Sunday's Message
SUNDAY'S MESSAGE

Sunday, July 28
Message By: Pastor Moose
Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21 & John 6:10-13
Message Title: Filled Entirely with the Fullness of God
Liturgist: Connie Correa



Weekly Devotion
WEEKLY DEVOTION

Devotion: Ephesians. 3:14-21 and John 6:10-13

As followers of Jesus Christ, for us to have experiential knowledge of the things of God, we must be strengthened in our inner self, in our hearts. On our own, we are incapable of understanding the things of God. This can only come from the great personal work of the Holy Spirit in us.

This strengthening is "according to the riches of his glory." Paul is talking to us about how God desires that we be strengthened by the Holy Spirit in a manner that reflects the riches of God's own glory so that Christ may "dwell" in our hearts, in our lives through faith.

As the church, we strive to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. Paul reminds us that the love of Christ is beyond mere intellectual comprehension, but by God's love, we are allowed to understand, or grasp that love in our hearts in its width, length, height, and depth.

Filled with the fullness of God! How can we frail, redeemed humans be filled with the fullness of God? From our human vantage point, this may seem impossible, but Paul prays for it, AND SO SHOULD WE because with God, it is possible. Jesus's feeding of the five thousand in John 6:10-13 is a gentle reminder to our daily Christian lives that nothing we face here on earth is too big for God, Jesus is enough for any of our expectations, and he uses other people to bless others (each on reach one), and ultimately, it shows Jesus's compassion for His people. Through this miracle, we are reassured of Jesus's love for us.

Paul says in Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever".

As a church and congregation, this is also our prayer. Glory to God. Amen.
