LIVE MESSAGE: BIG PRAYER, BIGGER GOD
Scripture: Ephesians 3:14–21 ESV
By Dr. Peter J. Williams
Pastor Philip Miller
Scripture Reading Epheasians 4:1–6 ESV
Epheasians 4 ESV and Audio
Unity in the Body of Christ
4 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Scripture: Ephesians 3:14–21 ESV
Ephesians 1-3 ESV and Audio
Prayer for Spiritual Strength
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 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, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Notes
The Book of Ephesians is about God’s plan for the fullness of time to unite all things throughout eternity. God’s plan is the biggest logistic undertaking of all time.
Against that backdrop, we get a prayer report from Paul in Ephesians 3 about the way he prays for the church.
Paul’s primary point is this: To grasp the breadth of the love of Christ, you need to view it alongside all the saints. You cannot get a the full view of Christ’s love as an individual. Because both Jew and Gentile are now united in Christ, together we can approach the throve of God’s grace to get a glimpse of His awesome love for us.
Takeaway: how can we be filled with all the “fullness of God”? We need to have unity with the church to grasp the love of God.
Benediction

PASTOR TO PEOPLE
I have some encouraging news to share!
For the last two years, The Moody Church has participated in the Best Christian Workplaces Institute’s engagement survey, which helps Christian churches and non-profits understand their organization’s health and employee engagement in order to identify blind spots and build a flourishing workplace culture. Because we believe healthy ministry flows from a healthy team, we’ve been grateful for their help. Last year was our first time participating in the survey, and the results we received clarified our key strengths and underlined some significant areas needing improvement. Our Elders and senior staff took the results to heart and got down to work. We endeavored to become better listeners and more intentional in cultivating our staff culture.
Just a few days ago, we received the results of our second engagement survey and learned that The Moody Church had such healthy results from our employee feedback that we’d been certified as one of the Best Christian Workplaces for 2022. I can’t tell you how delighted I am to see such marked improvement in such a short period of time. It’s a testimony to the accumulative effects of a lot of team building that has occurred throughout the year and at every level of our organization. As a church leadership, we’re so grateful for the ways God is growing us as a church, not just in the ministry we’re doing, but in the team we’re becoming. Serving Jesus is truly a team effort.
I thought you’d enjoy hearing the good news. Let’s give God the glory.
Because we are loved, more than we know!
