Ephesians 3:14–21
Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian church reminds us that spiritual strength, a deeper knowledge of Christ’s love, and renewed life in the church all begin with earnest prayer. Rev. John Phillips challenges us to move beyond distracted prayer and seek the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 4:1–5, 13–25
This Father’s Day sermon reflects on Abraham’s faith, a father’s influence, and the grace of God that saves us through Jesus Christ. Through Scripture and personal memories, we are reminded that real faith trusts God’s promise, leads the home with love, and stands firm without compromise.
