The Ever Deepening Life of a Believer (Ephesians 1:17)

Are you continually growing deeper in your walk with Christ? Or has it become stagnant, stale, or still?

The Christian life is not a passive hope that we will grow in Christ or eventually look more like Him, rather it is an intentional pursuit of Him.

In short, every believer should experience the reality of an ever-deepening experience into the life of Jesus Christ.

In this expositional sermon, Nathan Johnson examines Paul’s desire and prayer in Ephesians 1:17 and looks at what it means to have God’s wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Himself … in this ever-increasing life we experience in Christ.
