In Ephesians 3:1-13, the Apostle Paul speaks of the amazing Mystery that has been revealed to all through the Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit; namely, "that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel." Pastor Ryan describes what the heart of a true minister looks like: a servant.

In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul describes our reconciliation by taking a look at our past, our position, our peace, and our purpose. These four things must be in harmony in our walk in order to be effective.

In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul continues to discuss the wealth that we as believers have available to us in Christ. We have been given everything we need for life and godliness, because of what Jesus has done. The focus of scripture is what Jesus has done for you, not what you can do or have done for God. as we look at our text we'll see what sin does, what Jesus did, and what God is doing.

In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul prays for the Ephesians, that God would open the eyes of their heart, that they would see the blessings in Christ that Paul had detailed in verses 1-14, and put them into action. We demonstrate those blessings through love. As we look at out text we are going to see three things; the Backdrop to Pauls prayer, the Heart of Pauls Prayer, and the Key the Paul's Prayer.

In Ephesians 1:13-14, we see the Blessings that come from the Spirit, that are generally described in Ephesians 1:3. In our text we will see three blessings from the Spirit: He has Sealed us; He fulfills a promise, and he is our guarantee.

In Ephesians 1:7-12, we continue to look at the Spiritual wealth that originates from the Son. In our text we will notice 4 things: Jesus has redeemed us; Jesus has forgiven us; Jesus has revealed God's will to us; and finally, Jesus has given us of his inheritance.

In Ephesians 1:4-6, Paul begins describing our wealth as believers in Jesus Christ. We are spiritually wealthy beyond anything we can ever imagine, yet so often we failed to enter into all that God has for us. When we are living in that place, there is really very little to write home about. Alexander McClaren said this: "We may have as much of God as we will. Christ puts the key of the treasure chamber into our hand and bids us to take all that we want. If a man is admitted into the vault of a bank and told to help himself, and comes out with one cent, whose fault is it that he is poor?" In our text we will see three blessings from the Father: He has chosen us; He has adopted us; and he has accepted.

The book of Ephesians can be broken up into three very simple sections: Chapters 1-3 speak of our Wealth as believers; Chapter 4-6:1-9 speak of our Walk as believers; and chapter 6 verses 10 through 24 speak of our Warfare as believers. As we begin Ephesians, we will see four things: The author, the recepients, the greeting, and the message.
