Ephesians, Part 1 / His Story, Our Story / Ephesians 1:1-14

Before the foundation of the world, God saw us, loved us, and chose us to be part of His family through Jesus. Our salvation is not something we could ever earn or achieve on our own—it is the beautiful gift of God’s grace, poured out through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. And God didn’t leave us wondering if we truly belong to Him; He gave us the Holy Spirit as His promise and guarantee that we are His now and forever. In light of all He has done, our hearts can’t help but respond with worship, gratitude, and lives that bring Him praise.
