Another Midweek Message: Every Spiritual Blessing (Ephesians 1:3-14)

In this message, we take a whistle-stop tour of the spiritual blessings that we have in Christ, described in Ephesians 1:3-14.  There's a lot of ground to cover!  So, I've added the table below that I filled on-screen while preaching to help everyone see what the blessings are; where we find them; and why we receive them.

What is the blessing?	Where is it found?	Why do we receive it?
Innocence (v4)	In Christ (v4)	God’s Choice (v4)
Adoption (v5)	Through Christ (v5)	God’s Blessing (v5)
Unceasing Mercy (v6)	In Christ (v6)	God’s Navigation (v6)
Freedom (v7)	In Christ (v7)	God’s Grace (v7)
Forgiveness (v7)	In Christ (v7)	God’s Grace (v7)

The Midweek Message: Grace and Peace (Ephesians 1)
