Sermon Title: "Three Important Reminders”

The message presents three important reminders from Ephesians 3: God has a purpose for His people, His presence dwells within believers, and His power is able to accomplish more than they could ask or think.

The sermon was titled “Three Important Reminders.” Those reminders are God’s purpose, God’s presence, and God’s power.

The sermon continues the series through Ephesians by emphasizing the doctrinal truths found in the first three chapters. These truths prepare believers for the practical duties and Christian living taught in the chapters that follow.

God’s purpose is that people be saved through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, come to know Him personally, and then serve Him faithfully. The message emphasizes that salvation is available to both Jew and Gentile through Christ.

The mystery is the truth that Gentiles can be fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of God’s promise in Christ through the Gospel. What was once hidden has now been revealed through God’s Word.

It means that Gentile believers receive the same salvation, promises, and standing in Christ as Jewish believers. Salvation is offered to whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord.

The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ came into the world, shed His blood for sinners, paid the debt of sin, and offers forgiveness and salvation to all who believe on Him.

The sermon explains that believers are living in an age of grace. Jesus Christ became the final sacrifice for sin, and salvation is now received through faith in Him rather than through the sacrifices required under the Old Testament law.

No. The sermon makes clear that grace is not a license to sin. Holiness and right living should follow salvation because the Holy Spirit convicts believers when they disobey God.

Paul described himself as less than the least of all saints. His example reminds believers that Christian service should be marked by humility, dependence upon God, and gratitude for His grace.

God’s presence is with every person who has trusted Christ. The Holy Spirit dwells within believers, strengthens the inner man, and assures them that God will never leave or forsake them.

It means that God desires to dwell within His people through the Holy Spirit. Believers are not merely saved from sin; they become a place where the presence of God lives and works.

Paul bowed his knees before God in prayer. The sermon uses his example to encourage humility, reverence, dependence upon God, and a sincere desire to seek His help and presence.

The message repeatedly reminds listeners that God always keeps His promises and always has a plan. Even when people feel alone or face difficult circumstances, God remains faithful.

Ephesians 3:20 teaches that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that believers ask or think, according to the power that works within them.

The sermon emphasizes that God’s power works within believers through the Holy Spirit. Christians cannot accomplish God’s will in their own strength, but they can depend upon His power.

Yes. Paul wrote Ephesians while imprisoned, yet God continued to use him to proclaim the Gospel and teach the church. The sermon reminds listeners that no circumstance can prevent God from fulfilling His purpose.

Yes. The sermon strongly emphasizes that no person is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Regardless of background, past sin, or present condition, God loves sinners and desires to save them through Jesus Christ.

The sermon closes by urging lost listeners to call upon the Lord and receive Jesus Christ as Savior. Believers are encouraged to trust God’s purpose, depend upon His presence, and believe in His power.
