In the book of Ephesians, we’re called to live a life of worship every day – in all circumstances we face in our lives.
We don’t worship God because we can get things or earn salvation; we worship God because of what He has done! He chose us and saved us, so our hearts are compelled to love and worship Him because of His mercy.
Listen as Elder Dave Shumaker teaches from Ephesians 1:3-6 in the sermon, Ephesians: A Life of Worship.
Cultural Application:
- Think about your identity and where you find your “true self” – are you misplacing your identity in the secular cultural values of performance, achievements, sexuality, or status?
- Remember God adopted you and gave you an identity (Ephesians 1:5).
- How do you find your identity in Christ and CONTINUE to find your identity in Christ? (Ephesians 1)
- Live as a worshiper of Christ in the world so we can point others to find their identity in Him!
Scriptures:
- Ephesians 1:3-6
- Romans 6:4-7
- God Chose Us: John 6:44; Acts 13:48
- Personal Responsibility: Joshua 24:15; Mark 8:34; John 7:17
