Ephesians: The Good Story (Week 6) - Strengthen the Inner Being

Drawing from the long-running Harvard Study of Adult Development, Pastor Ben shows how decades of data uncovered an unexpected conclusion: what determines human flourishing isn’t intellect, class, or achievement, but love. Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 mirrors this discovery as he intercedes for the church to be strengthened in their inner being so they can grasp the width, length, height, and depth of Christ’s love. This message traces the inner life where God’s Spirit dwells, the rooted and established love that nourishes and stabilizes the soul, and the experiential knowledge of God that moves beyond mere information. The passage culminates in Paul’s doxology, lifting up a God whose love fills, forms, and transforms His people into a community marked by resilience, unity, and deep relational wholeness.
