“Understanding Your Place” by Greg Chandler
“Seeing the Big Picture” is a phrase that has been in our vocabulary for at least 75 years. It denotes understanding how all the perceived “smaller parts” work together as a whole. Ephesians 1-3 is a “big picture” view of God’s grand plan of salvation. In these chapters, Paul demonstrates how the mystery has been revealed in Jesus Christ and, as he brings these powerful thoughts to a climax, he...

“The Mystery Revealed” by Greg Chandler
Mysteries have long been a staple of popular literature. Readers enjoy putting the pieces together, including that final piece that helps everything make sense. In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul employs the term mystery to the plan of God. He explains that it is through Jesus that the mystery is made known. This study will examine the implications of this revealed mystery, seeing what ...

“What Gentiles Need to Know” by Greg Chandler
Knowing your family history is not always a good thing. While those related to presidents, celebrities, and philanthropists will brag about their DNA connection, it is a different story when the genealogy is filled with criminals and reprobates; these details are often left unspoken. As Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he told the Gentiles about their family history, and it was nothing to bring pri...

“Paul’s Prayer for the Ephesians…and for Us” by Greg Chandler
As the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he shared a very comforting thought that he was praying for them.

“Psalm 124: The Lord is on Our Side” by Greg Chandler
Feeling powerless is a frightening experience, yet it is one that often confronts humanity. Both in ancient times as well as modern, men and women struggle when they feel there is no one to help. In defeating such feelings, the author of Psalm 124 robustly stated that the Lord was on His side; later, Israelites would take the psalm as a hymn of victory to remind them of who fought their battles...

“He Who Hears My Word” by Greg Chandler
Sometimes being close is good, but not good enough. Luke illustrates this with two accounts, one dealing with a foreigner and one with the Jews. As he recounts these events, he demonstrates that while the Jews in Jesus’ presence are close to understanding his greatness, it is the foreigner who really “gets it.” These ancient accounts provide very important lessons for a modern audience. This st...

“Leadership in the Church” by Greg Chandler
As God established His plans for churches, He knew that guidance and oversight would be essential.

The type of leadership they are to give is demonstrated in God designating them shepherds. This sermon will focus o...

“Economics and Eternity” by Greg Chandler
We have long tried to deemphasize the importance of possessions with phrases such as, “You can’t take it with you” or, “You’ve never seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul.” Still, Christians struggle with trust in “stuff” more than trust in God. This, however, is nothing new. As a man worried about receiving an inheritance interrupted Jesus’ teaching, the Lord schooled him in the danger of this proble...

While many things could have been discussed as examples of this, Paul chose brotherly relationships in Christ. This study will fo...
