Message: “Getting It All Together (Ephesians 1:3-14)” from Dr. Tom Riley

A message from the series "Sunday Service." In our lesson today I want to bring some encouragement from the story of the Apostle Paul to his friends at Ephesus. As Brother Keith “Called Out the Called” two weeks ago (using the calling of Moses as his text), I want to piggy-back on that to emphasize that we are ALL called (and GIFTED) to do something! We are all ministers together in some capacity. Each one of us has some gift that Christ has given us for the benefit of each other! Together! Paul emphasizes that together the believers all became one in Christ, and as the body of Christ they were living in the story of God.

Compassionate, Gracious, Slow to Anger, Abounding in Love (Psalm 103:1-17, John 1:9-18)

Compassionate, Gracious, Slow to Anger, Abounding in Love (Psalm 103:1-17, John 1:9-18)

As we start up a new academic year, we are meditating on the perspectives we need for facing new challenges. One of our greatest needs is to renew our vision of God as He revealed Himself in Scripture. There is an Old Testament phrase that God used with Moses as His "self-definition": "Yahweh, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness and faithfulness" (Ex. 34:6). This description is repeated eight times in the Old Testament, but only in one fragment in the New. We will explore its meaning as we seek to refresh our own personal relationship to the God of the ages and understand how this description assumed human form in Jesus Christ.
