In Ephesians 1:3–14, Paul reminds us of all that is already ours when we belong to Christ. We have been chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and sealed by the Holy Spirit—all according to the riches of God's grace and to the praise of His glory. In this episode, we'll consider what it means to be blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ and how remembering these truths can help us when our circumstances are difficult, our plans don't go as we hoped, or we're tempted to focus on what we don't have. Whatever today holds, if you belong to Christ, you are richly blessed in Him. Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.

Message Take Aways:1. The believer is called to godliness, and the Lord has granted everything we need to walk accordingly—“walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory” 1 Thessalonians 2:122. The believer is to actively pursue growth in their personal walk with the Lord—“we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ” Ephesians 4:14-153. The promise of coming glory has been proclaimed in the Gospel, demonstrated by the transfiguration of Jesus Christ, and declared throughout the whole counsel of Scripture—“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” Philippians 3:20-21

Responsibilities need attention. Problems need solving. Bills need paying. Commitments need keeping. Without realising it, people can slowly move from living with purpose to simply surviving from one day to the next. Many people know that feeling. The pressures of life have a way of making us forget who we are. We can become so focused on what is demanding our attention that we lose sight of what God has spoken over our lives. Yet Scripture reminds us that we are not accidents, mistakes, or afterthoughts. We are God's handiwork. His workmanship. Created with intention, purpose, and value. Paul reminds believers that God prepared good works for them long before they ever arrived at this moment. That means your life carries significance. Your story matters. Your presence matters. Even in seasons that seem ordinary, God is still shaping, guiding, and working through His people. Father, thank You that You created me with purpose and intention. Thank You that my value is not determined by success, performance, or the opinions of others but by Your love and Your grace. Jesus, help me see myself through Your eyes. Remind me of who I am in You when discouragement, comparison, or disappointment try to speak louder than Your truth. Strengthen my faith and help me walk confidently in the purpose You have prepared for me. Holy Spirit, awaken fresh vision within me today. Help me recognise opportunities to serve, encourage, and follow where God is leading. Replace insecurity with confidence and uncertainty with renewed hope. Across the world, from Chicago to Lagos, from Singapore to Christchurch and Tokyo, may discouraged hearts discover renewed purpose, uncertain minds find fresh direction, and every listener experience the confidence that comes from knowing they belong to God.

Rooted & Grounded in the Love of Christ (Ephesians 3:14-19) Pastor Ron Laney, Pleasant Grove Church, Carthage, MS. www.PleasantGrove.info
What are students and children actually learning from us? It may not be our sermons. It may not be our advice. It might simply be the way we live. In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares a simple but powerful story from dinner with his grandchildren and a reminder that faith is often caught before it is taught. After inviting his family to pray over a meal, Doug watched something unexpected happen: His grandchildren stepped forward and wanted to pray. Not because they were asked. Not because they were prepared. But because prayer had become natural to them. That moment became a powerful reminder: Students and children are watching us more closely than we realize.

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! Who Are You in Christ? | Ephesians 1:1–2 Sermon on Christian Identity Who are you, really? In a world that tells you to build your identity through success, performance, status, and approval, Ephesians points us in a completely different direction. In Ephesians 1:1–2, Paul reminds believers that identity precedes activity. Before he tells us how to live, he reminds us who we are in Christ. In this message, we look at three powerful words from Paul's opening: apostle, saints, and faithful in Christ. This sermon will help you see: You are called, not self-made You are set apart, not common You are faithful in Christ, not sustained by self-effort If you have ever struggled with failure, shame, purpose, or trying to prove yourself, this message is for you. Your identity is not built on what you do for God, but on what God has done for you in Christ. Big Idea: Who you are in Christ defines how you live, not the other way around. Scripture: Ephesians 1:1–2 If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded who they are in Christ. Where we seek to Love God, Love Others, and Live on Mission. We are a church that strives to live fully for Jesus, while sharing His story with others.

2026 Palm Sunday "Chosen in Christ" Ephesians 1:3-6 Sermon recorded March 29th, 2026 Caleb Click Lead Pastor Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, AL
Palm Sunday exposes the gap between what people expect God to do and what He has actually done. A crowd welcomed Jesus with confidence, convinced their king had arrived to fulfill their expectations, yet “by Friday, they were all gone” and “by Sunday, when Jesus walked out of the tomb, he walked out alone.” The same tension appears wherever belief is shaped by expectation instead of reality. The deeper struggle is not disappointment but confusion about why faith does not fully come together. The honest question underneath it all is simple: “Why doesn't it all come together?” This reveals a gap between what is known about God and what is experienced in daily life. David shows that this gap is not failure but a call to dependence. A king who had seen victory still prayed, “For the sake of Your name, LORD, revive me… bring my soul out of trouble.” Real faith does not disconnect but asks God for inner renewal. The Shunammite woman shows the danger of pretending everything is fine when it is not. Saying things are well when they are not is not faith but avoidance. Honest faith brings reality before God and follows where He is actually moving. The root problem is not circumstances but spiritual death that has already been addressed. Scripture says, “And you were dead in your offenses and sins,” but “God… made us alive together with Christ” (Ephesians 2:1–5 NASB 2020). The gap can close because the root has already been dealt with. Holy Week is an invitation to stay close enough to see what God has done. Prayer, fasting, and gathering are not rituals but a way to move beyond the moment. As you reflect on this message this week, consider the following: 1. Why doesn't it all come together?Where are you experiencing a gap between what you believe about God and what you are actually experiencing in your life? Instead of ignoring it, bring that tension honestly before God. 2. “Revive me… bring my soul out of trouble.”Are you trying to fix your situation externally, or are you asking God to do a work inside you? What would it look like this week to genuinely ask for inner renewal instead of just outward change? 3. Stay for the meaning, not just the moment.Are you engaging with God only when things feel powerful or emotional, or are you willing to stay close even when things are unclear? How can you intentionally lean into prayer, fasting, and community this week to see what God is actually doing? The post Palm Sunday appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.
Who Are You Becoming? (Part 3): The Power of Focus That Transforms Your Life What if the most important question in your life isn't what you're doing… but who you're becoming? In this final episode of his 3-part series on the power of focus, Rob Skinner shares a powerful message from a recent sermon in Boston about how your attention shapes your character—and ultimately your life. Most people focus on external things: Career Money Success Future plans But the Bible calls us to ask a deeper question: Who am I becoming? In 2 Corinthians 3, the Apostle Paul teaches that as we contemplate the Lord, we are transformed into His image. That word "contemplate" means to gaze, reflect, and give sustained attention. In other words: You become what you focus on. The Transformation Process When you fix your attention on Jesus, something powerful happens. His character begins to form in you: • Love • Joy • Peace • Patience • Kindness • Goodness • Faithfulness • Gentleness • Self-control (Galatians 5:22–23) This is the goal of the Christian life—not just to believe in Jesus, but to become like Him. The Michelangelo Illustration Rob shares a powerful illustration from Michelangelo. When asked how he created the statue of David, Michelangelo said: "I simply chipped away everything that was not David." That's exactly what Jesus does in our lives. As we focus on Him, He begins to chip away: • Pride • Fear • Selfishness • Sin Until Christ is formed in us. Christ-Focused Reading Rob shares a practical habit to help you grow: Christ-focused reading Spend time slowly reading and reflecting on passages that reveal the character of God and Jesus, such as: • Exodus 34:6–7 – God's compassion and grace • Romans 5 – God's love demonstrated through Christ • Ephesians 1 – Your identity and blessings in Christ • Philippians 2 – The humility of Jesus • Colossians 1 – The supremacy of Christ • Romans 8 – Life in the Spirit Don't rush. Read slowly. Reflect deeply. Repeat often. Because transformation happens through consistent exposure to truth. Your Life Follows Your Focus We live in a world where everything is competing for your attention. But you have a choice: You choose your focus. And when your focus changes, your life begins to change. So today, ask yourself: Where are my eyes going? Then gently bring them back to Jesus. Support the Podcast If this episode encouraged you:
