Ephesians 1:7-10 Big Idea: Praise God! Christ’s Riches are Displayed in Your Redemption.

Kids of the Kingdom is a non-denominational religion release program. KOK has the privilege of teaching the gospel to 300+ Jasper Elementary Students weekly during the school year.

As we open the book of Ephesians we are immediately called to praise God for his rich spiritual blessings withholding nothing from His children! The first three messages are grouped together under the series #blessed as we discover the robust ways in which we have been blessed by God. Today's message looks at the first three blessed positions a believer holds: We possesses every spiritual blessing in Christ We are Chosen by God in Christ for His good pleasure We are Predestined for adoption/sonship because it brings God pleasure and directs glory to himself BIG IDEA: Praise God because you have been chosen by God for his good pleasure and glory

Sandy’s story of salvation took place at church after hearing the Gospel shared by a former Al Capone gangster. As she left church that day under the conviction that she needed to respond to Jesus’ offer of salvation the guest evangelist asked her this simple question, “Do you know my Jesus?” From this question Sandy put her faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection and was mightily saved by Jesus Christ. HAVE YOU MET SANDY’S JESUS?

Big Idea: Worship is a lifestyle.

MISSION MONDAYS DECEMBER 14, 7:00 AM This year we are Going BIG by thinking SMALL. In light of our current COVID restrictions we are searching for ways to reach our community with the gospel message without large gatherings or programs. Starting in December we will be taking the 2nd Monday of each month to target our local schools and bring the teachers and staff breakfast (donuts, bagels, fruit & coffee) as a way of showing the love of Christ.

Big Idea: Choose Your One is 2021
