The Basis for Unity

Ephesians 4:4 Paul tells us that Christian unity is grounded in the shared realities believers have in Christ: one body, one Spirit, and one certain hope. Pastor Rod Bunton emphasized how this oneness centers on the Trinity and is lived out through the worldwide church as one body, the Spirit’s uniting work in salvation and sanctification, and confidence in Christ’s return.

God is Unchanging

This lesson explains God’s immutability, meaning God never changes in being, character, plans, or promises while still truly relating to and responding to people. Pastor Ben highlights biblical support for God’s unchanging perfections, purposes, and promises, answers common misunderstandings about God’s emotions and “regret,” and calls listeners to worship and find peace in God’s steady faithfulness.

The First Christian Sermon

Acts 2:22-41 Acts 2:22–41 records Peter’s Pentecost sermon, proclaiming Jesus’ death and resurrection as God’s promised plan and calling hearers to repent and believe. Pastor Rod Bunton highlighted how Peter grounds the message in fulfilled prophecy, eyewitness testimony, and Jesus’ exaltation as Lord and Christ, then presses the response of repentance that led to about three thousand being saved.

Omnipresence

God’s omnipresence means God is truly present everywhere, without having physical size or spatial limits, and no one can flee from God’s presence. Pastor Doug Link emphasized that God’s omnipresence is inseparable from God’s infinity, immutability, eternity, and omnipotence and omniscience, urging believers to be comforted by God’s nearness and motivated to live with integrity before God.

Attitudes for Unity

Ephesians 4:2-3 Ephesians 4:2–3 calls the church to maintain the unity of the Spirit through humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another in love. In this sermon, Pastor Rod Bunton emphasized that unity is not something Christians create but something they must actively maintain and make visible by cultivating those attitudes together.

God is Independent

God is perfectly self-existing and self-sufficient, dependent on nothing and no one, and therefore the source of all life and sustenance. Pastor Ben Khazraee tell us this means God did not create or save people out of need, but invites them to serve and trust him with gladness and confidence.

Unity in the Body of Christ

Ephesians 4:2 The apostle Paul instructs believers to live with humility, gentleness, patience, and love as they preserve the unity of the Spirit within the body of Christ. Pastor Rod Bunton emphasizes that true unity in the church requires the right disposition and virtues, warning that pride is the greatest enemy of this unity and that believers must adopt a humble attitude that puts others above themselves.

Attributes of God

Pastor Doug Link introduces a new series on the Attributes of God. He also covers the first attribute: God is spirit. Sorry, this recording is not available.

Walk in a Manner Worthy of the Calling

Ephesians 4:1 Paul urges believers to “walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,” marking a transition from doctrinal teaching to practical application in the Christian life. Pastor Rod Bunton explores how this verse serves as a topic sentence for the entire section, emphasizing that the worthy walk is a process of sanctification rooted in right doctrine and requires steady, purposeful action that reflects our effectual calling to holiness.

Redemption Accomplished

Ruth 3-4 Pastor Ben Khazraee concludes the series on the book of Ruth and highlights God’s redeeming work in preserving the line of David.

Filled with All the Fullness of God

Ephesians 3:19b-21 Paul concludes his prayer for the Ephesian believers by asking that they may be filled with all the fullness of God, followed by a doxology praising God’s infinite power and glory. Pastor Rod Bunton explores this prayer about sanctification, examining how believers are called to gradually become more like Christ by imitating God’s attributes and being transformed by the Holy Spirit’s power at work within them.
