Bearing With One Another
We should have a rubber stamp made for certain people’s membership files: "EGR" -- (Extra Grace Required)! In today's passage, Ephesians 4:1-6, 12 are instructed to "bear with one another," and Pastor Gary breaks down some of the prerequisites for doing that with love. One of the biggest obstacles to successfully bearing with one another is unforgiveness. Nelson Mandela said, "Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies."

The Prayed-For Church
Two of the things Paul prayed for the church in Ephesians 3 were "strength" and "power to know the depth of the love of Christ." We want the same things for our church! Ephesians 3:14-21

The Church Has Got To Go
There have been several recent bestsellers arguing against the existence of God and blaming people of faith for all the world's ills. They suggest that "the church has got to go." We agree! (But we don't mean the same thing at all). Ephesians 3:2-13.

Access
ACCESS is a tresured thing. In Ephesians 2:19 we are told that we are fellow citizens with God's people and memebers of God's household, giving us access to the privileges of being part of the family.

Grace Alone, Through Faith Alone, In Christ Alone

Grace Alone, Through Faith Alone, In Christ Alone
Salvation can't be earned, and nobody is good enough to make it to heaven on their own merit. In this message from Ephesians 2:1-10 we are reminded that "it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
