Unclaimed Spiritual Blessings | Paige Clingenpeel | May 11, 2025
This message highlights seven spiritual blessings (found in Ephesians 1:11-14): we are chosen, predestined, and included in God's redemptive plan to glorify Him. Through faith, we are made part of His family, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and given the Spirit as a guarantee of our future inheritance. These truths give purpose, assurance, and a call to live for God's glory. Part Three Ephesians Series “Spiritual Blessings (Part Two)” (Ephesians 1:11-14) Pastor Bill Young May 10 & 11, 2025
JESUS GAVE AND SENT US WITH THEM!
Ephesians 1:3-14 gives us a big picture of what God is calling His people into.
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.
Paul reminds Believers in Ephesians 1:3–10 that we are spiritually loaded with blessings. We are chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, and promised a glorious future — all because we are in Christ. Yet, many Christians live like spiritual paupers, obsessed with temporary earthly blessings instead of eternal riches. Our calling is to recognize, rejoice in, and actually live out the vast spiritual wealth God has already given us.

Being Able To See Spiritual Blessings | Pastor M.L. Whitlock
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.

Our Glorious Inheritance // 3-23-25
We have a lens that interprets all that we hear and read. Scripture has a lens over it from 400 years of theological battles and 200 years of American culture. These two can distort what Scripture actually says. In this text we look at the Bible's Greatest Hit and if we hear this song Scripture sounds amazing.
Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals the radical truth that all believers—Jews and Gentiles alike—share equally in God's abundant grace and eternal inheritance. Through Christ, God has lavishly blessed us with every spiritual blessing, completely transforming our identity and purpose. As humanity finds unity in Christ, all creation itself awaits its ultimate restoration and fullness in Him.
Paul's letter to the Ephesians reveals the radical truth that all believers—Jews and Gentiles alike—share equally in God's abundant grace and eternal inheritance. Through Christ, God has lavishly blessed us with every spiritual blessing, completely transforming our identity and purpose. As humanity finds unity in Christ, all creation itself awaits its ultimate restoration and fullness in Him.
Immeasurably More // FramedEphesians 3:14-20 (ESV)“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.”Here is Paul's Prayer• I pray that from His unlimited resources, He will empower you with inner strength - with deep fortitude - by his spirit.• As we trust in Him, Christ will take up residence in us (not just drop by every now and then).• Then our roots will grow down into the depth of God's love and will keep us strong.• And when it comes to understanding that love - may we know the scope of it and experience it. In this letter, Paul has continuously pointed us and all people to the generosity of God in Christ. • Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed with every Spiritual Blessing in Christ• Ephesians 1:7-8 - Riches of Grace - lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding • Ephesians 1:18 - Riches of His Glorious Inheritance • Ephesians 2:5 - God is Rich in Mercy• Ephesians 2:7 - Incomparable Riches of His Grace• Ephesians 3:8 - Unsearchable Riches of ChristThis is Paul's prayer and mine for us today…That we may know, and in turn experience, and then lean in to and ultimately live out of this vast love of God. This love is expressed in John 3:16-17 (ESV)“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”This love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (ESV) “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.”This love is given dimension here in Ephesians 3• Infinitely long and high and wide and deep - more so than we can ever understand fully…• And Paul says the love of God is “too great for us to understand fully.”• There is nowhere we can go that we are out of the scope of his presence and therefore nowhere we can go where we are out of the scope of his love, for “God is love” (1 John 4:8 and 16) and as the psalmist says in Psalm 139 “where can I go from your presence.”• Are we willing to allow this love of God to encapsulate us - to frame us - to define us? If not why not? Guilt, shame, doubt, etc.Are we willing to allow this love to transform us?When we take a look at people around us, we don't have an excuse to look at people outside of this frame. Are we willing to love even as we have been loved (John 13:34)? The love of God for humanity is infinitely long and high and wide and deep.So… here's a searching question for each of us…Who do we need to reframe? Where do we need to start?May our love and the way we live be the testament to the love of Christ and may his love lived out through us be the agent of transformation in our world. Our part really is to be awake to these truths, willing to live in and practice these truths and expectant of God to do the immeasurably more than we can even begin to imagine!

In Christ we have become God's special possession. We exist for Him and His glory. We have become this because God in His sovereignty has predestined us to this end. As a result of knowing the God who controls all things and what He has done for us through the Cross we can trust Him. The more we know of His character and love for us the more we will enjoy him. The more we enjoy Him the more His name will be praised. This is the chief end of man, and this is why he has made us His. To enjoy Him and glorify Him. As a result of being God's special possession, we have an inheritance to look forward to. He has given us His Spirit as a guarantee of this. Yet, we will ultimately obtain this when He completes his redemption of us and we inherit heaven. There we will fully enjoy God for all of eternity.

Spiritual blessings can be easily misunderstood. But when understood biblically, it has significant ramifications for how God's people engage with God, each other, and the world. Listen in to hear more.
go to www.TheSecondAdam.com “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” — Ephesians 1:3 (NIV) Ephesians 1:3 reveals an incredible truth: God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. These blessings are not theoretical or distant—they are real and available. But how do we activate them and experience their transformative power in our lives? Let's explore this through a biblical lens. 1. Understand What Spiritual Blessings Are The phrase "spiritual blessings" encompasses all the divine riches God has poured out through Christ. These include: Salvation: The forgiveness of sins and eternal life. (Ephesians 1:7) Adoption: Being welcomed into God's family as His children. (Ephesians 1:5) The Holy Spirit: Our guide, comforter, and seal of God's promises. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Peace, Joy, and Wisdom: Fruits of living in alignment with God's Word. Spiritual blessings are not material wealth or worldly success; they are deeper, eternal treasures that align us with God's purpose. 2. Activate Spiritual Blessings Through Faith Faith is the key that unlocks God's promises. Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.” Believe: Trust that God's blessings are already yours in Christ. You don't need to earn them—they are a gift of grace. Receive: Open your heart and mind to accept what God has already given. Action Step: Spend time meditating on Ephesians 1. Personalize the promises by declaring, “I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” 3. Seek Intimacy with Christ Spiritual blessings are “in Christ.” This means they flow from your relationship with Him. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit” (John 15:5). Pray Consistently: Prayer is your direct connection to God. Read Scripture: God's Word reveals His will and deepens your relationship with Him. Worship: Praise God for who He is and what He has done. Action Step: Dedicate daily time to connect with Jesus through prayer, Bible reading, and worship. 4. Walk in Obedience Obedience to God's Word positions you to fully experience His blessings. James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” Surrender: Give every area of your life to God, trusting His plan is better than your own. Act on God's Promises: Faith without works is dead (James 2:17). Step out in faith, trusting that God will meet you. Action Step: Identify one area of your life where you need to align more closely with God's Word and take steps to obey Him today. 5. Activate Blessings Through Praise and Thanksgiving Ephesians 1:3 begins with praise: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...” Gratitude is a powerful activator of God's blessings. Praise for the Past: Thank God for the blessings you've already received. Praise for the Present: Worship Him for His presence in your life now. Praise for the Future: Express faith in the blessings yet to be revealed. Action Step: Start a gratitude journal. Write down three blessings each day and thank God for them. 6. Rely on the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is the seal and guarantee of our inheritance in Christ (Ephesians 1:13-14). He empowers, teaches, and reminds us of God's promises. Listen: Spend time in silence, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Follow: When prompted by the Spirit, act in faith. Trust: Depend on the Spirit to guide you into truth and help you activate your blessings. Action Step: Pray daily for the Holy Spirit to fill you and lead you. Conclusion: Step Into Your Inheritance Ephesians 1:3 declares that you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Activating these blessings requires faith, intimacy with God, obedience, praise, and reliance on the Holy Spirit. As you align your thoughts, words, and actions with God's promises, you'll begin to experience the fullness of His blessings in your life. God's blessings are not just for the future—they are for now. Today is the day to step into your spiritual inheritance. Trust Him, praise Him, and walk boldly in the blessings He has already provided. Reflection Questions: What spiritual blessings are you most grateful for today? In what area of your life do you need to trust God more to activate His promises? How can you deepen your relationship with Christ to experience His blessings more fully? Take time to reflect and ask God to help you walk in the fullness of what He has already given you.
In the message, "EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING," Pastor Rich Whitter reflects on Ephesians 1:1-3, setting the tone for the first Sunday of the year by focusing on the immeasurable blessings found in Christ. This passage introduces Paul's letter with a declaration of God's generosity, highlighting that believers are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Pastor Rich emphasizes the importance of starting the year grounded in the assurance of God's abundant grace and purpose for our lives. The message underscores how these blessings are not tied to earthly wealth or status but are eternal gifts rooted in our relationship with Christ. Pastor Rich invites us to consider the richness of being chosen, redeemed, and empowered by God to walk in His will. The phrase “every spiritual blessing” reminds us that nothing is lacking for those in Christ—we are equipped for the journey ahead through God's provision. Paul's greeting in verse 2, “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,” serves as a powerful reminder of the foundation of our faith: grace that saves and peace that sustains. As we embark on a new year, Pastor Rich calls us to live with gratitude, acknowledging the spiritual riches we possess and allowing them to shape our perspective, priorities, and prayers. We hope this message encourages you to step into the year with confidence in God's sufficiency, seeking to embrace His blessings and extend His grace to others as you walk in faith and purpose.
