Ephesians Series - Part 3 - Three Architectures - Us - The Heavenlies - The Church

In part 3 of this series, Tim looks at Ephesians chapter 2. This is a letter to a church that was extraordinary in its influence, such that from Ephesus, the gospel went out and filled Asia as they knew it at the time, and there was nowhere left to for Paul to preach. The start of this chapter reminds us not to become proud of our progress. Tim then unpacks three architectures from this chapter - the architecture of us as God’s poetic masterpiece, the architecture of the heavenly places, and the architecture of the church, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. So much of the modern church as we have known it has been built on the foundation of pastors and teachers, which puts a ceiling on the whole environment such that the church becomes ineffective in its mission. Tim calls us back to building on the foundation that God designed for His church so that the church will become everything that He intended in the earth.
