What does a crippled man from Lo-debar have to do with Easter??

…More than we might initially think.

For it is a vivid picture of our own condition before God: broken, in exile, and desperately in need of grace.

And yet, it is also a story of unexpected summons, of grace that seeks us out, and of a royal table where there is always a place reserved for us — not because of who we are…

…but because of Whose we are.

The Stewardship of the Mystery [Ephesians 3:7-10]

August 22, 2010

Sermon Notes

Date: 08/22/2010

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 3:7-10

Description:  The life of Paul the Apostle may be one of the greatest examples of the efficacy of God’s grace. Born Saul of Tarsus, Paul would never in a million years have guessed that he would become an Apostle — hand-selected by Jesus Christ to minister to the Gentiles. In fact, he spent his younger years trying to destroy and stamp out the church in its infancy. But God’s grace was given to him and made him a minister of the unfathomable riches found in Christ to the Gentiles. Paul also shows us a glimpse into the sovereign purposes behind the church and that is to declare the Lord’s manifold wisdom to the angels. This is simply an amazing and rich passage of Scripture that deserves our full attention.
