Ephesians 1:3-14

In this message, we explore the fundamental purpose of the church: to glorify God. Drawing from Ephesians 1:3-14, we're reminded that everything we have and are is in and for Christ. The church isn't primarily about meeting our needs, but about praising God for His sovereign choice, adoption, redemption, revelation, inheritance, and assurance. We're challenged to shift our focus from ourselves to God's glory, understanding that He chose us before the foundation of the world, adopted us as His children, and redeemed us through Christ's blood. This perspective transforms how we view our role in the church and our daily lives, calling us to live not for our own fulfillment, but for the praise of God's glorious grace.
