Holy Spirit: Abundantly More - Ephesians 1

Risen Church NC

To say that the Christian life is full of blessings is not news to most believers. We believe and serve a Good God who indeeds is kind and gracious to His children. However, the true, desired blessings that both Jesus and the New Testament promises us are much greater than, beyond what we've otherwise settled for... In Ephesians, Paul writes with clear intent to direct our eyes higher, above this material world towards the Spiritual promises that God has made us. He leads us along from chapter 1 to 3, speaking of our "Spiritual Blessings", "Glorious Inheritance", which promise the "fullness of God" in our hearts, bringing us "Abundantly More" than we've even considered. Coupled with the teachings of Jesus, it's obvious that there are Spiritual Blessings we've passed over, settling for temporary fixations. Ephesians calls us to discover our true inheritance as believers, exclusively found in the transformation the Holy Spirit wants to bring on our lives. In this message, we decouple ourselves from what we've settled for and set our eyes on a new horizon. What can our lives look like in sync with the Holy Spirit? What new goals can we set? What new aspirations can we live for? Far beyond our temporary satisfactions, focused on short lives full of treasures and pleasures. God is inviting us to accomplish Immeasurable Greatness in His Church - Abundantly More than we've ever even considered.
