Easter Message

The message we heard on Easter was one of the most moving and powerful I recall.

It looked at Ephesians 1:15-23 and the knowledge that Paul prayed for the Ephesians to have (experiential... not merely intellectual or factual, like the devil has).

And it explored the power at work in the lives of believers... a power that correlates to God's power in:

1) Raising Jesus from the dead,
2) Seating Him at the right hand of His throne,
3) Exalting Him above every other authority in the universe,
4) Putting all things under His feet, and
5) Making us the Church His body.

Why do we not feel like an incredible power is working in our lives?

Because we have eyes that need to be enlightened. We need help to see:

1) The blinding, deadening power of sin. Any measure of victory over sin is an awesome display of God's delivering power.
2) The magnitude of the demonic power that comes against us every moment of our lives. Any measure of safety is an awesome display of God's power keeping the evil one at bay.
3) What happened to Jesus after the resurrection... and we need help to recognize that the same power is working in us.

I'd highly recommend listening to the whole thing.
