explains the way we encounter God's revelation and knowledge through poetry and song, a direct reflection of Paul's linguistic style in Ephesians. Rejoice! in being made sons and daughters united to the identity of Christ.

Due to Pastor Chris's absence as he spends some time in Asia sharing the gospel and growing the fruits of the church, Pastor Dana picks up right where he left off with the Ephesians series. In this message she speaks on the difference between the identity of the world and the identity all Christians share in Christ, that by choosing him we learn that "he has already chosen us". Get ready to learn about what it means to have a "blessed identity", and to live our lives in "Him" (Christ).

Pastor Chris this Sunday goes past the first verse and now dives in to the first 3 chapters of Ephesians! He examines the artistic literary style of the Apostle Paul, and shows its mirror like style which bounces off similar ideas culminating in to one singular point. This Sunday we see the importance of praising the Lord, praying to him, and remembering our fallen spiritual condition requiring his salvation. Praise God for saving us not because we deserved it but because he loved us and let that love/grace carry over in to all our relationships.

Following last week's conclusion of the Ephesians origin story series, Pastor Chris has finally cracked the door open on the Book of Ephesians!. In this service Pastor Chris presents us with a biography about the Apostle Paul/Saul and his journey from a young rabbinic student/apprentice all the way to his conversion as a messenger for our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us as we explore salvation, weakness, and humility through the lens of the life of Paul and the prophets of the OT.

This communion Sunday Pastor Chris continues his Ephesians series with continued context and world building to understand how the church has changed history. In this sermon, Pastor Chris goes over Ephesus' unique exposure to not one but 3 apostolic figures (Paul, Apostle John, and Timothy), and yet today there is no prominent church in its modern day location of Turkey. Join us in learning the balance of grace and agreeing with scripture, and the importance of remembering the first love of the church, Christ

In part 4 of the Ephesians (Origin Story) series by Pastor Chris Rue, he continues to highlight the historical context of the people at Ephesus and how Paul's ministry being preached in the 'fullness of time' was able to change the course of history. In this service, Pastor Chris emphasizes the distinction between the physical and spiritual realms and how Christ's triumphant victory on the cross has united these two realities and has equipped every believer with protection and authority against the spiritual attacks of the enemy. Join us once again for another buildup to the book of Ephesians, which teaches us the early years of the church.

This service will be part 3 of the Ephesians series by Pastor Chris Rue. In this message he builds off the two previous messages by highlighting prominent figures in Acts (Acts 18-19), such as Apollos a man who shared the testimony of John the Baptist but was later given the full story of Christ' redemption story through those appointed by the apostle Paul. Dive in to exposition of church history, human history, and the truths by which the church has spread across the globe.
