Our Refuge & Strength | Scott Byrd

Scripture Reference: Psalm 46:1-11
When life gets turned upside down, we have a God who is a mighty refuge. In the midst of crisis we can rely on a strong God because He became weak and a present God because He was forsaken.

Sermon Points:

  • A Perilous World

  • A Present God

Bowing The Knee | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:14-21

What do you think the Apostle Paul would pray if you could hear him offer a prayer for you? The end of Ephesians 3 is just that. What he gives us, therefore, is the idealized version of how every Christian should live their lives, especially as it pertains to how love transforms our “inner world.”

Sermon Points:

  • Have Strength
  • Know Love
  • Be FullBowing The Knee

Telling Secrets | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:1-13
Add the wonder of Paul’s description of the church in God’s eternal plan together with the immensity of the blessings afforded to those “in Christ,” and Paul realizes that he has something that people need to know. The first half of Ephesians 3 is highly instructive of an evangelism that isn’t packaged but full of joy.

Sermon Points:

  • Mission Motivation
  • Humble Confidence
  • Corporate Thinking
  • Captivated Imagination

Dead Men Walking | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 2:1-10
Having set out that heaven and earth will be reunited through God’s work through the church, Paul turns to how the world will be healed in YOU, a Christian. Turns out, he has to animate the “bad news” of the Gospel before we can really understand the “good news” of his grace, to be in union with Christ!

Sermon Points:

  • Man is Dead
  • God is Gracious
