A Cosmic Display

In Ephesians 3, Paul pulls back the curtain and shows that the church is far more than a weekly gathering of ordinary people. Through the united people of God, the Lord is displaying His manifold wisdom to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

This sermon explores why Paul prays that the church would have strength to comprehend this reality, know the love of Christ, and live as God’s cosmic display in the world.

When have you seen something ordinary become more meaningful once you understood what was happening behind the scenes?

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
