"The Searchers" | Ephesians 3:7-9 - a podcast by Bend Int. Church of Christ

Ephesians 3:7-9 ESV

7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things

Do we believe in the power of the gospel? Is the good news good news?

Has this gospel made you a servant? 

What is the gospel? how does it humble Paul to become a minister in the first place?

2 Cor. 1:6,8-9

Paul sees things on the cosmic level, while he endures prison.



1 Timothy 1:12-15

grace overflowed with faith and love in Christ for the Foremost sinner. He was showed mercy. Considered trustworthy and saved by Jesus, the gospel. ‘Poured out abundantly’. You want to experience a tsunami of grace, forgiveness and humility are the beginning ripples. let go of the you that you cling to, dive in. Obey the call of the you that is in Christ and seated in the heavenlies.

It's not a problem to see yourself as a very flawed human being, as long as you quickly see through God's grace you can be a significant human being.

Acts 20:24

How has God’s grace worked in you? How has it put you into the ministry? 

Paid unpaid, part time full time, young, old, professional, retiree, trainee … we are all disciples first. Otherwise we are off mission.

You can’t accomplish his plan on your own or with your own plans!

God will raise you up, sink every morning Into the death of Jesus. Let his life be manifest.
