Ephesians 3

Both last Sunday and last Wednesday, we have looked at God’s plan for bringing the gentiles
into the “spiritual tent” so to speak. In chapter three, Paul is writing the church in Ephesus
basically telling them like my momma used to say, “It’s all gonna be alright”. Paul was
imprisoned and he was going through tribulations and they were no doubt distressed about it.

Think about how you all would feel here at Union Grove if I had helped you come to the Lord
and grow in the Lord and then you saw me taken into captivity where I was held prisoner. You
would be wondering, “Can we really trust the things that he told us?” “I wonder if he really did
something wrong?” You might be tempted to say, “I know what I felt when he led me to Christ,
but was it all for naught?” In these few verses we see that God was totally in charge of Paul’s
life. This raises the question: Who is in charge of your life?
