For three weeks we talked about our identity in Christ. So what. What
does this matter on Monday morning when I'm staring the same sin in the
face for the bazillionth time or when I'm wanting to take that
impossible step I've always shied away from. In this sermon, Nate
Cartel gives us a glimpse of the power that is available to Christians
because of the inheritance that they've been given. It's the beginning
of the practical "how to" of the Christian life that is revealed in the
book of Ephesians.

This is the third message in the Ephesians series that is completely
devoted to the identity of the Christian. Find out in this sermon about
how God has put down a nonrefundable deposit of himself into each
Christian as a way of assuring them that they have been adopted as his
sons and daughters which is just the beginning of a huge trust fund to
come.
In this sermon, Robert dives into the "mystery of God's will" that the
Apostle talks about in Ephesians chapter one. A rare look into the
divine day-timer of God where we see the key for unlocking all of human
history and our own personal lives as well.
Take a trip with Robert (our lead pastor) as he walks us through Paul's
planting of the church at Ephesus. It's the last place anybody would
think of planting a church, yet is exactly the kind of place that God
chooses to start a new expression of his people for all to see His
glory. This also gives a good rundown of some of the central church
planting principles that have emerged in MERCYhouse since the
beginning. Our hope is that these same principles will be continually
lived out in church plants (50 by 2020) all over our valley.

This is the introduction sermon for this semester's series (Identity).
We'll be working our way through the book of Ephesians, seeking to
discover our identity in Christ and how to live that identity out both
as individuals and as a community. In this sermon, we find ourselves
transported to the heavenly realms, outside of time and space - for the
purpose of finding out who we were chosen to be before we even existed.
