He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”1) Your worth is in who you are, not what you do. Your identity is rooted in Christ, not in motherhood, ministry, or performance.2) God defines your value. Whether you're busy or resting, His love for you remains the same.1 john 3:1- see what great love the father has lavished on us that we should be called children of GodRomans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us"Jeremiah 31:3 says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you out with lovingkindness"Romans 8:38-39: proclaims, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord"3) Roles can change, identity doesn't.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10

In this sermon, Pastor Steven walks through one of the most powerful passages in Scripture—Ephesians 2:1–10. He shows how Paul confronts the full reality of our condition apart from Christ—dead in sin, enslaved to the world, the flesh, and the devil—and then reveals the breathtaking hope in two words: “But God.” Through His mercy, love, and grace, God makes us alive in Christ and calls us His workmanship—reborn as a living testimony to His grace.

Series: RootedWeek 5 Title: There Is an Enemy!Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–20Big Idea: There is a real enemy who opposes God and His people—but Christ has already won the victory. We don't fight for victory; we fight from it.I. The Reality of the EnemyEvil isn't just human—it's spiritual. There is an unseen realm of darkness opposing God's Kingdom.Satan is not a myth or symbol—he is a fallen angel who rebelled against God and now seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).The devil's greatest trick is convincing the world he doesn't exist.Everything God creates, Satan counterfeits.II. The Enemy's Strategy1. Temptation to SinSatan entices believers to gratify the flesh outside of God's will.Sin becomes a stronghold when it moves from struggle to pattern.2 Corinthians 10:3–5 — take every thought captive.We defeat temptation by walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16–17).2. Accusation and LiesThe enemy is “the father of lies” (John 8:44).He twists God's Word and distorts truth to produce shame and confusion.Agreements with lies (“I am unworthy,” “God doesn't care”) must be broken by declaring God's truth.Romans 8:1 — no condemnation for those in Christ.3. Persecution and SufferingThe spirit of darkness opposes the Spirit in you.Believers worldwide face hatred and persecution (Matthew 10:22–23).Trials refine faith and earn eternal reward (James 1:12).III. The Path to VictoryVictory begins with salvation: transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God's Son (Colossians 1:13).Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13–17):Belt of truth – stand against lies.Breastplate of righteousness – guard your heart.Shoes of peace – stay grounded in the gospel.Shield of faith – extinguish doubt and fear.Helmet of salvation – protect your mind with assurance.Sword of the Spirit – strike back with the Word of God.We are protected and empowered to stand firm.The fight is not ours—it's God's.IV. Christ's TriumphColossians 2:15 — Jesus disarmed the rulers and authorities, making a public spectacle of them by the cross.The cross was not His defeat—it was His victory parade.Satan and shame are already conquered.We march in triumph behind our King.

SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 1:15-23 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Paul boldly shared the Gospel of Jesus and traveled extensively during his ministry. He now writes to the believers in Ephesus from a prison in Rome. He assures the Ephesians that he always remembers them in his prayers—both with gratitude and intercession."For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:15-16 Paul received news that their faith and love continued to grow. He tells them he prays that God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, will give them spiritual wisdom and insight.Paul wants them to understand the incredible power of God. Divine power was clearly shown in Jesus Christ's resurrection and His exaltation to the position of authority—He sits at the right hand of His Heavenly Father. Because of Christ, the Church is made whole and complete."I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe in Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms."

ShownotesHow is value measured? When we find ourselves comparing our worth with standards of the world, we can feel little or small as if we don't add up.

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Ephesians 2:4-6]

When you're young, there are probably things you're sure would never happen to you, or things you're sure you or friends would never do. But usually, as we get older, we begin to wonder whether there's any rhyme or reason to life. Scientifically, they now say life is chaotic, that there is nothing but disorder. That's both the practical and the intellectual perception. But Christianity has the most wonderful, the most sophisticated, and the most decisive answer to that perception: Jesus is King. When we see our lives and history looking chaotic, the Bible comes and says to us, “Calm down. There's an explanation.” Let me show you how the two aspects of the kingship of Christ make up this most wonderful answer: 1) Jesus Christ has a kingdom coming, and 2) Jesus is King right now of history. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 30, 1994. Series: Understanding Jesus. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9–12.

This message addresses how followers of Jesus can process a week filled with tragedy, violence, and confusion. While culture spins stories and social media fuels division, Scripture reminds us that we are living in a spiritual battle far deeper than politics or headlines. The enemy is actively working to blind, divide, and derail—but Jesus remains victorious, sovereign, and present. In this sermon, we'll look at how to view cultural chaos through God's eyes, how to respond as the Church with prayer and courage, and what it means to count the cost of following Christ in our generation.Scripture:Ephesians 6:10-12Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

DateAugust 24, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we explore how handwritten letters—from a principal's encouraging notes to students to the Apostle Paul's letters to early Christians—remind us of our true identity and purpose. Through Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we discover a profound truth: we are God's accomplishment (poiēma), masterpieces created not by our own achievements but through divine grace. This identity frees us to participate in God's work of mending what's broken in our world, one faithful act at a time.

Ephesians 4:24 says, “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” This isn't a one-time decision—it's a daily act of surrender. Every day, we get to choose whether we live in our old patterns of thinking and behaving, or step into the new identity Christ has given us.In this episode, we'll talk about what it looks like to “take off” the old self in your health journey—whether that's unhealthy habits, negative self-talk, or striving in your own strength—and instead “put on” the new self, rooted in righteousness, grace, and freedom.You'll learn:How to recognize the old patterns of behavior and thought that keep you stuckPractical steps to replace unhealthy habits with life-giving onesWhy health is more about identity in Christ than willpower or quick fixesHow to walk in daily renewal so your body and spirit align with who you truly areThis journey isn't about perfection—it's about daily surrender and transformation. When you choose to put on your new self, your health habits begin to reflect the grace and freedom you already have in Christ.

So much of our health and fitness journey isn't about food or workouts—it's about our mindset. In Ephesians 4:23, Paul reminds us to “be made new in the attitude of your minds.” That means the real transformation begins by aligning our thoughts with who we are in Christ.In this episode, we'll dig into what it looks like to take captive the lies we believe about our bodies, food, and fitness, and replace them with the truth of God's Word. If you've ever thought, “I'll never change,” “I'll always struggle,” or “I'm not enough”—this message is for you.You'll learn:Why mindset matters more than motivation in lasting healthHow to recognize thoughts that don't align with ChristPractical ways to renew your mind daily in your health journeyThe freedom that comes when you stop letting the enemy dictate your thoughtsThis isn't about striving harder—it's about surrendering your thoughts and letting God's truth reshape how you live, eat, move, and care for your body.

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Ephesians 1:7-10]

Mankind, due to Adam's fall, was not simply thrust into sin; but an existence which is also one of misery. Every aspect of our relationship with God is now impacted as a result. Today, we look at the solution presented in Christ, and the reason believers can have joy to that end.Scripture:Ephesians 2: 1-10, Acts 1: 8, Romans 12: 9, Matthew 11: 11, Matthew 3: 2,  Hebrews 9: 24-28, Romans 6: 23, Matthew 25: 41PBHB GIVEAWAY: https://www.stayreformed.com/giveawayAdditional References:Buy A Puritan Catechism: ⁠https://a.co/d/esRURdt⁠Read A Puritan Catechism: ⁠https://www.chapellibrary.org/pdf/books/cwpr.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOop_iUZJzFz_3HbHFqJUqPMbSUhhfZUx9FY_-KuyKA9_kwqb8Kh6“Human Nature in its Fourfold State”: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/boston/Human%20Nature%20in%20its%20Fourfold%20-%20Thomas%20Boston.pdf“Worldly Saints: The Puritans As They Really Were”: https://www.amazon.com/Worldly-Saints-Puritans-They-Really/dp/0310325013/The Second London Baptist Confession (1689): https://founders.org/library-book/1689-confession/https://www.chapellibrary.org/pdf/books/lbcw.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorAi1b6iCPqv94DjBcMhSSpcDOGwJrb9hXJSlgqxrFSgo9ofc0-Social Media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StayReformedTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/stayreformedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stayreformed/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stayreformedpodcast/Website: https://www.stayreformed.com/Email: contact@stayreformed.com

Consider how much of your time, how much of your life, is built around your work. Yet, so many of the books and materials that look at what it means to live as Christians only focus on our evenings and our weekends. How are we to be a Christian on the job? We're going to look at some basic principles of what God says we must do to approach our work and our jobs in a Christian way. Looking at Ephesians 6, we see that this passage knocks down two false views of work: 1) that work is a curse and leisure is the meaning of life, and 2) that work is the meaning of life. And then we'll see 3) how you get the power to transform your view and aim of work. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 3, 1991. Series: Work & Faith. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.

There are two typical approaches to work today, and both of them are wrong. Both of them cut right against what God meant work to be. One approach says, “Work is a curse—something to be endured for a paycheck.” The other approach says, “Work is my way to find self-esteem through achievement.” But the Bible, and the fourth of the Ten Commandments, shows us a different view of work. Let's see what the fourth commandment and Ephesians 6 show us about work: 1) work is not a curse; it's a calling, 2) work is not for yourself; it's for him, and 3) three things to do if you're unhappy with your job. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 22, 1989. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.
