So Blessed Ephesians 1

Watch Pastor Brandon this week as he starts our new series, Made New. In this week's message - coming from our Lake Worth Campus for the FIRST TIME - Brandon talks about how the Bible shows that change in our lives IS possible through a relationship with the living God.

What would you pray for if you knew God would say yes? In Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul prays not for external fixes but for inner strength, Christ dwelling in our hearts, and being rooted in love. True faith leads us to know His love that transforms us beyond what we can imagine. Prayer isn't just asking for things—it's connecting with a God who can do far more than we ask or think. Join us as we learn to pray for real change in us.

We will never fully experience life In Christ until we fully surrender all of our life to Him.  Join us in our series “Made New” as we examine the truth from scripture that, In Christ we are given a New Kingdom Position, a New Kingdom Identity, and a Kingdom Purpose.

What's the secret to real boldness? Closeness to God. Ephesians 3:11-15 says we have boldness and access with confidence in Christ. The closer we are to God, the bolder we become—in prayer, speech, and action. Don't lose heart when culture pushes back. Instead, focus on what God is doing in you. Paul's answer? Pray. Bow before the Father with faith and humility. Where does your confidence truly lie? Let's get bold in Christ.

In this Bible Story, God heals a foreign warrior plagued with leprosy, and who turns down by the King of Israel. Elisha sees this as a perfect opportunity to show all the nations that the Lord is a Lord of healing and power. Naaman is refreshed in the cool water of the Jordan River. As he bathes himself in the river, his sick and dying flesh is replaced with new life. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 5:1-14. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 5:14 from the King James Version.Episode 133: Naaman, now joyfully and powerfully aware of God, rushed to Elisha to proclaim his allegiance to the God of Israel and to give gifts to Elisha. But Elisha would take no gifts for this was a generous act of God. So Naaman departed with dirt from Israel so that he may worship The God of Israel, in his home country. But even in such a moment of joy, evil was at work. Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, gave in to his greed and pursued Naaman for gifts of his own. Little did he know that God saw this and made it known to his master. Gehazi and his descendants would be forced to carry the consequences of his actions forever.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

If you're a camp counselor, teacher, or parent, you know that endless “why” questions can test your patience! Sometimes the answer is simple: “Because I said so.” But when life itself gets confusing, it's not always that easy. In Ephesians 3:1-7, Paul explains why he's suffering, why things look out of control, and why God's plan is better than we imagined. He writes from house arrest in Rome, not as a prisoner of Caesar but as a prisoner of Christ Jesus, all for the sake of the Gentiles.

Baptism is powerful. It's fundamental. It gets listed alongside Jesus and faith. But why? Why should I be so eager to be baptised, and what actually happens when I am? 

In today's episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, Jackie shares a deeply personal and timely message for women navigating seasons of change. If relationships in your life have started to shift—from family to friendships to intimate connections—this conversation will offer a grounded, faith-based perspective on what it really means to be made new. Jackie opens up about a recent moment with her mother that revealed just how much is changing in her life—and how these shifts, while painful, are part of a bigger process of spiritual refinement. She explores how co-dependency doesn't just show up in romantic partnerships, but often begins in our earliest family dynamics. Through tapping, prayer, and surrender, Jackie invites you to reconnect with the only steady, unchanging relationship: your relationship with God. Inside this episode, you'll hear: How foundational relationships are shifting and why it's part of your growth Why God creates space not to punish you, but to prepare you The difference between healthy support and co-dependency A tapping prayer + activation on the affirmation: "I Am Being Made New" Signs your new self is already showing up in your life This is your reminder that you are not being abandoned—you are being anchored. Not being punished—but prepared. If this episode resonates with you, we invite you to join the 21 Days of Tapping, Prayer & Affirmations or the Make It Happen Membership for weekly spiritual tapping activations that align you with who you are becoming.

What does it really mean to be the Church—not just attend one or have your name on a membership roll? In this message from Ephesians 2, we're reminded that the Church is more than a place or a program—it's the body of Christ, made up of people who were once far from God but have been brought near by His grace. Paul walks us through what the Church is not (divided, hopeless, without God) before showing us what Jesus has made it to be: unified, at peace, and built together into a dwelling place for God. A healthy church breaks down walls, embraces peace, and focuses on being over doing.

Have you ever felt like you had to earn your worth—your place, your purpose, even your salvation? This message from Ephesians 2 is a reminder that you don't have to earn what God gives freely. We look at the story of Watchman Nee, who gave his life for the gospel, and how God's grace made him—and makes us—alive, raised up, and seated with Christ. In a world that rewards performance, God offers grace first. No proving. No striving. Just receiving. And then He invites us into a life of good work—not to get saved, but because we are saved. If you've been struggling to believe you're enough or wondering what your purpose is, this message is for you.

In Ephesians 5, Paul calls us to live like we've actually been made new—to walk in love, not in the dark. This message challenges us to stop stumbling through life hiding in shame, secrecy, and self-medication, and instead step boldly into the light of God's love. We're reminded that real freedom doesn't come through performance, perfection, or numbing behaviors—it comes through surrender, honesty, and a Spirit-filled life. God's love doesn't expose us to embarrass us—it exposes what's been hurting us so He can heal it. Tonight's call is simple but bold: let the light in, walk in love, and live like the new creation you are.You weren't made for the dark. Shame hides. Love heals.God's not exposing you to embarrass you—He's exposing what's been hurtingyou so He can heal it.Step into the light and let God's love transform what fear has kept hidden.#WalkInLove #MadeNew #CedarPointRecovery #FromDarknessToLight

Recovery isn't just hard—it's warfare. And too often, we're exhausted not because we're weak, but because we're fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapons. In Ephesians 6, Paul reminds us that our struggle isn't against people, pasts, or emotions—it's against a spiritual enemy with real strategies. But God hasn't left us unarmed. He's given us the armor of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and His Word. This message calls us to stop shadowboxing, suit up daily, and start fighting from our position in Christ. The battle is real, but so is the victory—and it's time we fought like we believe it.

We officially launch our new name — Made New Fellowship — with outdoor worship, baptisms, testimonies, communion, and a summer kick-off celebration. Pastor James delivered a message titled Made New in Christ as we celebrate lives transformed by Jesus.

What Ephesians 2:1 (NIV)  //  As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins Ephesians 2:2-3  //  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. Flesh - Greek word for flesh (sarx) - carnal, carnally minded, fleshly Living according to the flesh leads to DEATH Romans 7:15-20  //  I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. How "Your tolerance for tensions determines your potential for growth." - Steven Furtick Stop praying for a tension-free life and start praying for purpose in that tension. Ephesians 2:12-13  //  remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Who Ephesians 2:14a  //  “For He Himself is our peace…” Ephesians 2:19  //  Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household How to live NEW Die to the old Stop trying to be better We're not called to be better, we're called to be NEW Live NEW Born again

Where does evil really come from? The world says the problem is broken systems and corrupt institutions. But the Bible says the problem is in us, and the solution is outside of us. Ephesians 2:1-5 reminds us that even when we are at our worst, God steps in with mercy and grace. This message is about the power of two life-changing words: BUT GOD. No matter how hopeless things may feel, there's nothing a "But God" can't fix.

On this episode, Pastor Jack takes a question from our audience about being a virgin who's been saving themselves for marriage and wonders if it's biblically acceptable to marry someone with a sexual past. God’s grace has the power to transform any life, regardless of their past deeds. When we surrender our hearts to Him, He restores our identity, making us new creations in Christ. (00:00) Christianity, Fornication, and Relationships(09:19) Past and Redemption in Relationships CONNECT WITH PASTOR JACK:Website: https://jackhibbs.com/ Instagram: http://bit.ly/2FCyXpO Facebook: https://bit.ly/2WZBWV0 YouTube:  https://bit.ly/437xMHn DAZE OF DECEPTION BOOK:https://jackhibbs.com/daze-of-deception/CALLED TO TAKE A BOLD STAND PRE-ORDER:https://tinyurl.com/33d5dpaj Did you know we have a Real Life Network?

Sermon for the Fifth Sunday of Easter

Pastor James shares a powerful message on our call to go: not just to believe, but to be sent. As part of our Made New series, we're leaning into the core value of going: sending disciples to make disciples.

Pastor David Dietzel talks about confidence in The Great Commission.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel:https://youtu.be/y3jtjXdqY7Y

Acts 9:1–6 NLT1 Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord's followers. So he went to the high priest.2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains.3 As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him.4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”5 “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting!6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” KEY #1 - NEW LIGHT. NEW LORD.Acts 9:3-4 NLT“As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground…”Acts 9:4b-5 NLT“He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?' ‘Who are you, lord?' Saul asked. And the voice replied, ‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting!'” Key #2 - New Faith. New Fire.Acts 9:18-20 NLT“Instantly something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized. Afterward he ate some food and regained his strength. Saul stayed with the believers in Damascus for a few days. And immediately he began preaching about Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is indeed the Son of God!'”Matthew 5:14-16 NLT“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden... let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Key #3 - New Name. New Nature.Acts 9:21 NLT“All who heard him were amazed. ‘Isn't this the same man who caused such devastation among Jesus' followers in Jerusalem?' they asked. ‘And didn't he come here to arrest them and take them in chains to the leading priests?'”Ephesians 4:22–24 NLT“Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life… Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.”Isaiah 62:2 NLT“You will also be given a new name by the Lord's own mouth.” KEY #4 - NEW MIND. NEW MISSION.Romans 12:2 NLT“Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”Acts 9:15 NLT“But the Lord said, ‘Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel.'”

As we continue our Made New series, Pastor James unpacks our core values of discipleship and service — how we grow as followers of Jesus and step into the calling to serve and build up others.

Send us a textLife can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it's hard to see what's ahead. But here's the truth—God's not done. No matter what you're facing, He is still working, still restoring, and still making all things new. This Sunday, we'll be reminded that in Christ, the best is always yet to come.

Pastor James continues our Made New series with a message titled "Worship in the Word." We're walking through our core values as a church — this week focusing on how we're shaped by both heartfelt worship and the truth of God's Word.

Fr. Patrick preached this homily on May 18, 2025. The readings are from Acts 14:21-27, Psalm 145:8-9, 10-11, 12-13, Revelation 21:1-5a & John 13:31-33a, 34-35. — Connect with us! Website: https://slakingthirsts.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCytcnEsuKXBI-xN8mv9mkfw

Send us a textYou were never meant to just exist—you were created on purpose for a purpose. Too many people live their lives wondering if they really matter, but God has already answered that question. You were made for more than just going through the motions. This week, we'll discover how stepping into our God-given purpose changes everything.

In Week 5 of our Made New series, we dove into Ephesians 4:17–32 with a hard but freeing truth: you can't live in freedom while still wearing what you were saved from. Recovery isn't just about letting go of the old—it's about fully embracing the new life Jesus offers. We explored what it means to take off old patterns like bitterness, lust, deception, and shame, and instead put on truth, righteousness, forgiveness, and love. This transformation isn't a one-time moment—it's a daily decision to walk in the identity Christ gave us. God didn't set us free so we could stay stuck. He set us free so we could finally live. The old doesn't fit you anymore—so take it off, and walk boldly into the new you.

Explore what it means to be part of God's household — where we're not just connected, but woven together through grace, love, and shared faith. On this Mother's Day, we honor the mothers and spiritual mothers who help strengthen the fabric of God's family. Happy Mother's Day!

Send us a textYou don't need a better version of yourself—you need a brand-new heart. The world tells us that change happens from the outside in, but God works from the inside out. This week, we'll unpack how God doesn't just fix our brokenness—He replaces it with something brand new. Don't settle for surface-level change when God is offering total transformation.

Experience a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit with renewed power, deeper intimacy, and divine strength for today's assignments and tomorrow's breakthroughs.

True transformation doesn't come from grinding harder or trying to fix ourselves from the outside in—it comes from the power of the Holy Spirit working in our inner being. Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3 reveals that God's strength is available not when we're performing, but when we're surrendering. Freedom begins when we stop relying on willpower and start depending on Spirit power. Jesus doesn't want a weekend visit to our lives—He wants to move in and bring healing to the places we've hidden. And our recovery isn't rooted in fear or performance—it's anchored in the unshakable love of God.You don't need more willpower—you need more surrender. The real battle isn't out there—it's in here. And the good news? You're not alone in it. God offers you supernatural strength through His Spirit to fight what flesh never could.

In Breaking Down the Walls, we confront the hard truth that even though we've been chosen by God and raised from spiritual death, many of us are still living isolated—walled off from God, from others, and from the freedom we've been given. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2 that Jesus didn't just tear the curtain that separated us from God—He tore down every dividing wall, including the ones we build out of shame, resentment, and fear. This message challenges us to stop living like strangers in God's house and start stepping into the belonging Jesus died to give us. The walls are already down—now it's time to stop building fences and live like family.Jesus didn't just tear the curtain—He tore down every wall that kept you out. Isolation ends at the cross. You don't have to stand outside anymore. You belong here.#NoMoreWalls #MadeNew #CedarPointRecovery #FromIsolationToBelonging

Johnny Outing // To move forward as radical followers of Jesus, we need to look back at the early Church. In Acts 2, people were baptized, made new in faith, met urgent needs, and lived in deep community. They blazed a path of bold, transformative faith. In a world shaped by individualism and distraction, we're challenged to do the same—letting our faith reshape how we show up, love others, and live with purpose.Visit Our Website summitchurchfl.org Follow Us on Social Media Facebook // InstagramWatch Online Services and More YouTube Subscribe for weekly sermon podcasts!

Creativity and invention aren't words often associated with hardship and suffering, but in the Second World War women in America and Britain faced with clothes rationing rose to the challenge in many different ways.   Those days are long past, but in an era of textile super-abundance, do clothes coupons have something new to teach us about how we buy and use our clothes? Can clothes rationing help cure us of an addiction to fast fashion? In this month's episode, we hear from a well-known winner of the Great British Sewing Bee who has adopted the wartime system of coupons as a way of limiting her consumption of fabric and clothing.   Eighty years ago, Make Do and Mend became the watch-words of the day as people eked out their garments, repairing and re-making them over and over again. But clothes rationing in both countries also changed what people wore and hastened technological revolutions. In Britain many people had access to quality, well-styled clothing for the first time, and in America with luxury fibres scarce, man-made fibres entered the market much more quickly than they might otherwise have done.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/
