Gifts of Grace (Ephesians 4:7-16)

The church isn’t built by personalities or platforms—it’s built by grace. In this passage from Ephesians, we’re reminded that Jesus is both the victorious King and the generous Giver. He not only descended to rescue us but ascended to reign—and from His place of authority, He gives gifts to His people.
 
These gifts aren’t random or earned—they’re intentional and personal. Christ has equipped every believer uniquely to build up His body. Whether through teaching, serving, leading, or encouraging, you’ve been gifted with purpose. And as each of us faithfully uses what we’ve received, we grow—not just individually, but together—in maturity, unity, and love.
 
This message will help you rediscover how God has designed you to play a vital role in His church. Don’t just attend—participate. You’re not just wanted here—you’re needed.

A Worthy Walk (Ephesians 4:1-6)

Are you walking worthy—or trying to earn what’s already been given?
The weight of grace is not a burden but an invitation. In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul urges believers to walk worthy of the calling they have received. But this is not a demand to prove our worth—it’s an invitation to live in response to Jesus’ worthiness.
Don’t live in fear, wondering if you’ve done enough. Jesus’ final words weren’t “Earn this”—they were “It is finished.” Live in the freedom of grace.

Rooted in Love

Are you living like a turkey when you were born to soar?
Too often, we forget who we really are in Christ. We settle for a lesser life, unaware of the power and love available to us. In Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul prays for believers to be strengthened—not just in knowledge but in the power of the Spirit and the love of God. Because knowing the right things isn’t enough. We need the strength to live them out.
 
In this message, we explore:
✅ What it means to be strengthened in the inner man.
✅ How the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts and minds.
✅ Why God’s love is deeper, wider, and greater than we can comprehend.
✅ How prayer activates God’s power in our lives.
 
Don’t settle for an ordinary life when God has called you to soar in His strength and love. Listen now and be encouraged!

The Mystery Revealed

The greatest mystery has been revealed. But are we in awe of it?
For centuries, humanity lived in the dark, unaware of the full scope of God’s redemptive plan. But now, in Christ, the mystery has been made known—the gospel isn’t just for one people, but for all. Jew and Gentile, every nation and tongue, are called into one family, one body, one kingdom in Christ.
 
Paul was so captivated by this truth that he couldn’t help but proclaim it—even in chains. And today, we are called to stand in awe of this mystery and respond with boldness, confidence, and hope.
 
Are you ready to treasure the gospel the way heaven does? Listen now and rediscover the awe of the mystery revealed.

Unified in Christ

We were far, but now we’re near. How? By the blood of Christ.
In a world that champions individualism and division, the Gospel stands as a radical invitation to unity and community. In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul reminds us that while we were once far off—Christless, hopeless, and godless—God has brought us near. But this isn’t just about personal salvation. It’s about being made one people, reconciled not only to God but to each other. Walls of hostility are torn down, and we are formed into a family, a kingdom, and a holy temple.
 
Tune in as we explore how the Gospel transforms isolation into community, division into unity, and strangers into family. Because of Jesus, we don’t just belong to Him—we belong to each other.

Dead, But God...

Dead. Hopeless. Lost. But God.
What happens when we face the reality that we aren’t just broken—we’re spiritually dead? Culture tells us to look within, try harder, and find our own truth. But Ephesians 2:1-10 declares a radical truth: Our hope isn’t in ourselves but in the mercy of God. This passage is a rebel cry against every self-salvation effort. It reminds us that salvation isn’t about self-improvement but about being raised from death to life by grace through faith. Listen in as we unpack how God’s love transforms us from dead sinners to living testimonies of His grace.

From Doctrine to Doxology

Who am I? Where do I belong? In Ephesians 1:1-14, Paul declares that our identity is not something we achieve, but something we receive—a gift of grace from God Himself.
 
In this sermon, Steve McKenzie explores the breathtaking truths that we are chosen before the foundation of the world, redeemed by Christ’s blood, adopted into God’s family, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. These aren’t just theological concepts; they reshape how we live, think, and worship.
 
If you’ve ever questioned your worth or struggled with insecurity, this message will root you in the unshakable love of God and remind you of the security of your salvation. Listen now and let your heart be lifted in worship!

A Story-Formed Marriage
