Main Text: Ephesians 2:1–10 Key Verse: Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”ObjectiveTo help believers discover their God-given identity, understand how it was lost through sin, and celebrate how it’s restored in Christ—making them different by design, not default. @jaisonkoshy @globalicc @TheWord @thetruthguid @ChristisLord ​

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

We live in a fallen world where good behavior is not always rewarded, and bad behavior is not always punished. Innocent people sometimes suffer. Jesus warned us that we would have trouble, but He also promised us peace and victory.

Instead of being surprised by suffering, we can accept it as part of living in a broken world, while trusting that God is still in control.

Bible References:

• Psalm 34:19 — “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.”
  Romans 8:18 — “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”

How will you respond to Jesus?

Text: John 9:25

“In this chapter, we see four very different reactions to Jesus and to this undeniable miracle. And those same reactions still happen today when people encounter Jesus. Let’s look at them and ask ourselves: How will I respond to Jesus?”

Many of us are held back—not by physical chains—but by fear of what others think, craving approval, or fear of rejection. We know we’re called to live boldly for God, but we get stuck—trapped by fear.

Proverbs 29:25 warns us clearly:

“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.”

Fear is no respecter of persons. No matter how strong your faith, how high you’ve risen, or how far you’ve come, fear can still find its way into the heart. Even the greatest among us — prophets, kings, and apostles — have faced moments where fear threatened to overtake them. Fear may be inevitable, but so is the power of our God to overcome it. And praise God — through Him, we are not called to be slaves to fear!
