As God's people, we cannot survive without prayer -- at least, that is, survive and flourish.  The Apostle Paul lived out this reality and displayed it in his letter to the Ephesians, and Jeff helps us understand it in our own lives.

Mike Phay & Jeremy Joseph.

A new way of relating comes when people enter into relationship with the living God -- a way of relating that brings obedience, honor, nurture, and love.  We are to live unsegmented lives, working and living, loving and suffering, relating and rejoicing before the Lord at all times.  What does it look like for you...today?

Mike Phay preaching.

God's overarching purposes for the history of creation is that all things would be brought into submission under His Son, Jesus Christ.  The Church has been placed at the center of the universe to display this reality, and one of the ways in which we are called to do this is in the marriage relationship: wives submitting to husbands, and husbands loving their wives.

Submission.  Far from being a dirty word, when put in it's right context it is a word that communicates protection and dignity.  And when authority is used rightly, it is used after the example of Christ, "who loved us and gave Himself up for us."

Caesar Kalinowski & Mike Phay.

God's Light invades, exposing and transforming dark places.  Not only are we called out of the darkness and into the light, but we are called from being darkness to being light.  This dialogue centers around what it means for us to be light -- living out the job description that Jesus gave us -- in a world that is darkness.

Unless you know that you are loved, you will never be able to live a life in the power of the Gospel.  Unless you know your Identity, you will not be able to live it out.

Paul's prayer at the end of Ephesians 3 is a passionate plea that God would give us the necessary strength to understand that we are God's beloved -- but not because of anything that we've done.  Our performance has been rendered moot by grace: We can't do anything to make God love us more; we can't do anything to make God love us less.

Realizing this is freedom: Freedom from the tyranny and bondage of our "selves."  And now we can fight for God's agenda, which begins with unity -- displaying God's true nature as Father-Son-Spirit, and proclaiming by how we live what in the world God is up to.
