This week we begin a new summer sermon series on the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians, which he wrote while he was under house arrest in Rome circa AD 62. For an overview of the letter, check out this video from the guys over at BibleProject.

This Sunday we celebrate the heart of the message of Ephesians, which is this: God has a wonderful plan for all of His creation–things in heaven and earth. Want to know what that plan is? Join us as we look to Ephesians 1:3-14 for the answer.

Have you ever experienced that moment when you hear something or see something–something you swear you’ve never heard or seen before–but from that moment on, you cannot help but hear or  see it everywhere…

Jesus teaching us to pray for our Heavenly Father to lead us and deliver us helps us to see things he sees, things that have always been there, things we will never not see ever again.

We have arrived at the most difficult phrase in the Lord’s Prayer:

and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

The expectation is that Jesus’s followers are people who “Ask, and Pass It On.” Easier said than done. Let’s talk about it.

Prayer is many things to many people, but at its simplest and most obvious, it is asking God for help. This is how most people in the world, religious and non-religious alike, understand the word, and to a certain extent, they are right. It is really one of the most natural things in the world to ask God for things. This week we will talk about one thing in particular: Daily Bread.
