Ephesians 1:15-23

Do What You Can
Every Super Hero is a normal person who then gets extraordinary power. The new life we have in Jesus gives us the ability to love and care for others. We have a role as the hands and feet of Jesus. There are so many around us who need help, even just a little encouragement can go a long way. Ask...

This challenges the idea that everyone is automatically a child of God and highlights the...

Jehovah 'Ori (God our Light)
Have you ever felt that need for pitch-black darkness to sleep in? In a world filled with artificial light, the value of light as a commodity from ancient times becomes more apparent. The sun, moon, and stars were the primary sources of light. In our exploration of the names of God, we've now...

Qanna (Jealous)
In today's sermon, we explored the name of God, Qanna, which means "Jealous," a term used in the Bible to exclusively describe God's unique form of jealousy, distinct from sinful envy or coveting. We learned that God's jealousy is rooted in His desire for what rightfully belongs to Him and His...
-
Jehovah-Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You)
This week we explores the concept of Jehovah-Mekoddishkem, focusing on the process of sanctification in a believer's life. It highlights that God sets a high standard for holiness, which remains unchanged but is made clearer with the Holy Spirit's guidance. Salvation is seen as a journey of…
more -
Jehovah-Jireh (The Lord Will Provide)
This week we explore the name of God, Jehovah-Jireh, which means "God Will Provide." We dive into the story of Abraham and Isaac, highlighting Abraham's trust as God provided a substitute for Isaac's sacrifice. This name emphasizes God's role as our ultimate provider, offering not only physical...

YHWH/Jehovah
This week, we explore the significance of the name YHWH (Jehovah), used over 6,500 times in the Old Testament. It symbolizes God's holiness and authority. The book of Revelation exemplifies the awe-inspiring encounter with God's holiness. This name also emphasizes God's lordship, demanding our...

-
Surrender (Acts 13)
So much of Paul's ministry is defined by surrender. God can, and wants to do incredible things through us, but we limit Him based on what we're willing to give up. Paul was willing to surrender everything including his identity in pursuit of being used by God for the advancement of the gospel.
-
New Year Prayer Day (2023)
A shorter message than usual because we spent much of the day in prayer. But we looked at Romans 12:1-2 and the challenge to prioritize the kingdom of God, and refocus on spiritual things as we start off the new year.
-
Joy (Advent 2022)
It seems like we are growing more and more exhausted as a culture. We are burnt out, running around, and hanging on by a thread. Those aren't things that describe a life of joy. So what is it like to live with Joy? How can we have Joy in a culture of chaos?
-
Anticipation
As we wait for Christmas, we look at those who were waiting in anticipation for Christ's first coming, and ask how we can live with that anticipation looking toward His return.
-
Thanksgiving 2022
Thankfulness is a lifestyle that can be difficult to live out in our culture. We are constantly bombarded by companies trying to make us dissatisfied with what we have so we want more. When we fight for thankfulness because we realize Christ is enough for us, it will lead us to live overflowing...
-
Look Up (Acts 12)
Where do you get your strength? Where does your glory go? We can have a tendency to look to other places to give praise and to get strength. In this chapter of Acts, we see that looking up is always going to provide us with better results. Especially when there are consequences for things like...
-
Love and Law (Acts 10)
The vision God gave Peter can be a tough thing to interpret. As a modern-day believer, it's easy to get confused by what part of the Old Testament Law is still relevant to us. The vision didn't abolish any part of the moral law, but freed believers from the civil and ceremonial laws. God has been...
-
Godly Living (Acts 10)
Cornelius the Centurian was remembered by God because of the way he lived. The qualities used to describe him are qualities that should mark our lives as believers. He was Devout and God-fearing, generous to the needy, and prayed regularly. These are not always the things we think of when we…
more -
The Conversion of Saul
God is so powerful that He can redeem anyone. Saul killed Christians and wasn't too far gone to save. The faithfulness of Ananias to obey God no matter how uncomfortable the request resulted in the salvation of Saul. There are no limits to God's power in what He can do, or how He can use us.
-
Gospel Seasoned Life
The story of Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch is a fantastic example of the ability we have to share the gospel in our lives. It's not something that should feel like a daunting task but is more simple than we realize. Through the Holy Spirit, we can recognize opportunities and meet people where...
-
The Gospel Spreads (Acts 8)
Chapter 8 kind of serves as a catch-all chapter. It contains amazing stories about how the gospel has advanced in the nations. We see how God takes bad things and redeems them in the spreading of the gospel despite persecution. Then the story of Simon the Magician shows us the importance of...
-
Stoning of Stephen
The end of Acts 7 brings us to the end of Stephen's speech and the religious leaders' reaction to the speech. They are heard-hearted and instead of receiving what Stephen has to say they kill him. They had the opportunity to understand God's pursuit of mankind, but instead of being teachable…

234th Anniversary (2022)
God is Faithful. We take an opportunity to share and appreciate what God has done in our lives (which has been edited out for privacy and audio issues). Because of God's faithfulness to us, we should respond by being faithful stewards of what He has given us. At Cloud's Creek, everything we do is...
-
A Savior Rejected
We continue to look at Stephen's response to the religious leaders in Acts chapter 7. He begins to point to the parallels between Moses and Jesus, that they were both the saviors who were initially rejected by the nation of Israel. We have to be careful that we don't end up like the religious...
-
Pursuit (Acts 7)
Stephen responds to false accusations by using the platform to share the gospel. He starts back at the patriarch of Israel, Abraham, trying to get the religious leaders to understand God's pursuit of them through the start of history. God is pursuing a relationship with each one of us and He...
-
Prioritize Holy Work (Acts 6)
Things don't just happen because we think they're a good idea, we have to follow through with action. The early church realized the charity aspect of ministry was getting bigger than they could handle, so they appointed men of character to lead this ministry. We still are called to use our gifts...
-
Persecution (Acts 5)
When we are at the center of God's will, we get to see His incredible power as He accomplishes His plans. The believers in Acts got to be part of a jailbreak to advance the Gospel, and when we live in obedience we too will see amazing things happen. They preached the Gospel despite facing...
-
Be Prepared (2 Timothy 3)
As believers, we must ensure that we are prepared to do whatever God calls us to do. God puts us in specific times with a specific purpose, and we have an incredible opportunity to impact the world with the gospel. We just have to be ready to take action when we have the chance.
-
Highly Regarded (Acts 5)
As we watch the Holy Spirit working in the early church, even though they were being persecuted, they were highly regarded among the people. The church today is not highly regarded by the lost people around us. How do we get back to being people who are liked and well-thought-of? It's going to…
more -
Filled With The Spirit (Acts 4-5)
Instead of asking God to get us out of tough situations, we can ask God to help us THROUGH those hard times. The early church asked for boldness when faced with persecution instead of asking for an easier path. Then God delivered! He filled them with the Holy Spirit, which we can also ask God to...
-
Identity Change (Acts 4)
When we follow Christ, it should change our identity. We shouldn't try to hold onto things and not let God change us but should lay down every part of ourselves so that we can be more loving to the world around us. Peter and John had an attitude of "How can we not talk about Jesus!?" and we…
more -
The Early Church (Acts 2)
After receiving the Holy Spirit the people of God gathered together in our first exposure to the church. They were marked with a devotion to learning, strong sense of community, and generosity. These changes the Holy Spirit made in their lives drew more people to join the church and follow Jesus....
-
Peter's Speech (Acts 2)
After the arrival of the Holy Spirit, Peter starts to explain what Jesus has done to the people gathered to see the Holy Spirit. Peter is excited to tell them that Jesus fulfilled prophecies (over 300), He defeated death, and He gives life. As believers, we should be excited about what Jesus has...
-
Preparation and the Holy Spirit
After the Ascension, the disciples knew that they had work to do but didn't have the Holy Spirit yet. They spent their time in preparation both spiritually and physically. Then when the Holy Spirit came everything was different. The Holy Spirit is not a weird mystic part of Christianity, but He…
more -
Acts 1
We kick off our new series in Acts and see that there is a work that God has for us to do. We have to shift our focus from the physical things of the world to look at the Kingdom of God, then realize we have work to do. We should not just be hearers of the word, but doers. God is a God of work…
more -
The Power of Prayer
As we close our series on prayer we talk about the power that we have access to when we pray. Scripture teaches us that there is incredible power in prayer, but the power doesn't come from us. The power of prayer is that we have access to God, when we pray aligned with His will it has an…

Jesus Prayed for You
Did you know that Jesus prayed for you? In John 17 Jesus prays for His disciples, and then for us. We look at how Jesus prayed, and what that means for us today. It is a prayer filled with selflessness and love that shows us His desire for us as His people. He wanted us to be a people of unity…
more -
Who is Jesus?
Many people have asked the question: Who is Jesus? It is an important question for our faith. We take a look at the 7 "I Am" statements that Jesus makes about Himself in scripture.

Praying God's Wil
The concept of God's will can seem daunting to understand, and it is, but there is also an aspect of God's will that is easy to understand. God's will for your life is pretty clearly spelled out in scripture. There are things He wants all believers to do in their lives. We have plenty to do…

Performance of Prayer
We started the morning off by watching a video that was more performance than prayer (Which can be found here). Prayer is not a performance for others, or for God. We don't need to impress anyone else, and we cannot impress God. Prayer is about being in the presence of a God who loves us, not...
