Ephesians: Mystery and Mission - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 06 29 25

In this passage, Paul reflects on his unique calling to make known the mystery of the gospel—that through Christ, Gentiles now have full access to God as co-heirs in His family. He emphasizes that this mystery was hidden for generations but is now revealed through the Spirit and entrusted to the church. Paul’s imprisonment is not a defeat but part of God’s mission, showing that suffering can serve a greater purpose. The church plays a vital role in displaying God’s wisdom to the world and even to heavenly realms. Because of Christ, believers have bold access to God and should not lose heart in trials. This passage challenges us to embrace our role in God’s mission with humility, boldness, and hope as the bride of Christ on mission with Him!
