Ephesians | BUT God
1w ago00:33:19Tap to summarizeHave you ever wondered if your past has defined your future? Have you ever felt like your failures, regrets, or mistakes were too great for God to overcome? In this powerful message from Ephesians 2:1–10, Jarod Phillips unpacks one of the most hope-filled passages in all of Scripture. Paul paints an honest picture of humanity's condition—we were spiritually dead, separated from God, and unable to save ourselves. But then comes one of the greatest turning points in the Bible: "But God..." Those two words change everything. Discover how God's incredible mercy and unfailing love rescue us through grace—not because of anything we've done, but because of everything Christ has already accomplished. Learn what it means to be made alive in Christ, raised into a new identity, and called to live out the purpose God designed specifically for you. In this message, you'll discover: Why grace can never be earned. What it truly means to be spiritually alive. How your identity is found in Christ, not your past. Why good works are the result of salvation—not the requirement for it. How God has uniquely created you to impact His Kingdom. Whether you're exploring Christianity, returning to your faith, or looking for encouragement in your walk with Jesus, this message will remind you that no life is beyond God's redemption and no story is beyond His ability to rewrite. At OneChurch, our mission is simple: Changing the world, one person at a time.

Ephesians | Living in the Light (Part 3)
3w ago00:52:17Tap to summarizeWhat if the greatest threat to your spiritual growth isn't open rebellion against God—but becoming comfortable with darkness while convincing yourself you're still walking in the light? In Living in the Light | Part 3, Pastor Ken continues our journey through Ephesians with a powerful teaching from Ephesians 5:1-14. Paul challenges believers to move beyond surface-level Christianity and embrace a life that genuinely reflects the character of Christ. This message explores what it means to imitate God as His beloved children, walk in sacrificial love, and pursue a lifestyle that honors Him. Pastor Ken unpacks Paul's warning against compromise, the danger of redefining sin, and the subtle ways culture can desensitize us to things that grieve the heart of God. You'll discover why discipleship is about more than avoiding obvious sin—it's about learning to discern what pleases the Lord. Through Paul's call to live as children of light, we are reminded that the Christian life isn't measured by how close we can get to the line, but by how closely we walk with Jesus. This message also examines the transforming power of God's light. Darkness conceals, deceives, and isolates, but the light of Christ reveals, heals, and restores. What remains hidden often remains strong, but what is brought into the light can finally be transformed. Whether you're wrestling with compromise, seeking greater spiritual maturity, or longing for a deeper relationship with Christ, this message is a compelling invitation to wake up, walk in the light, and live out the new identity God has given you. "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." — Ephesians 5:14 Join us as we discover what it truly means to live as children of light in a world that desperately needs to see the light of Christ shine through His people.

Ephesians | Living in the Light
Jun 900:43:10Tap to summarizeMany people know about Jesus, but far fewer experience the transformation that comes from truly following Him. In this week's message from our Ephesians series, Pastor Ken explores Ephesians 4:17-24 and challenges believers to examine whether they are still living according to old patterns of thinking, believing, and behaving. The Apostle Paul warns Christians not to continue living like those who are spiritually disconnected from God. Instead, believers are called to walk in the light, allow the Holy Spirit to renew their minds, and embrace the new identity they have received through Christ. Pastor Ken explains how spiritual darkness begins when people reject God's truth and gradually become insensitive to His voice. Over time, a hardened heart develops, making it more difficult to recognize conviction, truth, and God's direction. But the good news is that transformation is possible. Through Jesus Christ, we are no longer defined by our old nature. We are invited to throw off the old self, renew our minds daily, and put on the new nature that reflects God's righteousness and holiness. You'll learn: • What it means to "walk" differently as a follower of Jesus • Why spiritual confusion begins with rejecting God's truth • The biblical meaning of a hardened heart • How repeated exposure to sin affects the conscience • Why Christianity is about knowing Christ, not simply knowing facts • How the Holy Spirit renews thoughts and attitudes • The connection between mindset and spiritual growth • Practical ways to live out your identity in Christ every day Powerful Takeaway: "Don't spend your life settling for the old self when God has already given you a new one." Whether you're new to faith, returning to church, or seeking spiritual growth, this message will help you understand how God's truth can transform the way you think, live, and follow Jesus.

In this deeply powerful message from Ephesians 1, Pastor Ken Senchal reveals one of the most transformational truths of the Gospel: God didn't just forgive you — He adopted you into His family.

In this message, Pastor Ken unpacks: • What it means to be adopted by God • The inheritance believers have in Christ • The role of the Holy Spirit as God's guarantee • Why relationship with God matters more than religious routine • How believers can stop living like slaves and begin walking confidently as children of God • Why isolation weakens spiritual growth • The importance of biblical community and fellowship This message is filled with biblical truth, hope, healing, and encouragement for anyone struggling with identity, fear, purpose, shame, or feeling far from God.
