Fan Into Flame

September 22, 2024 | Ephesians 3.14-19 | Rob Collis

It’s been said that chapter 3 is the peak of Ephesians. So far, we’ve been climbing through the foothills, but now we’re climbing to the highest point – the top of the mountain – and once we’re at the top, we can see for miles in every direction.

This week Rob preaches from Ephesians 3.14-19. He shows us how Paul is praying that God would set our hearts on fire with love for him, and identifies three movements to Paul’s prayer: First, he prays the truths of the gospel into our hearts, so it wouldn’t just be information we know, but truths that pervade our entire being. Second, he prays that we would be strengthened by the Holy Spirit, so that we might have an increased capacity to experience the fullness of God in our inner being. And third, he prays that we would begin to comprehend, and catch a glimpse of the fullness of God, so that we wouldn’t settle for anything less.
