Ephesians 3 - "Give Me Vision"

Last week we studied Ephesians 3 together! If you missed last week's message “Give Me Vision”, below are some of the highlights from the word.  Watch the full message here.

Ephesians is filled with revelation on the nature and role of “the church” in God’s eternal plan. Ephesians 3 specifically describes Paul’s heart for the gentiles to understand the “Mystery” of Christ. The Mystery is that we are one body and heirs together with Israel through work of Christ on the cross. Thank you to Debby, Denise, Mike and Mark for representing Jewish, Arab, German and Irish heritage. Together, they stood hand-in-hand bringing us the visual of one body through our faith in Jesus. 

​
​The revelation of this "Mystery" releases the manifold wisdom of God which is the multi colored, multifaceted light shining within hearts - Christ within us! The light on display to every principality, power on earth and in heavenly realms. Thank you to Mercy Jones who stood in the light Sunday while Jimmy, Jimmy and Allen represented the principalities and powers behind her.

​Points of Prayer

• Jesus...give me "new vision" to see where you're leading. 
  
• Jesus...give  us "new vision" as a church family. May we be obedient and rest in the call you have for us. 
  
• Jesus...may we see what your doing all around by putting on "new" spiritual glasses. Just like those seeing "color" for the first time!  Ephesians 3:17 I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
  
• Jesus...give me the courage to no longer "sideline" part of who I am called to me. 
  
• Jesus...give me the patience and endurance to wait on your voice in my season of "conditioning / preparation" for what's to come.
