Pastor Brandon Sales
A Prayer to Know God More
Ephesians 1:11-14 (English Standard Version)
March 2, 2025

  • 15For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

  • “Desperation in prayer is the recognition that our need is so great, we cannot live without God’s help, and that only He can deliver us.” -Andrew Murray; Pastor & Theologian

  • • Chosen by God (Ephesians 1:4)
    • Adopted into God’s family (Ephesians 1:5)
    • Redeemed and forgiven (Ephesians 1:7)
    • Sealed by the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13)

  • Above all else, guard your heart; for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23 NIV)

    3For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

    “Paul did not ask for riches, or honor, or worldly influence for the saints at Ephesus, but that they might know God more clearly, love Him more dearly, and follow Him more nearly.” -Charles Spurgeon

  • Because relationship with one another is at the core of being a disciple of Christ, we invite you to find community and experience spiritual transformation through LCC’s groups, classes, events, and service opportunities.
