\"Ephesians\"<\/a>Paul in verse 2 declares that what God has given him was for those at the church in Ephesus.\u00a0 There was a greater purpose than Paul in his salvation.\u00a0 Today we are part of Paul\u2019s greater purpose by receiving the gospel of Christ.\u00a0 You and I receiving the gospel is for a greater cause than just our personal redemption.<\/p>\n

Paul even explains that the trouble we experience is for our glory! Which in turn brings glory to Christ and the gospel.\u00a0 Get this point; all that we go through is not to bring us our desires, but to a deeper and greater relationship with God.\u00a0 We are strengthened in the Spirit in verse 16.\u00a0 We get deeper faith which is rooted in God\u2019s love in verse 17.\u00a0 We get to understand and know God\u2019s love in verse 18 and 19. \u00a0We then get to see God work past all our expectations!\u00a0 Paul said exceedingly, abundantly, above all we ask and think.\u00a0 I love this, because I have a mind that can think of some outlandish ideas, and God said He exceeds that.\u00a0 What a wonderful relationship God desires for us to have and grow in.\u00a0 Are you ready for a life that is beyond anything experienced before?\u00a0 Start today to walk in God\u2019s Word and ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2712"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2713,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2712\/revisions\/2713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
