All Spiritual Blessings

(Ephesians 4:1-6) Someone once said that churches are more like goat pens than sheepfolds because the people are always butting heads.  It's not supposed to be that way!  Even so, unity is not our goal.  Unity is the byproduct of being in step with the Holy Spirit.  May God help us to humbly submit to the Spirit so that we may enjoy unity in the bond of peace.

(Ephesians 3:20-21) God's power is able to do the impossible.  It's abundant enough to accomplish more than we can ask or think.  It's aim or purpose is to reveal the glory of God.  When we pray and when we serve, especially in the church, are we seeking the power of God so that His glory is revealed or do we have other motives?

(Ephesians 3:14-19) If you're going to know, understand, and appreciate Divine Love, you have to know God.  In a world of hatred and cheap substitutes for love, the only way to know the genuine article is to know God himself and allow the God of love to work in you.  God's love touches every part of life. Ask the Lord to help you experience and comprehend more the unsearchable love of God in Christ Jesus. (05504211206) 

(Ephesians 3:1-13) Can you think of anything we need more in these times than God's wisdom?  Sin, at it's core, is ignorance of God.  Salvation, at it's core, is the wisdom of God - leaving the insanity of sin and coming into Divine Wisdom.  God's infinite wisdom is effectual, unsearchable, eternal, and, understandable by faith.  What a tremendous spiritual blessing it is!

(Ephesians 2:18-22) The word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, but the thrice-holy God is.  The Godhead is the Biblical expression for the trinity.  Ephesians is full of the doctrine of the trinity, and knowing the Triune God is one of the great spiritual blessings we enjoy. (05502211202) 

(Ephesians 2:1-17) God wants you to live today in His grace, in His victory, in His power, believing that yesterday is under the blood and tomorrow is hopeful because of Jesus Christ.  He is the God of all time who is greater than our past, gives life in the present, and provides hope for the future! (05501211201) 

(Ephesians 1:15-23) If you're a Christian, you're rich!  You may not be wealthy by the world's standards, but you have a family inheritance.  You have the Father's resources now and His riches forevermore.  Be sure you're part of the family of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Ephesians 1:3-14) This is our second day looking at God's "run on sentence."  Why would He use this particular grammatical structure? Perhaps it's because we cannot fully describe the depths of what we have as members of the family of God.  They are without end.  In this single sentence, we learn of the spiritual blessings received from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (05498211126) 

(Ephesians 1:3-14) In Paul's language, Ephesians 1:3-14 is one continuous long sentence.  The entire "run-on sentence" demonstrates that of all the spiritual blessings we have in Christ, the chief blessing is that we've been made part of the family of God!  This long sentence begins with grace and ends with the glory of God.  (05497211125) 

(Ephesians 1:1-3) The introductory verses to Ephesians reveal the word "blessing" from two different directions.  God pours out His blessings on us, and there is another blessing that we give back to Him.  Regardless of our current circumstances, we always have reason to bless the Lord!
