- Are you ready to discover the incredible depth of your spiritual blessings? In this first message of our series, “Alive with Christ,” we unpack the meaning of “blessed with every spiritual blessing.” We also explore the significance of being chosen and predestined by God. Is it really about individual pre-selection by God or something more loving and unifying?
Prepare to be amazed at how God freely bestows His grace upon us. Don’t miss this eye-opening teaching that will challenge your perspective and deepen your understanding of redemption, forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit.
Discussion Questions for Ephesians 1:1-14:
1. Read verse 3. What does it mean to you to be “blessed with every spiritual blessing”?
2. What do “chose us” (verse 4) and “predestined us” (verse 5) mean in context? (Hint: Consider “we” in verse 12 and “you also” in verse 13.)
3. Read verses 6-8 and react to this statement: God freely bestowed His grace on you and lavished you with it!
4. Review verse 7. Why is it important to see redemption and forgiveness as a package deal? How do some split them up by claiming to have one without fully having the other?
5. Read verse 12-13. Who were “the first to hope in Christ”? How does this provide context for the true meaning of predestination? How does “you also” offer context as well?
6. Read verse 13 and react to this statement: We’re sealed with the Holy Spirit when we hear and believe the Gospel. (Hint: Note both the method of salvation and the choice involved!)
7. Read verse 14 and react to this statement: The Holy Spirit is God’s promise of your inheritance! Also, how is this reward of the inheritance - as in Colossians 3:24 - different from earning rewards?

God so loved us ( the world) that He sent us His only begotten Son . John 3:16--18. In order that we might be redeemed to Himself and have peace with Father God. Propitiation
Even those Canadian maple syrup junkies !!! 🤪
NEEDED THIS TODAY!! THANK YOU ANDREW!!
How can I change my behavior 😢
how can we still behave like sinners and inherit the Kingdom ? Surely we have to be different ?
We already are - in our transformed hearts. We used to be self-righteous and religiously self-centered, but we identified with Christ crucified and let the cross judge our old man to be with Him resurrected in Spirit. For that reason, we are dependent on God for righteousness and peace with Him, not looking to Our righteousness based on the Law but with thankful hearts focused on Him.
A saved person's spirit is perfectly forgiven and regenerated, a new creation spiritually...but our saved soul and body are now in a growth mode as we daily rely on Christ and the Holy Spirit in us to express the love and presence of God to the world around us. But we as humans still have daily choices to make that sometimes align with our new nature, and sometimes align with the flesh, i.e., not our true spiritual nature, but the power of sin and the fallen world that we are still a part of, as we are still living in it physically. All of us have our favorite ways of the flesh that we resort to as a survival mechanism in this life, but our saved nature never changes. A true alcoholic, which is mostly a body disease, and a gossip, which is mostly a soul disease, are issues that some saved people are forced to deal with on a daily basis. And some of us don't show these obvious sins outwardly, but still need to rely on our gifted relationship with God as the basis of our daily life.
Pray for Donna she has stage 3 cancer
Father, I ask that you touch Donna with your healing grace. In Jesus' name, I pray 🙏
Ima li itko da sluša Andewa i da je iz Zagreba? Neka mi se javi da malo popričamo o duhovnosti.
So how do I am saved? In the flesh or in the spirit? I feel like I'm always doing something wrong 😢
Hi, remember you are a Spirit. U live in a body. U have a soul. U are saved immediately and forever when you accept the Savior. Body and soul is another issue. Your behavior will change/be transformed gradually as you renew your mind by exposing it to God's word. Don't worry. It takes time. God still loves you even when you fail.
I can't live it😢
No one can. That's why we need Jesus
Beverly Heavens 😂😂😂
The church need to wake up and stand for Israel on these devastating tines.
If that is your only focus, you will lose sight of what God wants
Think again before replying. You don't know what you're talking about.
