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.

Sermon preached by Joshua Ashwill on 1/18/2026 on Ephesians 1:11-14.
In our last teaching from Ephesians 1, we saw how Christians are chosen, adopted, redeemed, enlightened, designated, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. These are unchangeable blessings that define our identity in Christ. Here we look at Paul's gratitude for the Ephesians' faith and love, which are expressed in action, not just belief or feeling. Paul's prayer urges us to embody these truths as the united body of Christ.

God sees us as his chosen masterpiece through grace alone, not our efforts. This truth transforms how we approach life, relationships, and purpose. Listen now and be inspired to embrace your true identity and live with confidence in God's love.
Pastor Jim walks through Ephesians 1 to show that salvation is not just about rescuing individuals but about forming a new family under Christ. Drawing from Paul's rich language of adoption, blessing, and spiritual inheritance, Jim reminds us that God has intentionally chosen and pursued us in love, not just to save us from sin but to bring us into a people united in Christ. Rather than approaching Ephesians as a theological puzzle to solve, Jim encourages listeners to soak in the beauty of God's heart, the depth of our spiritual blessings, and the ultimate purpose of uniting all things in Jesus to the praise of God's glory. This message challenges believers to lift their eyes beyond individual spirituality and embrace the Church as God's heaven-meets-earth family on mission.
In Part 1 of his series on Ephesians, Rabbi Schiller looks at the blessings we have if we're “in” Messiah Y'Shua, including Adoption & Redemption; how we're responsible for our choices; and how we can know we have these blessings if His grace is glorious and beautiful to you and captures your heart.

What do you consider to be your greatest blessing? Find out with Tim Moore and Nathan Jones on Christ in Prophecy Radio!
Living in a troubled world as we do, we often have to face many perplexing issues that come our way. But what a comfort is provided us by the Word of God. In Psalm 46 we read, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear ...” We trust that this searching meditation will be uplifting and encouraging to you as a believer in Christ. If you don't yet know Christ as your Saviour, you need to obey the gospel message – acknowledge your sinfulness before a holy God and accept His provision through Christ's death on the cross as your sinless substitute. Only then will you receive the spiritual life you need to fully appreciate the full blessing of such beautiful psalms where God can speak to you personally.
What spiritual blessings do Christians have in Christ?
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike looks at Romans 15:22–33 and focuses on the generosity Paul encouraged among believers. Paul reminded the churches that just as they had received spiritual blessings from others, they also owed it to share their material blessings in return. This partnership between believers showed the unity of the body of Christ and helped advance the gospel. In the same way, we are called to support God's work generously , using our financial resources to bless others and further His mission around the world.

Spiritual Blessings | Blessed | Part 2 This morning we continued our series, Blessed, with a powerful message from Senior Pastor David Dwight. The ultimate blessing is not the granting of what we asked of God, but the intimacy with Him that grew in the years we prayed for that miracle, longed for that financial stability, ached for the restoration of those relationships, or cried for the healing of mental and physical illnesses. Whatever draws us closer to God is, in the truest sense, a blessing. He is our prize. As followers of Jesus, we live by a gospel-shaped value system — not the world's. What culture might see only as hardship, we see as an invitation to experience the richness of God's kindness and grace more fully. At the core of every longing is a deeper desire for God Himself, even when we don't realize it. And it's in the struggles and in the waiting that He grows our relationship with Him, knowing that the joy to come will be magnified beyond what we could ever hope for or imagine.
"In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory."
