Sermons
Part 11: If You Know…You Know
This sermon emphasizes the importance of truly knowing God through prayer, highlighting that our greatest need is an intimate, personal relationship with Him rather than just intellectual knowledge. It teaches that recognizing our dependence on prayer and seeking God’s presence leads to spiritual growth, hope, and a deeper understanding of His love and power.
Part 10: Signed, Sealed, Delivered
This sermon emphasizes the importance of being "sealed with the Holy Spirit," which provides Christians with authenticity, ownership, and security in their faith, distinguishing true spiritual assurance from cultural compromise and superficial religion. It challenges believers to seek a deeper, experiential relationship with God, marked by His presence and transformative power, rather than settling for a faith shaped by worldly values or mere emotionalism.
Part 9: Goosebumps & Crocodile Tears
This sermon emphasizes that becoming a Christian is not about emotional experiences or feelings, but about hearing, believing, and being transformed by the "Word of Truth"—the gospel of Jesus Christ. It challenges listeners to examine whether their faith is rooted in genuine knowledge and acceptance of Christ’s work, rather than superficial emotions or good deeds.
Part 8: the Mystery
This sermon explores the concept of "the Mystery" in Ephesians, emphasizing that unity in the church is rooted in God's revealed truth, not just human agreement. It teaches that God's plan—choosing, predestining, and revealing Himself—offers hope and understanding to all who seek Him with humility and spiritual discernment.
Part 7: Kidnapped
This sermon emphasizes that salvation and true reconciliation with God come only through Jesus Christ, not through personal effort, vague faith, or religious routine. It urges listeners to fully embrace Christ’s sacrifice, recognize the depth of redemption, and live a life wholly surrendered to Him.
Part 6: Staggering Statements
This sermon emphasizes the profound truth that, through Christ, believers are not only saved but are also adopted as children of God, granting them a new relationship and elevated rank in God's family. The message highlights the richness of this spiritual adoption, contrasting it with worldly values and urging Christians to deeply appreciate and live out their identity as God's beloved children.
Part 5: The Speed of Light
This sermon emphasizes that God chose each person before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless, highlighting our true value and identity in Christ rather than through worldly achievements or self-worth. It calls believers to pursue practical holiness by daily communion with God, living out faith, and giving their best to Him.
Part 4: Mystery to Magnificence
This sermon is a deep exploration of Ephesians 1:4, focusing on the concept that God chooses believers “before the foundation of the world.” The central theme is the mystery and magnificence of God’s sovereign choice in salvation, often referred to as the doctrine of election or predestination.
Part 3: Another World
This sermon focuses on the Christian’s true identity and spiritual home as described in the book of Ephesians. The question “Where do you live?” is used to challenge listeners to think beyond their physical address and consider their spiritual position. Pastor Greg Dowey explains that, according to the Apostle Paul, believers are “in the world, but don’t belong here”—their citizenship is in heaven.
