Chosen in Him

In Ephesians 1:1–14, Paul pulls back the curtain and shows us that our salvation is not random, accidental, or self-made, but rooted in God’s eternal purpose in Christ. This sermon explores the breathtaking blessings God has given us “in Him”—election, adoption, redemption, forgiveness, and inheritance—and shows how all of it is part of His greater plan to sum up all things in Christ.

Scripture: Ephesians 1.1-14

Warm-Up:

St. Peter at the pearlies asks you, “Why should I let you in?” - what’s your answer?

“There was nothing Israel did to generate his choice of them, and the same is true of us. There is not entitlement in grace. It is a gift graciously given, undeserved.”
