God's Saving Grace Ephesians 3:8 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of Ephesians 3 .8, the New
• 0:03
  Testament book Ephesians 3 .8. It says, To me,
• 0:07
  the very least of all the saints, this grace
• 0:08
  was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable
• 0:11
  riches of Christ. Paul was talking about himself,
• 0:14
  and much has been made of how he said he was
• 0:17
  the very least of all the saints. A saint is
• 0:19
  a holy one, a servant of God, and he was that.
• 0:21
  I think about myself and I think about the things
• 0:23
  that I did that would keep me out of heaven,
• 0:25
  the things that I did that would send me to hell.
• 0:26
  We all have sinned and fall short of the glory
• 0:28
  of God. But the gift of God is eternal life through
• 0:31
  Jesus Christ, his son. And so I am grateful.
• 0:35
  to be saved now, to have a Lord and a Savior,
• 0:37
  and I hope you are as well. Then it is grace
• 0:40
  that we are given the opportunity to preach,
• 0:42
  to proclaim, to teach the truth of the unfathomable
• 0:45
  riches of Christ to anyone that's in our circle,
• 0:47
  anyone that we're in contact with. It's grace
• 0:50
  because it's more than we deserve. It's grace
• 0:52
  because we now have a place to belong, a thing
• 0:54
  to do, a person to be. We can grow and grow and
• 0:57
  grow until Jesus comes again, and we can serve
• 0:59
  and serve and serve and give and give and give.
• 1:02
  Get involved in your local church. Serve. Christ
• 1:04
  until Jesus comes again. Check us out online
• 1:06
  at churchtoledo .com. There's information there
• 1:10
  about New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church services.
• 1:12
  You can go to the church hunting page and look
• 1:14
  for a church in your area. And there's a good
• 1:17
  lesson on there about what a good local church
• 1:19
  is. I know sometimes it's hard to find a good
• 1:21
  local church to belong to. God wants you where
• 1:24
  God has put you. And that means, by his grace,
• 1:26
  preaching the unfathomable riches of Christ whenever
• 1:29
  you possibly can. God bless you today.
