A Life of Discovery | Ephesians 1:18–23

November 1, 2026 · 48 min

Has the Christian life become a drudgery instead of a discovery? Paul prayed that the eyes of our hearts would be opened so we could see what God has already given us.We walk through Ephesians 1:18–23 and the three things Paul prays we will understand: the hope of his calling, the riches of his inheritance in the saints, and the greatness of his power. Along the way, we look at four Greek words for power and what a trip tracing the Exodus showed us about the journey of faith.0:00 Walking Out of Egypt With Moses4:40 Two Kinds of Faith9:41 Drudgery or Discovery?13:44 What Hope Really Means17:49 Faith, Hope, and Love21:43 Whose Inheritance Is It?26:14 The Hand I Needed Coming Down30:59 Four Greek Words for Power36:52 The Power That Raised Jesus41:19 Power for an Uncommon Life46:34 Do You Know Christ?We write a personal letter every week, reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose.
