Today's Promise: Ephesians 3:1 You are more blessed than you realize. In this encouraging episode, we explore the powerful truth of Ephesians 1:3 and what it really means to be blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. This is not wishful thinking. It is a present reality grounded in God's love and grace. Discover how the Holy Spirit is actively working in your life right now, bringing favor, purpose, and strength in every season.

No matter what you are facing today, you can walk in His blessing and trust that He is moving on your behalf. Take hold of this promise and step into the fullness of what God has already given you.
Welcome to this week's episode of the Carpe Fide podcast. We usually sit down to record together, but due to some unexpected audio issues, we are sharing a powerful recent sermon from Justin instead. In this message, titled "Every Spiritual Blessing: Unending Grace," Justin dives into Ephesians 1:7c–8a to explore the incomprehensible nature of God's unmerited favor. While human beings naturally define grace as giving from our limited, finite possessions—much like John D. Rockefeller handing out mere dimes from his vast wealth—God operates on a completely different scale. He gives strictly according to His limitless riches, pouring out an influx of grace so massive that it totally destabilizes humanity's finite concepts of economy, just as Mansa Musa's wealth disrupted the gold standard. We invite you to listen, allow God's kindness to lead you to repentance, and rejoice in the inexhaustible vault of unending grace provided by our loving Father.

What is the result of salvation? The salvation which is in Jesus Christ is a full and abundant salvation, and there is literally no end to the blessings which it offers to us. It is a place of fulness of blessing, of all-sufficiency, of final satisfaction.
Welcome back to the Carpe Fide podcast! For this episode, we are taking a brief break from our usual programming to share a special sermon recently preached at Missio Dei Church. In this message, we dive deep into Ephesians 1:7 to explore the incredible spiritual gift of redemption. The sermon examines the believer's profound transition from the infinite past of being chosen by God into the immediate present reality of living fully "in Him". You will hear an exposition on what it truly means to be ransomed from a state of total slavery to sin and brought into total freedom—purchased not with perishable things like silver or gold, but through the precious, shed blood of Christ. We also explore the breathtaking biblical reality of complete forgiveness, looking at how God has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west, wiped them out like a thick fog, and cast them into the unreachable depths of the ocean where they are remembered no more. Finally, this message challenges us to leave behind any lingering guilt or shame, encouraging us to approach God's throne boldly as His children and to live out our days as "happy, glad warriors for righteousness". Tune in to be reminded of the eternal freedom, transformed identity, and joyful purpose we have been given in Jesus!

Ephesians 1:3-14 is a powerful song of praise and adoration to the Triune God. Paul's single paragraph of praise to the Father for the blessings so richly lavished on us in the Son and through the Spirit gives us every reason to sing, to praise, to worship, and to live for our God. Purposed before time by the Father, secured in real time by the Son, and sealed for all time by the Spirit, the saving purpose of the Triune God cannot and will not be hindered. This gospel of God is unstoppable. Listen to this second Sunday in our five part series, God's Unhindered Word: Fifty Years and Counting. Danny Brooks was Heritage's preaching pastor from 1998–2016 and is now the pastor for preaching at Gospel Hope Church in Riverton, Utah.
What does it actually mean to have “every spiritual blessing” in Christ?In Week 4 of our Ephesians series, we look closely at Ephesians 1:3 and unpack what Paul means when he says God “has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”This message challenges a common assumption: that blessing is mainly about health, comfort, or success. Paul points us somewhere deeper. The greatest blessings aren't physical. They're spiritual. They're rooted in who we are in Christ.In this sermon we explore:Why God's blessing comes before our praiseThe difference between physical and spiritual blessingWhat it means to be “in Christ”The role of the Holy Spirit in our livesWhy no curse, accusation, or past failure defines youHow Romans 8 anchors our identity in the love of GodIf you've ever felt defined by your past, weighed down by shame, or afraid of what's been spoken over your life, this message is for you.If you are in Christ, you are not cursed.You are not abandoned.You are not defined by what's been done to you.You are blessed. And nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
In this message, Nathan introduces a new teaching series on the book of Ephesians, and urges the church to read the letter slowly and repeatedly so that God's word can "dwell in them richly" and transform their lives. He takes the church on a overview of the massive spiritual blessings found in Ephesians 1, such as being chosen, adopted as God's children, and forgiven. He then emphasises that these blessings are only possible because we are "in Christ," a concept explained through simple metaphors like being a branch rooted in a tree or a passenger safe inside a plane heading to its destination.

In this sermon, Justin dives into the deep theological waters of Ephesians 1:5-6 to explore the tension of divine election and the overwhelming reality of God's grace. Have you ever found yourself wanting to "pause" the Bible's song of praise to lodge a formal complaint with the Creator about fairness?. We tackle the struggle of our finite minds trying to grasp infinite truths, shifting the cultural question of "How dare God choose?" to the truly shocking biblical question: "How dare God save?". Discover why God's plan of salvation and adoption existed before the foundation of the world, why He took "good pleasure" in redeeming us while we were still His enemies, and how Jesus, the Beloved, makes us recipients of "grace upon grace". It's time to stop arguing with the Manager, unpause the music, and sing along with the doxology of His glorious grace!.

We have another sermon for you this week! Why settle for the "crumbs" of religious entertainment when the Master has invited us to the actual meal? In this exposition of Ephesians 1:4, we confront the weight and glory of the doctrine of Election. Before the stars existed or the foundations of the world were laid, God chose a people—not based on merit or data, but in the sufficient counsel of His own will,. This episode challenges us to stop building "finite mud kingdoms" and go to war against the distractions that compete for our worship, inviting us to find the ultimate joy of standing holy and blameless before our Father.

Message by Pastor Doug Bunnell, recorded live October 5, 2025 at First Presbyterian Church of Bellingham. Scripture read by Lynn Schuman.Every Spiritual Blessing We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing, live Kingdom abundance. According to verse 3, what has God blessed us with, and where? How often is the phrase “in Christ” or “in Him” used in this passage? What might be its significance?How does knowing you are “chosen, adopted, and redeemed” affect your identity and daily life?In what areas of life do you need to trust more fully in the Holy Spirit as your guarantee?What spiritual blessings do you sometimes overlook or take for granted?How might this passage shape your prayers or worship? Ephesians 1:3-14 1 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5 He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight 9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14 this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of his glory.
This is the last of five studies on the topic Unstoppable Divine Blessings. Our primary focus is in the letter to the Ephesians 1:3-14 which begins, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. These blessings in Christ are revealed to have been planned before the foundation of the world and are many. These blessings are in Christ bring us to the place of seeking His kingdom over any other and cause us to praise Him for His glorious grace. The study concludes by highlighting the seven beatitudes contained in the Revelation of St John the Divine. The final beatitude describes those who have had their robes washed in the blood of the Lamb as blessed with the right to the tree of life and to enter the city by the gates where we joyful worship our triune God.
Through His grace, God gives us the ability to be settled with peace, and He gives us this new identity to be set apart to Him.

Proverbs 10:22 reminds us that being rich goes beyond money. God's blessing makes us rich in every area - spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The blessing is a powerful spiritual force, like a tornado or an ocean, capable of creating, transforming, and elevating lives. It doesn't bring sorrow, even when the process involves pain.Having a strong awareness of your covenant with God positions you for victory. When you move in the name of Jesus, you witness mighty things. Joshua 1:8 teaches that meditation transforms God's Word from mere information to deep revelation.Faith is not wishful thinking - it's confidently standing on God's promises. Christ took the curse so that we can walk in the blessing. Spiritual blessings may be unseen, but they are actively working. We have been chosen, adopted, and redeemed through Christ. We are blessed with Abraham's blessing, and by believing, the force of the blessing follows us everywhere.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Malachi 3:6 – God Never Changes. Ephesians 1:3 – I have Every Spiritual Blessing. Genesis 1:27 – I am Created in God's Image. John 7:39 – You Have the Holy Spirit in You. Psalm 103:8 – God Abounds in Commitment Love.
Today's Promise: Ephesians 1:3 You are blessed. It's a fact. God has blessed you! He has poured out every spiritual blessing on you through His love and grace. To be blessed by God is to walk in His favor. It is allowing God to bring about good things in your life. The phrase "spiritual blessings" in this promise isn't referring to the blessing we receive when we get to heaven. Instead, spiritual blessings are the blessing brought to you through the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.
