He takes listeners into Ephesians to show that before they ever did a single thing to deserve it, God called them to himself, not to a set of rules or a religion, but to a personal relationship. [... more]

God has made you like no other person in the world, gifted and prepared to do a good work. He wants to eradicate guilt and guilty feelings, and has provided a solution through faith in His gift of salvation.

God offers us the kind of security that can't be disrupted by any person or circumstance. We can be completely secure in Christ. Five profound things happen the moment we receive Christ: we're justified, regenerated, reconciled, propitiated, and sealed with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of everything God has promised us. Our Father adopts us into His family and seals us for eternity as His own, giving us the unshakable foundation of who we are in Christ. [... more]

God's plan to give you a security that can't change by circumstances is through Jesus Christ, who died for your sins and offers a personal relationship with Him, providing peace, a new nature, and reconciliation with God. [... more]

You are chosen, adopted, and redeemed by God, purchased at the highest price imaginable. This is the bedrock of a brand new identity, not a motivational phrase. You are free from the expectations of people and valuable before you do anything, accomplish anything, or how anybody thinks. You are needed and worthy, a person that matters. [... more]

We're all searching for significance, but our attempts to find it in success, education, and others' opinions can lead to slavery and acting. The truth is, our value and worth come from being chosen, adopted, and redeemed by God, and we're infinitely precious and treasured possessions in His eyes. [... more]

God wants you, and you are loved and valued by Him. This understanding of adoption can transform your life, leading to intimacy, hope, and assurance. By replacing lies with the truth of God's Word, you can experience a deeper sense of belonging and freedom. [... more]
