Your Story, God’s Story | Ephesians 3:1-13
When the gospel came to Ephesus in the first century AD, a riot broke out. The good news of Jesus upended pagan ways of thinking and living. A similar confrontation awaits us as we encounter Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This glorious epistle challenges us to ponder the story we're living in, the purpose we're pursuing, and the relationships we're building along the way. In this series, we see how gospel doctrine ignites renewal and love as we get swept up in God’s purpose to unite and fill all things in Jesus Christ.
Everyone has a story and everyone is still writing their story. In Ephesians 3 we see how Paul knows his own story, knows God's story and knows what it means to live in God's story. The question becomes, whose story are you living in? It is only when we get caught up in God's larger story do we live lives of meaning, intentionality and purpose. Because the story you live will be the story you live out.
