Ephesians 1:3-14 - Blessed to Praise

Blessed to Praise - Ephesians 1:3-14

Summary:
Pastor Chris Jessee's sermon, "Blessed to Praise," explores the blessings bestowed upon us by the Trinity—God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that we are chosen for adoption by God the Father, redeemed for unity in Christ, and sealed for an eternal inheritance through the Holy Spirit.

Key Takeaways:

• Predestination: God's choosing of us before we were born humbles us and highlights His sovereignty and grace.
• Holiness: Being chosen by God leads us to pursue holiness in our lives.
• Redemption: Jesus' sacrifice redeems us from sin and unites us with Him and others.
• The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit seals our salvation and guarantees our future inheritance.
• Praise: Our response to these blessings should be a life of praise and worship to God.

"Does God choose who is saved?"
Pastor Chris addresses the question of predestination, affirming that God chooses us before we choose Him, emphasizing His sovereignty in salvation. However, this doesn't negate our free will to respond to His grace and choose to follow Him.
