June 9, 2024 | Ephesians 1.3-6 | Rob Collis

From the very beginning of his letter to the church in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul’s writing and imagination is steeped in God’s activity in Jesus Christ. And he wants us to get caught up in that with him. As we continue our series going through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Rob preaches from Ephesians 1.3-6.

As he begins to unpack the longest sentence in the New Testament, he shows us that Paul is stretching and expanding our horizons to behold reality and time as so much bigger than we realized. And from our expanded horizons, Paul shows us that, before the beginning of creation, God’s end goal was not that we would simply exist and be ‘out there’ – but rather that we could come and be gathered up into him, and be adopted as his children.
