Covenant Church RVA Sermons

Pastor Josh introduces the ongoing series in Ephesians, focusing on Ephesians 2:1–10 as a powerful summary of the gospel. Pastor Josh explains that before Christ, people are spiritually dead, following the world, the flesh, and the devil, and are deserving of God’s wrath. But God, rich in mercy, makes believers alive with Christ, saving them by grace through faith. This grace leads to humility and a transformed life marked by good works prepared by God.
 

Pastor Eric brings a message from Ephesians 1:15–23 that reminds believers that God wants them to know Him more deeply. The writer, Paul thanks God for the church’s faith and love, then prays that the Spirit would open their hearts to understand their hope, inheritance, and God’s resurrection power. This same power raised Jesus from the dead and now strengthens believers to live transformed lives. Christ is the head of the church, caring for His people and calling them into unity, love, and spiritual growth.

Pastor Josh walks through Ephesians 1:3–14, highlighting how the Father chose us, the Son redeemed us, and the Spirit sealed us—unpacking adoption, redemption through Christ’s blood, and the Spirit as our guarantee.He calls the church to respond in heartfelt worship and praise for God’s sovereign, loving grace that secures our inheritance and shapes our lives.
