We grow as Christians when we grow in knowledge, but not just any knowledge will do. Paul's prayer shows us how we need to know, what we need to know, and where to get the knowledge we need.

Part 9 in the series on the book of Ephesians. Part one in the section ch1:15-23. Highlighting verses 15-16.

Ephesians 1:18-23(Jesus—the Good Shepherd—Can Lead You Out of Worry and Anxiety because He Reigns for You)18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Our Ephesians study continues as we look at Chapter 1, verses 3-14, but specifically verse 4. We will focus on the doctrine of election for this portion of the text as well as the attribute of God known as Aseity.

Ephesians 1:1–14 reminds us of the incredible blessings we have because we belong to Christ. We are chosen, redeemed, forgiven, adopted, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. We don't have to search for our identity, purpose, or security in the things of this world. In Christ, we have everything we need.

After a standard greeting to the church at Ephesus, Paul seems to overflow with joy and thanksgiving over the rich blessings of God offered to the believer through the gospel. The entire passage seems to effervesce with gratitude and jubilant praise. Notice, too, how much of this is centered on Christ and on God the Father. God is the main actor of the passage; in other words, it is God's work for God's glory. We'll hear the phrase “in Him” repeatedly, and three members of the triune Godhead are present. This God of power, glory, and honor has subjected everything under Christ's feet, and has appointed Christ as head over everything for the church. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Brought Near. Brought Together: A series through Ephesians Ephesians 1:15-23

How does believing in one God who exists in three persons actually change the way you live? Pastor Jim Osman answers that question in this second sermon on Trinitarian theology, an exposition and application of Ephesians 1:3-14.After a brief review of last week's doctrine, including the three pillars of Trinitarianism and the Athanasian Creed's language against confusing the persons or dividing the divine essence, Osman turns to application. He works through Paul's list of spiritual blessings in Ephesians 1, showing how each is properly attributed to the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit, then traces four areas this doctrine should shape: marriage, church, worship, and the gospel.Osman argues Christian marriage is meant to imitate the equality, diversity, authority, and submission found within the Trinity, that the church displays that same unity in diversity, and that worship and prayer should be offered thoughtfully to each person of the Trinity for what Scripture says that person has actually done. He closes by grounding the gospel in the coordinated work of all three persons and offers a striking word of assurance: since Father, Son, and Spirit all intend the same salvation for you, nothing can keep that promise from being kept.This sermon moves the doctrine of the Trinity out of the classroom and into the everyday texture of a Christian's home, church, and worship. ★ Support this podcast ★

Everything we have, and everything we are, is OF, IN, and FROM Jesus Christ!

Preacher: Pastor John Schubert Text: Ephesians 1:11

Paul's overflowing with praise even though he's in prison. How could we, no matter what we're facing? To share Paul's praise we have to share Paul's perspective, on all that God has given in Christ.

Can we really find hope in God's sovereignty? What about in seasons of extreme difficulty? Furthermore, is it right for us to think of ourselves as having a significant role in God's sovereign plan and purpose? When we understand sovereignty in a biblical way, we can live, not as passive pawns in a cosmic chess match, but as key partners in God's great purpose in the earth, sealed with the Spirit of God, reflecting our Savior-King, and bringing glory to our Father. This is true, not only during our easy days, but maybe even more evident in our days of difficulty. (Note: This message was shared as the Spokane Complex Fires continued to burn around the city and region.)

The sermon establishes Jesus Christ as the sole head of the universal church, which is defined as His body composed of all believers. It contrasts this biblical truth with local assembly structures and critiques denominational errors like Calvinism and Landmarkism that distort scriptural clarity. The speaker emphasizes that pastoral authority is one of oversight and example rather than domination, urging congregants to submit to Christ's rule for spiritual nourishment and unity. By examining Ephesians and 1 Corinthians, the text affirms that every believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit and integrated into this single global body. Ultimately, the message calls for faithful adherence to Scripture over human tradition or democratic processes in church governance.

We were blessed to welcome Caleb Speer as our guest speaker for our annual Youth for God Weekend. In this lesson, Caleb opens God's Word to Ephesians 1–2, reminding us that we were made for more than simply existing—we were created in Christ for His purpose and His glory. Caleb challenges our teens (and all of us) to find our identity in Jesus, embrace God's mission, and live out the good works He has prepared for us. Before this lesson, Caleb spent time getting to know our teens through games, conversations, and fellowship, making this weekend a meaningful time of encouragement, growth, and spiritual connection. Key Scripture:

What is Paul's letter to the Ephesians about? It's about the blessings that are ours in Christ, the gracious God who gives them to us, and how to respond to God's grace in your life.

What if being chosen came with no catch, no fine print, no too-good-to-be-true fee waiting on the other side? In this sermon based on verses from Ephesians 1, we are reminded of the glorious news that God chose us before the creation of the world, not for anything we've done, but simply because He loves us. It's an invitation to rest in the truth that we are holy and blameless children of the King, redeemed through the blood of Christ.Vicar Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith on August 2, 2026.Intro/Outro Music: "Depth of Field" by David Hilowitz

Evil still exists in the world, but Jesus conquers it in a way no human ruler ever has. Rather than defeating His enemies through force, He transforms them through agape, the self-sacrificing love that seeks another person's good at personal cost. This is the love displayed at the cross, where God stepped into human history and gave His life as a sacrifice for sin. The early church in Ephesus demonstrated this love in ways that turned the ancient world upside down, and the same victory is still unfolding today. Every act of foster care, forgiveness, prison ministry, or disaster relief is King Jesus continuing to conquer through His people. Agape is not a feeling. It is a decision, and it is the most powerful force in human history.Support the show

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.

A Blessed Life Now, with More to Come | A Reflective Walk Through Ephesians, pt. 3   Ephesians 1:3-14 contains Paul's prayer of thanksgiving and praise for all the spiritual blessings we have in Christ. By listening to it, we learn what Paul's idea of a blessed life is. We also see that what God has given us in Christ speaks deeply to our human longing for meaning and value and we learn that as blessed as we already are in Christ, there's still more to come. Praise God for all he has done for us and will do for us in the world to come.    Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net   Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/   The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com   Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, X, via email.

When the church sets aside every boast and embraces God's ancient plan of grace, she sings with all her heart for God's glory alone.
