At ENCS the sermon was delivered by Steve Murrell
About some key words to Ephesus that Paul did tell
In Acts chapter twenty, to Rome Paul was on his way
He thoughts it was his last chance messages to convey
After Pastor Steve shared about global activity
He quickly focused on key words for ENCS three
Life only has real meaning, per verse twenty four
If in all that we do, God's purpose is at our core
The first key word is that we must testify the gospel
For the gospel is good news, Pastor did then tell
It is not opinion or an editorial, but is a historical fact
Jesus came to earth and although He was attacked
He offers eternal life to those who do repent
For that is the real reason that He was sent
But to turn to God we must turn away from sin
For into this life don't let temptations come in
And although we are sinful, God loves us so much
Which is why our hearts the gospel does touch
Grace builds us up, per verse number thirty two
To our sin, justification allows us to say adieu
Sanctification is the process of God-driven change
It is an ongoing process of how our life we arrange
Glorification is how we can live like Jesus Christ
All of these are available for free, clearly mispriced
Per Titus two verse eleven, God's grace is there for all
Into our lives self-control and godliness we can install
The third word is give, in other words generosity
"It is more blessed to give than to receive" is the key
This includes our time, words, money, and passion
As individuals and a church, we should not ration
If we live to give we will be on the right track
And God will ensure that we will never lack
