Summary

(Ephesians 3:14-21) Like Ephesus was in the Apostle Paul’s day, our world is filled with money, religion, education, and debauchery. Despite what the current culture is overflowing with, it is God’s desire that His church be filled with Himself. What does that look like and how does it happen?

0:00.0	There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.
0:09.0	Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.
0:15.0	Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's
0:22.1	pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days.
0:29.4	It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today. Would you open your Bible with me please to the book of Ephesians?
0:45.7	And if you happen to be at a table and you don't have a Bible with you, scoot over and get next to somebody that does.
0:51.3	And if you have a Bible, you can share with someone so all of us can look at the
0:54.4	Word of God. I'd like to do that because, frankly, it's not the preacher's sermon that makes
0:59.0	the difference. It is the power of the Word of God. And I bring you to the book of Ephesians
1:03.0	because this book is a book of fullness. We're living in a world of empty souls. Vanity of vanity,
1:10.5	Solomon wrote, all is vanity. Emptiness of emptiness. He said,
1:14.3	you get to the bottom and go lower. That's the where we're living in. You know why that is? Because
1:19.4	sin drains every good thing out of us. Satan is a thief. He's a robbery. He comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy. The world
1:30.6	is a taker, but God is the God of fullness, and he is a great giver. He is the one who is always
1:37.6	filling us with every good thing. And God's divine intention is that your heart, look at me please, your heart would be full of him.
1:48.4	Your family would be full of him, that this church would be full of him, that this town would be filled with a testimony of the glory of God.
1:59.1	In fact, in the end of the age, the Bible says he's going to fill
2:02.3	the whole earth with his glory. Anybody else looking forward to that day? And all the emptiness
2:07.2	will be gone and all of it will be filled with who God is. But we can have a little taste of that now.
2:14.3	Because though we're not yet in heaven, we are seated with him in the heavenly places
2:18.2	and that's the emphasis of the book of Ephesians now this is really interesting but
2:22.8	Ephesus was full of lots of things it was full of a diverse population they tell me
