Sermons in this series

Fit for the Fight
February 8, 2026Pastor:Nathan Kingsley

Sermon Notes

As Paul is getting close to the end of his letter to the Ephesians, he reminds them of one foundational truth: our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. What an interesting way to set perspective and encourage these believers! Yet he reminds them that they are not defenseless because our triune God has equipped his church with everything necessary to defend and fight against the schemes of our enemy. Join us as we unpack Ephesians 6:10-18 and see how we are called and able to stand firm in Christ.

Gospel-Centered Marriage - Part 2
January 11, 2026Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

We’ll spend more time in Ephesians 5:21–33 seeing how Christ’s self-giving love reshapes our ideas about marriage. How does the gospel dignify women and lead to the good of both husband and wife?

Gospel-Centered Marriage - Part 1
January 4, 2026Pastor:Mark Dunker

Sermon Notes

There’s a lot of confusion and disagreement over why marriage exists, what it’s for, and what it should look like. The apostle Paul answers those questions and shows us what it looks like to live as disciples of Jesus, especially as husbands called to love as Christ loves the Church. Join us as we return to our series in Ephesians and look at “Gospel-Centered Marriage – Part 1” from Ephesians 5:21-33.

Walk in Light
November 16, 2025Pastor:Nicholas Piotrowski

Because Christians have been born again by the grace and power of Christ, we are therefore able to walk in Christ.

Walk in Love
November 9. 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

Paul reminds us that because we are new people we can no longer live in selfish immorality, and he warns us that kind of life brings judgment and condemnation.

Before and After
November 2, 2025Pastor:Tom Macy

Sermon Notes

Ephesians 4 tells Christian believers to put off the old self and put on the new self. What areas of our daily experience will be affected with this change of spiritual clothing? Ephesians 4:25—5:2 introduces those important changes in our speech, dealing with anger, our attitudes and responses in all ways that we relate to one another. It’s about integrating our faith in Jesus with all of life and becoming imitators of God. Join us for Before and After.

Filled with God's Fullness
October 5, 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

As Paul concludes the first half of his letter, he’s moved with awe by the thought of all that God is and has for us in Christ.

The Secret
September 21, 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

We all love finding a hidden restaurant, a great deal, a good book that has made our lives fuller. We want to share our discovery with others. Paul talks about the “divine secret” or mystery of God’s salvation, and he describes how God uses us to bring others into the amazing reality we’ve discovered in Jesus. Join us as we look at “The Secret” from Ephesians 3:1-6.

One People, United in Christ
September 14, 2025Pastor:Tom Macy

Sermon Notes

Western Christians mostly see salvation in individual terms, what God has done for me. Much of that is true in the first chapter and a half of Ephesians, but God’s saving grace is much broader, going beyond the individual to the church. It includes God’s work to “unite all things in him,” (1:10) and to “create in Himself one new man in place of the two.” (2:15). This is the church, the gathering of God’s people from all over the world into one body, starting by breaking down the wall between Jew and Gentile. What other walls is God breaking down? Are we embracing God’s purpose or fighting against it? Join us for a closer look at Ephesians 2:11-22, One People, United in Christ.

God's Workmanship
September 7, 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

If our salvation – from beginning to end – is all based on God’s grace, how does that change me? What does it mean for the way I see myself? My identity and my purpose in life? Join us as we look at “God’s Workmanship” from Ephesians 2:5-10.

Made Alive
August 31, 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

We all have some idea of what grace is – a free gift. But we can all think of gifts we received that weren’t that meaningful or important. What does the grace of God really look like? Why do I need it? And what does it do in my heart and my life? How does grace change me? Join us as we look at “Made Alive” from Ephesians 2:1-6

The Father's Love
August 17, 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

All of us struggle with doubts and fears – about ourselves, about relationships, about the future, about this world, even about God and his promises. How do we find security, hope, and direction for our lives? Join us as we look at “The Father’s Love” from Ephesians 1:3-14

Blessed
August 10, 2025Pastor:Jeff Schultz

Sermon Notes

We’re tempted to think that when life is going well and we have good things, God is happy with us and we’re blessed; and if life is hard, we think we’ve done something wrong and God is withholding his blessing. Is that how God operates? Join us as we start a new series in the book of Ephesians and look at what it means to be “Blessed” from Ephesians 1:1-3.
