STUDIO

On Sunday, Pastor Eric shared pt. 3 of our Live Above the Noise series, entitled "Love & Mystery". The top 2 genres in literature are Romance and Mystery. This should not surprise us as these are indicative of some of the deepest longings of the human soul. We desire to be loved and accepted. We also are curious creatures and we long to know what is beyond what we know and experience.

Paul says in Ephesians 1:9 “He made known to us the mystery of his will…”

In this letter, Paul unpacks what the mystery was: It is that all of humanity, regardless of ethnicity, culture, and background would be chosen and loved by God. It was not only for a certain ethnicity or culture, but covenant with God was now meant for all of humanity. This was a game changer then and continues to be for us today.

We all have a story about ourselves and sometimes we use our story to decide if God can or should love us. What Paul is pointing out is that there is nothing, including our own stories, that can keep us from the love of God. Our desire is that each of us would move into this reality: The greatest mystery is that God’s love surpasses and overrides anything and everything. Listen to pt. 3 to learn more.
