Discovering True Purpose: How to Live as God’s Children
- Sermon By: Dennis Campbell
- Categories: Ephesians, Prayer
Are you seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be one of God’s children? Join us as we dig into Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21. In this passage we uncover the spiritual riches that root and ground us in the love of Christ.
This sermon invites you to understand the heart of Paul’s prayer for the believers in Ephesus. This prayer was not just for that ancient city but for all of us who are God’s children today. Paul’s prayer is a powerful declaration of the spiritual wealth available to us. As God’s children, we are heirs to an unimaginable inheritance, yet many of us live like we are spiritually impoverished. This sermon will challenge you to recognize and embrace the fullness of God in our lives.
What does it mean to be one of God’s children?
One of the key aspects we explore is the idea of Christ dwelling in our hearts. But what does it mean for Christ to be truly at home in our hearts? As God’s children, He calls us to create a personal, intimate space where Christ is not just a visitor but the Lord of our lives. This sermon encourages you to reflect on whether your heart is a welcoming home for Christ or if there are areas you need to surrender to His loving, personal control.
Additionally, we delve into the vast dimensions of Christ’s love—its width, length, depth, and height—and how, as God’s children, He invites us to experience and share this love with the world. The love of Christ is not just something we receive; it transforms us and flows through us to others.
Finally, the sermon addresses the concept of being filled with the fullness of God. As God’s children, we have access to His limitless, a wealth that never runs dry. Yet, we often live as if we are spiritually lacking. This message reassures you that you can open your heart fully to God’s influence and allow His Spirit to fill you completely, so that your life reflects His love, power, and grace, and you can live in the security of His abundance.
Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in your faith and understanding as God’s children. Whether you choose to read, watch, or listen to the sermon, we pray that it will inspire you to embrace the fullness of your identity in Christ and live out the incredible inheritance that comes with being one of God’s children.
