I hope you're doing well.Last Sunday, we kicked off our new series in Ephesians by exploring the who, what, where, when, and why of the book. We saw that in the first few verses, identity comes before behavior—we are called holy not because of what we've done, but because of our faith in Jesus. Before we do anything for Him, we are already in Him.This week, we’re diving into Ephesians 1:3–14, where we see how Paul’s theology naturally turns into doxology. As he reflects on all the Father, Son, and Spirit have done for our salvation, he bursts into praise—writing one of the longest run-on sentences in the New Testament! For Paul, deep theology always leads to deep worship.That feels especially fitting, since this Sunday we’ll also be celebrating over 30 baptisms and gathering for a worship night. My prayer is that as we sit in the truths of Ephesians 1, we would be stirred again by the beauty of the Gospel—and that our hearts would respond in joyful worship for who God is and what He’s done.Listen here!
