Ephesians

I am in Christ (Ephesians 1:1-14)

By Ephesians, Talks

Who were you made to be? ⁠In many ways, this is one of the biggest questions of our culture. But how do we find out who we really are? There are so many ways that we can seek self-discovery, self-actualising, or self-awareness, that can help give us some answers. But in the letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul gives us a staggering claim: To be alive in Christ is to become what humanity was always meant to be. ⁠This term in Ephesians, we’ll be exploring what it means to be made alive, to live our new life in Christ; about who we are in Christ in every part of life. ⁠

Welcome to Village Church. We’re a community that’s all about loving Jesus and loving one another. To find out more, head to vc.org.au, we’d love to hear from you.

By Ephesians, Talks

Paul’s in prison, but he’s got a bigger picture of what God is doing in the world than his own circumstances. He knows what God is doing, he knows that God loves him, and he knows that because of what God has started in the Jesus & the church, the suffering he is now experiencing will one day not exist. (Apologies for the sound quality in the second half of the church. Stuff breaks. If it’s too bad, you can always listen to a Keller talk.)
