Ephesians 3 is going to reframe our thinking:
Reframe the Mystery
Reframe Our Purpose
Reframe God’s Ability
Have you ever really disliked someone?
Open with story of me not inviting Brandy Ashley to VBS.
This is kind of like the relationship the Jews hand with the Gentiles (non-Jews).
This was never God’s intent, God’s heart was for the world right from the beginning.
We see in Genesis 12:
Nevertheless, people tend to grow in self-superiority.
People tend to think more highly of themselves than of others.
Reframe the Mystery
Our culture’s idea that everyone should be saved except rapists and murderers shows that we don’t understand the holiness of God.
The question is not, “Why doesn’t God save more people?”
The question is, “Why does God save anyone at all?”
Story of 2 girls in the HUB.
“I don’t think it’s right that murderers and rapist should be able to believe in Jesus and go to Heaven.”
At the same time, they were perfectly fine with their level of morality.
To understand the mystery we must understand that:
1. God decides what is good and what is evil.
2. God decides what is just.
Reframe Our Purpose
Our purpose is to worship God.
Nothing will satisfy us more.
And God wants nothing more for us because he loves us.
Because this is the best for us.
Story of guy saying that God has “little man syndrome” because he created us to worship him.
God is inviting us into the coolest, most beautiful, most satisfying relationship.
Reframe God’s Ability
Do you believe that God is at work?
DNA example:
DNA is made up of molecules
DNA resides in each cell’s nucleolus
DNA splits into RNA so the information can be read by Ribosome
Ribosome uses the information from the DNA to create Amino Acids
The very specific and perfect arrangement of Amino Acids produces Proteins
Those proteins go on to produce living cells (37.2 trillion)
Those living cells go on to produce tissue
That tissue goes on to produce organs
Tissue and organs go on to produce you
37,200,000,000,000 cells in 1 person!
God is at work restoring all things.
He is making all things new, he is making all things right.
God has the ability to save that person you don’t like.
God loves him or her and desires that they would repent and enter into a relationship with Him.
God has the ability to save the hardest heart.
God has the ability to save your heart.
