Ephesians 1:1–14
Rooted Return

If you had one sentence to describe who God is, what would you say? If you had one sentence to describe who you are in Christ, what would you say?

This Sunday, we begin our new sermon series on Ephesians titled Rooted Return. As we return from summer into fall, from outdoor services to indoor gatherings, we’re reminded that life is full of returns. We often need to return from the narratives the world tells us—or even the lies we tell ourselves—back to the truth of who we are in Jesus.

In Ephesians 1:1–14, Paul gives us a powerful reminder of that truth. In the original language, verses 3–14 form a single, amazing sentence—overflowing with promises about who God is and what he's done for us. This week, we will gather to explore that one sentence together.

In preparation, take time to read it in several translations. Pray over it. Ask: What do these promises mean? Who is God? Who am I in Christ?
