Rewrite the Story

Aug 24, 2025    Joe Brumfield

In this powerful exploration of Ephesians, we're challenged to embrace the transformative process of rewriting our life's story through God's grace and redemption. The central message revolves around how God's immediate grace changes our spiritual status, while redemption is an ongoing process requiring our active participation. We're reminded that as citizens of heaven, we're called to rise above worldly thinking and grow into spiritual maturity. The imagery of a rising temple beautifully illustrates our collective growth in Christ. This message encourages us to grasp God's love that surpasses knowledge, reminding us that our worth in God's eyes is immeasurable. As we put off our old selves and put on the new, we're invited to open ourselves to new experiences in our faith journey, even when it feels uncomfortable. This overview challenges us to consider: How are we actively participating in God's redemptive work in our lives? Are we allowing ourselves to be transformed, or are we resisting change?
