People love mysteries. We read books and watch movies to entertain ourselves with mysteries. Real-life mysteries are even better. In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul speaks of a real-life mystery, but it is not something eerie or inscrutable, rather it is a truth that God has hidden in ages past but is now…
Ever since the beginning, human beings have been unable to live peaceably with one another. The fall not only ruined our vertical relationship with God, but our horizontal relationships with others. Only through the cross can we be brought into right relationship with God and one another. Christ alone can tear down the dividing wall of…
You have heard of the TV series, the Walking Dead? The title to that show is a good description of every person on the face of the earth. Apart from Christ, we are all the walking dead. The late Warren Wiersbe said once, “All lost sinners are dead, and the only difference between one sinner…
God has blessed His children with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, yet many of us spend our entire life looking for blessings we already have. We don’t have to go on a spiritual treasure hunt to find things like hope, significance, and power. We simply need to take inventory of what’s in our spiritual…

Someone once said, “Try to explain election and you may lose your mind. But try to explain it away and you may lose your soul!” This week, we continue our series in the book of Ephesians, by looking at this wonderful, but often misunderstood doctrine.
