March 9 | Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 9 as we plan out next Advance San Deigo session. 9-12 in Oceanside, teaching on creating a leadership culture in the church and hosting with the presence of God.
Ephesians 1:7-10 is a powerful exploration of the profound truths that define our lives in Christ. Sunday we looked at The sermon total forgiveness, the means by which it is obtained, and the exciting future that awaits believers in Christ.
Beginning with a reflection on Matthew 5:3, which emphasizes the significance of being "poor in spirit," recognizing our need for God. The sermon delves into the concept of poverty of spirit as an acknowledgment of our desperate state and longing for something better. Ephesians reveals the provision for those who turn to Jesus in belief and trust.
We are bolstered by the theological significance of redemption, forgiveness, and the complete removal of sin. All which comes by God's grace, not earned or maintained by our efforts. The analogy of God's grace being lavished upon us, like generously spread Nutella on toast, vividly illustrates the abundance and richness of God's forgiveness.
All of this exposing the mystery of God's will and His plan for the fullness of time. The anticipation of unity in Christ, reconciling all things in heaven and on earth, echoes themes of renewal and redemption.
In conclusion we are encouraged as believers to live under the banner of total forgiveness, to understand the sufficiency of God's grace, and to be ambassadors of reconciliation. The call to share the message of the Kingdom of Heaven, where Christ unites all things, resonates as a powerful commission for believers to rejoice in their need met, redemption given, and grace lavished upon them.
