This sermon, based on Ephesians 1, argues that God's immense power is active in believers, not only saving them but also transforming and perfecting them through the indwelling Holy Spirit. The message highlights that this power is not earned by human effort but is a gift of grace that guarantees a believer's future redemption and is ultimately demonstrated through Christ's sacrificial love on the cross.

This sermon argues that the church's greatness comes from believers actively making disciples, a mission often hindered by fear.

This sermon challenges believers to move beyond a performative faith by embracing their calling as the "light of the world," which is a ministry of the Spirit rooted in God's sufficiency, not their own.

This sermon explains that the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force but a divine person who, along with the Father and the Son, comes to indwell believers.

This sermon explains that the gospel is the only solution for overcoming hostility and division, as Jesus, through his death on the cross, has broken down the "dividing wall" that separates people. It emphasizes that believers, now reconciled to both God and each other, are being rebuilt by the Holy Spirit into one new, unified humanity that reflects God's grace and love to the world.
