Ephesians, Part 5: Application
0 Comments
Yesterday Robin Boisvert preached a message from Ephesians 2:1-10 titled, “Our Salvation: Changed from Death to Life,” in which he considered “what we were, what God has done, and how he did it.”
You can listen online or download the message here.
And here are some application questions, prepared by pastor Brian Chesemore:
1. Robin shared how we need to be re-educated by God’s perspective on our sin in order to appreciate our need for mercy. How does Paul accomplish this in the first three verses?
2. In verse 4, Paul highlights a most amazing turn in Scripture. What has happened that Paul can so quickly turn from the wrath of God to the grace of God?
3.What does it mean that we are in union with Christ? Why is this union so amazing?
4. How can you seize an opportunity this week in your job or relationships to testify to the mercy and grace of God in your life?

Sunday Preview: Ephesians, Part 5
0 Comments
Thanks, everybody, for all the anniversary congrats and well-wishes. Shannon and I had a wonderful time in Florida this week.
I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday. Ken Boer will be leading our time of singing and Robin Boisvert will be preaching from Ephesians 2:1-10 on our salvation through Christ.
This will also be the first of three Sundays in a row in which we will be showing a video that is part of the Sovereign Grace Ministries mission presentation. In years past, we have taken one Sunday to show a longer mission presentation, but this year it will be broken up into three shorter videos over three Sundays, and we’ll be taking the Mission Fund offering on the third Sunday, October 19. For this Sunday, I’m excited for us all to see what God is doing through our partners in the gospel in Germany.
In the mean time, here’s a link to the preview for the mission video.

Ephesians, Part 4: Application
1 Comments
Yesterday, Jeff Purswell preached from Ephesians 1:15-23, considering Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians.
You can listen online or download the message here.
And pastor Brian Chesemore has prepared these questions to help us to continue applying the message as a group or as individuals:
1. Jeff shared that much of what he has learned about prayer came from listening to others pray or reading their prayers. Who are the men or women who have shaped your practice of prayer?
2. How would you describe your current relationship with God in prayer? What content tends to fill your prayers?
3. Paul’s example of prayer teaches that we are not simply passive observers of God’s unfolding plans. Instead prayer is the means by which God works out many of his sovereign plans. What are God’s purposes that we should regularly pray to see unfold?
4. What does Paul’s prayer reveal about your need for the Spirit’s work?
5. How can you take Paul’s prayer and make it your own this week for your family, friends and our church?
