Do you truly experience the fullness of God in every aspect of your life? Or do you just know about Him? In this classic sermon, Francis Chan takes us through Ephesians 3:14-19, revealing how the Holy Spirit's power is not just for doing tasks for God, but more importantly, for deepening our knowledge and connection with Christ. “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:14–19)

If you were to assess your faith right now, where would you say you are when set against the backdrop of Scripture. In this thought-provoking sermon, Francis Chan delves into Revelation 3:15-18, confronting the lukewarm faith that’s prevalent in the church today. He challenges us to ignite our spiritual passion and align our lives with the truth of God’s Word. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.” (Revelation 3:15-18)
