More Than All We Can Ask of Think

The sermon centers on the divine power and glory displayed through the church, anchored in Ephesians 3:20–21, which affirms that God is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within believers. Drawing from the congregation's history, including its transition from the United Church of Christ to the PCA, the preacher illustrates how God's faithfulness and transformative power have been evident in both personal and corporate renewal. The message emphasizes that God's purpose for the church is not self-advancement but the glorification of Christ, where every act of faith, service, and perseverance reflects His sovereign majesty. The tone is both pastoral and triumphant, celebrating God's faithfulness while calling believers to live with bold hope and sanctified imagination. Ultimately, the church exists not for itself, but to manifest the glory of God in Christ, a mission sustained by the Holy Spirit and fulfilled in worship, witness, and enduring community.
