Sunday Sermon | The Mystery and the Fullness of Time | Ephesians | Part 3

Please join us as Pastor Patrick Joyner continues the series on Ephesians. Ephesians 1:1-10. We can be encouraged with the concept of unity; unity about a mission. The creator of the universe has a unified business for all mankind.

Every single thing we do must fit into the concept of mission as a son or daughter of God. What do you get excited about? Set things aside for and take weeks to prepare? What are you really invested in? What do you dream about? Pray about? If it’s not directly associated with the centrality of being a son or daughter of God, then you are off. Our greatest joy is associated with what He has called us to do.

There are people that need to be rescued. Spiritual warfare and bringing souls to salvation is a massive undertaking and the Lord has made provision - this is our mission. We are soldiers of Christ.

Is the way we pray and the things we do day to day a mismatch for the mission of God?

The point the Apostle Paul is making, is to never lose the overwhelming consciousness of the fact that we are sons and daughters of God, if we are redeemed. We are in the middle of spiritual warfare, that God has given us great gifts in which to carry out that battle, but that is something that is designed to consume our lives. The things we do should rejuvenate us for the mission of God.

The advent of Christ wasn’t the beginning, it was the end. Night is coming. Our investment in the children of the church is about uniting all things in Christ.
