Summary

(Ephesians 1:3-14) In Paul's language, Ephesians 1:3-14 is one continuous long sentence. The entire "run-on sentence" demonstrates that of all the spiritual blessings we have in Christ, the chief blessing is that we've been made part of the family of God! This long sentence begins with grace and ends with the glory of God. (05497211125) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

0:00.0	The best gifts are not material but spiritual, not temporal, but eternal, and not earthly, and not earthly, but heavenly.
0:16.9	In the book of Ephesians, we discover a rich list of what God has given to his children.
0:23.2	Let's join Scott Pauley now as we open this portion of scripture and take inventory of all spiritual blessings that are ours in Christ.
0:44.1	All right, I need all of you grammar teachers to listen very closely today,
0:48.4	because today we're going to look at a run-on sentence.
0:53.3	And before you get too critical of it, I want you to know it's not's not my run-on sentence and it's not somebody else's
0:54.8	run-on sentence. This is God's run-on sentence. We're in Ephesians chapter number one and we are
1:01.4	beginning our look of all spiritual blessings that we have scattered throughout this beautiful book of
1:08.1	Ephesians. And I want to point something out to
1:10.8	today that is just striking to me. Did you know that in Ephesians chapter 1, if you

1:49.9	understand why it all goes together, and then I'm going to tell you why God gave it this way.
1:55.3	Listen to Ephesians chapter 1, beginning in verse number 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
2:02.9	who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings
2:06.1	in heavenly places in Christ,
2:09.0	according as He hath chosen us in Him
