What does it mean to be chosen by God? How does this impact our everyday lives? The book of Ephesians gives us a profound insight into the blessings we have in Christ, starting with the incredible truth that we are chosen, adopted, and loved beyond measure.Paul's letter to Ephesus is a reminder of the profound theological richness of our salvation. Ephesians 1:1-14, particularly verses 4-6, paint a picture of blessings that transcend the temporary and ground us in eternal truths. We're reminded that God chose us even before the creation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), showcasing that our salvation rests entirely on His grace, not our merit. Being chosen means more than just being singled out; it implies being loved and predestined for an incredible journey with God. This election is not a mystery to divide but a truth to marvel at. Paul assures us that we're adopted into God's family (Ephesians 1:5) and are recipients of His intimate love, intended to bring us close and shape us into the likeness of Christ. In our mission to become passionate followers of Jesus, we understand that His love isn't just a past event but a current reality shaping our lives day by day. As Paul emphasizes, all of this is for the praise of His glorious grace (Ephesians 1:6). It leads us to marvel at God's love and encourages us not to grow cold in our love for Him and one another.If today's message stirs your heart or raises questions, we'd love to connect and walk alongside you on this journey.

This week on the Calvary Church Podcast, we open our new Christmas series, The Whimsy of Christmas. In a season filled with wonder, joy, and sacred mystery, we begin by looking back—way back—to a moment when the world was waiting in silence.For 400 years, God's people lived through what's often called the Intertestamental Period: four centuries without a prophet, without fresh Scripture, without a clear word from heaven. It was a time of longing, questions, and quiet anticipation.And then—Christ was born.In this opening message, “The End of the Beginning,” Pastor Nick explores how the birth of Jesus didn't simply start the Christmas story; it brought an end to an era of silence. The arrival of Christ broke through the stillness with hope, light, and the promise that God had been working all along—even when He seemed quiet.Join us as we rediscover the whimsy and wonder of Christmas, and remember that God often does His best work in the silence.Subscribe, share, and celebrate the season with us!

Paul's ministry in Acts 19 shows him entering a spiritually crowded Ephesus, much like our own cities filled not with statues but with modern idols such as success, escapism, image, control, and certainty. Pastor Nick reminds us that these quiet “gods” shape our priorities and identities, but when Jesus enters a life, false gods inevitably fall. He invites the church to receive the Spirit's work, lay down competing idols, and embrace the better story Jesus offers. #Acts19 #ModernIdols #RiseSeries #JesusTransforms #HeartCheck
