The Power of God

July 21, 2024 | Ephesians 1.15-23 | Rob Collis

The Apostle Paul planted many churches throughout the ancient world, and whenever he would leave, he would stay in touch with them. As he continued to learn about the church in Ephesus, he was filled with joy to learn of their faith, and of the new believers in their midst. And in Ephesians 1.15-23, we find Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus.

Paul’s prayer was filled with thanksgiving for their faith, but as Rob preaches, he shows us that Paul wasn’t content for them to have simply prayed to receive Jesus into their lives: Paul wanted more for them than that. He wanted them to go the distance, and continue to go further up and further in to the depths and riches of life and faith in Jesus. And the way he prayed they would do that was to know God rightly and truly – so they may appreciate to the fullest possible extent the implications of the blessing they have already received in Jesus Christ.
