Grasping God’s Love - Ephesians

In Ephesians 3:14-21, we learn that knowing God’s love takes supernatural power. These verses make it clear that each of us can personally experience (grasp) God’s love through the power of the Holy Spirit. When we humble ourselves, trust God's provision, and root our lives in His love, He fills us with His presence. And that changes everything.

Less Than the Least - Ephesians

Being small, weak, and humble is in the DNA of God’s greatest servants.

A Mysterious Plan Revealed - Ephesians

A good mystery finally revealed can be captivating. Since the beginning, God has been working on a plan far bigger than we ever imagined — and now, the mystery is out.

Upon This Rock - Ephesians

What is the Church—really? In this message from Ephesians 2:19-22, we unpack how all Believers are first-class citizens, beloved family, and essential building blocks in God's eternal temple.

Breaking Barriers - Ephesians

The verses in Ephesians 2:14-18 show Jesus smashing walls that once split Jew from Gentile. His cross de-powers every boundary and forges “one new humanity.” It reconciles us first to God, then to each other. Through the Son, by the Spirit, all Believers share open access to the Father. So stop rebuilding walls and start setting tables. Part Nine Ephesians Series “Breaking Barriers” (Ephesians 2:14-18) Pastor Tony D’Amico June 21 & 22, 2025

Remember Where You Came From - Ephesians

Before Jesus rescued us, we were lost — separated from God, without hope, and spiritually dead. But through His blood, we’ve been brought near, forgiven, and welcomed into His family. This message helps us remember who we were, celebrate who we are in Christ, and understand why it matters for how we live today. It needs to be with confidence, purpose, and gratitude.

First, the Bad News - Ephesians

Before we can grasp the Good News of the Gospel, we have to face the brutal reality. Apart from Christ, we are spiritually dead, following the world, the devil, and our own sinful desires.

A Desire To Know God - Ephesians

The desire to know God. It's the heartbeat of genuine faith, isn't it? More than head knowledge, it's a deep yearning for connection with our Creator.

Spiritual Blessings (Part Two) - Ephesians

This message highlights seven spiritual blessings (found in Ephesians 1:11-14): we are chosen, predestined, and included in God's redemptive plan to glorify Him. Through faith, we are made part of His family, sealed with the Holy Spirit, and given the Spirit as a guarantee of our future inheritance. These truths give purpose, assurance, and a call to live for God’s glory. Part Three Ephesians Series “Spiritual Blessings (Part Two)” (Ephesians 1:11-14) Pastor Bill Young May 10 & 11, 2025...

Spiritual Blessings (Part One) - Ephesians

Paul reminds Believers in Ephesians 1:3–10 that we are spiritually loaded with blessings. We are chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, and promised a glorious future — all because we are in Christ. Yet, many Christians live like spiritual paupers, obsessed with temporary earthly blessings instead of eternal riches. Our calling is to recognize, rejoice in, and actually live out the vast spiritual wealth God has already given us. Part Two Ephesians Series “Spiritual Blessings” (Part One)(Ephesians ...

The Harvest and the Fire - Galatians

In these verses in Galatians, Paul gives us a clear picture of what it means to sow and reap—not just in the natural world but also in our spiritual lives.

The Spiritual War - Galatians

In Part 17 of our study of Galatians, we take a look at one of the most famous sections in the entire Bible — the Fruit of the Spirit and the works of the flesh.

Choose Freedom - Galatians

In Galatians (Chapter 5), the Apostle Paul emphasizes the significant decision every Believer must make between freedom and slavery, liberty and bondage, life and death.

In this message, we will look at the practical benefits (and detriments) of choosing either life-liberating freedom or burdensome slavery. Let’s choose wisely!

Children of Promise - Galatians

In the closing verses of Galatians 4, Paul turns to the Old Testament to solidify his message. Throughout the chapter, he has contrasted the freedom found in faith in Christ with the bondage of striving for justification through efforts of the flesh. Now, he uses the story of Abraham’s two sons as an allegory—one symbolizing slavery to works, the other representing the true children of promise who are free by faith.
