Today, we caught up with Dr. W. Ross Hastings, Professor of Theology at Regent. Ross tells us about his book on the Ascension (to be released in November 2025), which forms the basis of his forthcoming summer class, “The Ascension and the High Priesthood of Christ” (May 26-30). In this conversation, he reflects on the christological, ecclesiological, pneumatological and eschatological significance of the Ascension and the pastoral implications of the reality that we have a High Priest who intercedes for us, and leads us in worship. As Ross says, we hope listening to and reflecting on this episode and its implications for your life will add a spring to your step today.BioDr. W.

We look at Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21 focusing on verses 17-19.
So That The Body Of Christ May Be Built Up: Did you know you're needed for the ministry of the church? Even if you aren't on staff or are a leader? You are! The whole church, equipped by leaders through the ministry of the word, is called to do the works of ministry. By speaking the truth in love, the whole body grows in unity, maturity, and love until it reaches the whole measure of the fullness of Christ! Recorded on Jun 16, 2024, on Ephesians 4:7-16 by Pastor David Parks. Our series, Ephesians: The Gospel in Life, serves as an epilogue to Finding Life in Jesus' Name from John's gospel. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals much about how the life found by faith in Jesus actually works. This series will touch on themes of grace, identity, purpose, family, the church, spiritual warfare, and more. If you're considering the life of Jesus or if you're ready to follow him today, this series is for you. Sermon Transcript We've been working through Paul's letter to the Ephesians in a sermon series called The Gospel in Life. And today, as we continue in Chapter 4, we're going to consider the work of ministry that every member of the body of Christ has been called to do. This teaching touches on the very purpose of the church and of Christian ministry. This is something I'm so passionate about because this teaching must impact our very identity as Christians and everything we do as a church. Have you ever wondered what you're doing here? Like what role do you play as a member of this church? I think most Christians think that if they show up for worship on a regular basis, and maybe serve or give, that's all that they're expected to do. But is that true? If so, then you might get the impression that you're not really necessary, that you're not really needed here. But that's dead wrong. You're vital. We need you as much as you need us. But if we fail to understand what ministry is or what it does, then we, as individuals and as a church, are headed for danger. If you have your Bible/app, please take it and open it to Eph 4:7. We'll read through this and unpack it together. Ephesians 4:7–10 (NIV), “7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” 9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)” Last week, we saw how, because of our union with Christ in the church, we have already been made one. However, with so many forces threatening to pull us apart, it can be incredibly difficult to stay one. It takes humility, gentleness, patience, and so much more. And we saw that Paul shifted from a temple metaphor for the church to the body metaphor — that we in the church are members of the body of Christ. Here, starting in v. 7, Paul starts describing why the body needs to grow and mature and how that process works. He says that “to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.” Now, of course, it's true to say that every Christian has received the grace of God in their salvation. We are saved by grace through faith, right? So you can't be a Christian and not receive the grace of God. But here, Paul uses the language of grace to describe more gifts after salvation — grace on top of grace already given. This is why Paul quotes Psalm 68. Now, if you go read Psalm 68, you'll notice that Paul changes the language of v. 18 from people giving gifts to an exalted and victorious God to an exalted and victorious Christ giving gifts to his people. There are several theories about why he changes the meaning of this verse, but I don't believe Paul was simply making the Psalm to say what he wanted it to say. If you read through the whole Psalm, it ends with God giving gifts to his people — gifts of power and strength. So,

Father John Eckert joined Patrick for a conversation about who we are in the eyes of Christ. Topics included: our identity (3:33), Jesus' Baptism (9:29), the devil steals our identity (13:21), our parents (20:59), healing our wounds (33:25), how we view God (40:20), caller: how can I help my siblings return to the faith? (46:08).
G.K.Chesterton said, "For when we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing, we worship anything". We are people who are made to worship and behold. When we sin, we are worshipping something that shouldn't be worshipped. The solution to our worship problem, is not to stop worshipping, but to start worshipping the only one who is worthy of our worship. To set our eyes on a greater glory and pleasure than our sin. And that greater glory is the glory of Christ!

Custodians of the Seed of Christ | Francis Isibor Snr , Pastor Douglas Arukwe , Nnamdi Okwudinma & Ifiok Idiang | May 20, 2023 | Preparing His bride The speakers emphasizes the importance of fellowship and the need for successors in the family of God. Dominion is discussed as exercising authority according to God's will, not just ruling over others.Also the speakers encourages the audience to understand the heart of Yeshua and choose the path to life, even if it's not popular or convenient. The concept of growth in consciousness and submission to God's government is highlighted, leading to the rest of God on the seventh day. The speakers mentions the importance of the family as the place where the life of God should be nurtured and groomed. A son who is an overcomer is described as one who has overcome certain things and aligns their thoughts with the mind and will of the Lord. The journey of growth is discussed, starting from the stage of being a toddler where volition is allowed, progressing to nearness and finally reaching the seventh day, which represents entering the rest of God. The symbolism of waters and being led by the Spirit is mentioned, indicating the need to be sustained by God's guidance and allowing oneself to be carried by the waters of His will. The connection is made to the days of Noah and Lot, indicating that understanding the times and preparing for the coming of the Lord is crucial. The wise are compared to those who built the ark for rest and deliverance, while the foolish mock and are unprepared for the floods approaching.
