Todayin Ephesians 3, we're talking about the mystery of the church. The word mysteryis used at least six times in the New Testament to refer to the church that wasborn on the day of Pentecost. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit would comeupon people and anoint them to do special deeds, great works such as Samsondid. But in the New Testament, something new takes place. Something that washidden in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit would not only come down upon thepeople and upon the church (Acts 2:1-4), but He would enter the hearts of thebelievers and dwell there and never leave. TheHoly Spirit might be grieved (Ephesians 4:30), and He might be quenched (1Thessalonians 5:19), but the Holy Spirit will still be there. Our body is thetemple of the Holy Spirit, the temple of God. 1 Corinthians 6:19:20. My friend,we need to believe and understand this truth, this truth of the mystery of thechurch, being born on the day of Pentecost, is now God's agency, God'sinstitution that He is using to spread the Good News, the Gospel to let theworld know that by faith you can have a relationship with God through JesusChrist. The church is “according to theeternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord”. Thisgreat mystery and truth was important to Paul (vv. 1-5). It was important tothe Gentiles that now they could be one with the Jews and be one in Christtogether (vv. 6-8). It was important to the angels (vv. 9-10). And as we've been seeing through this chapter,it is also very important to the believers that today we should understand thisgreat truth. When God saved Paul, He deposited with him the precious treasuresof the Gospel truth (1 Timothy 1:11). Paul in turn committed these truths to othersand exhorted them to commit the truths to faithful men who would guard and sharethem (2 Timothy 2:2). And in those apostolicdays, the truth of the church was being made manifest in such a way thateverywhere everyone went and they knew as they became a part of that local bodyof believers, the body of Christ, that they were a part of something specialand they had a plan and program. They had a mission to be on with God, and theyturned the world upside down for Jesus Christ (Acts 17:6). And in a very wicked,evil, cruel world, things changed because of the church. Today,I believe that the same thing is happening again. I really believe in theselast days before Jesus Christ comes again. This great truth, the mystery of thechurch should be important to us today as we study through the Scriptures. Weknow that this “mystery” is the key to what God promised in the Old Testament.What Christ did in the gospels, what the early church did in the book of Acts, whatPaul and the other writers teach in the epistles, and what God will do asrecorded in the book of Revelation. God's program today is not the headship ofIsrael, Deuteronomy 28:1-13, but the headship of Christ over the church. Wetoday are under a different leadership, dispensation, if you want to call itthat, from that of Moses and the prophets. We must be careful not to confusewhat God has clarified. Thereason so many churches are weak and ineffective because they do not understandwhat we have and what they have in Jesus Christ. This great truth concerning the church is not a divine afterthought. Itis part of God's eternal purpose in Christ (Ephesians 3:11). When we know this truth, we will have boldness and access with great confidenceinto the Holy of Holies, into the presence of God, and to go forward againstthe gates of hell with the message of Jesus Christ. Oh,my friend, today, like Paul, we ask that you don't lose heart over what ourspiritual leaders and the people of God might suffer on behalf of sharing thisgood news with the others in the world. This passage of scripture shouldencourage us today to give our all to Christ, live for Him, and let His Gospelbe known to the world around us.

Missions Emphasis Sunday Nov 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:2, 1Thessalonians 2:5-12: Determining the relationship is a popular expression early in a relationship. We start at the Allurement stage, when we are attracted to their “eyes”. Next is the Exploration stage, when we explore backgrounds such as likes and dislikes. Soon we are faced with the decision to Go Deeper, and that is when things really get serious. Lastly, that forever Commitment stage is in front of us, when you entrust yourself to “jump in with both feet.” This Sunday, we're going to examine the stage of relationship with God and ultimately ask the question, "Am I ready to be fully committed?

As it turns out, "hardly working" is actually a tougher path than "working hard." Faithful, diligent work isn't just about paying bills, it's about stepping into something core to our humanity, and contributing to something larger than ourselves.

The Great Commission is exciting - "Go and make disciples of all nations!" But for most of us, it feels out of reach. It's mostly for missionaries, right? How are the rest of us, here at home, supposed to participate? God intends for each of us to participate! In 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10, Paul describes three qualities that embody the Great Commission that each of us can implement into daily life.

1 Thessalonians 1; Acts 17:1-8
Godhas a plan for your life. He has a purpose for your life. God has a will foryour life. That's what we're looking at here in Ephesians 2:10. “For we areHis workmanship”. We're His poem. We're His masterpiece, “created inChrist Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walkin them”. That we should walk in them. Walk in what? The good works thatGod has prepared for us to walk in beforehand. In eternity past, God chose thatwe should glorify Him by walking in His “good works”. Everyhuman being was made in the image of God. That's why it doesn't matter who youare, where you're from, what your ethnicity is. It doesn't matter what coloryour skin is. My friend, you are of tremendous value to God. God loves you. Godsent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you. It doesn't matter whether you're amurderer or you're the best person in the community. God loves you. God wantsyou to know His will and plan and purpose for your life. That's one of the mostamazing things in all the world. That is that we know and can know the will ofGod, God's plan, purpose for our lives. Yousay, "How can I know that? How can that take place?" Ephesians 5:17even hints about this very same theme where the apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore,do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." God'swill for our lives is not some mystery. God has prepared it beforehand and thatwe should walk in it. I love Psalm 139 that tells how God created us withpurpose. He created us and He has us in His mind and in His heart always. Heknows everything about us and still yet He still cares for us. The Bible saysHe cares about the sparrow and notices when it falls from the sky. God feedsthe birds of the air, the fowls of the air. God is in charge. God loves Hiscreation. Butof all of creation, He loves the human beings that He created in His own imagemore than anything else in eternity. The most famous verse in scripture, John 3:16,tells us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son”. Thatword world there is every human being that's ever been created and placed onplanet earth. God loves you. Nowhow do we know that will for our lives? I love Romans 12:1-2, where Paulwrites: “I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that youpresent your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto God that's onlyyour reasonable service and do not be conformed to this world but betransformed by the renewing of your mind that you may know and prove what isthat good and acceptable and perfect will of God”. Howdo you find and know the will of God? First, as you read in Ephesians 2:1-3, byrealizing that you're a sinner. You're condemned. You're depraved. You have nohope. Then in verses 4-7, “But God”! God is working for you. He loves you. Hecares for you. He has redeemed you by the blood of His Son. He has forgiven you!God has called you out of the grave clothes to live a changed and exchangedlife. His life living through you. God exalted you to sit in the heavenlyplaces in Christ Jesus. Nowyou can find that will, that perfect plan and will of God for your life. As abeliever the first aspect of the will of God for your life is to live a holylife. It's God's will that we be sanctified, that we be set apart (1Thessalonians 4:3). That we live a life that pleases Him as we yield ourselvestotally to God (Romans 12:1). Then we're not conformed to this world, but welive a life that's different than the world lives because Christ is living inus. Then you will know, you'll prove, you'll understand what the will of God is(Romans 12:2). Myfriend, when you know what that is, you have purpose in life. You have a planand a mission in life to be on mission with God! How exciting that is! Oh, I'llnever forget the day I began to find and understand God's purpose and plan formy life and the difference it has made for me. God will do the same for youtoo, if you let Him!
