Listen "Knowledge of Christ"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon, rooted in Ephesians 1, calls the church to a deeper, experiential knowledge of Jesus Christ—not merely intellectual assent to doctrinal facts, but a transformative, intimate relationship with His person, power, and position. It critiques the modern church's tendency to prioritize relevance, size, and entertainment over spiritual depth, warning that a Christ-centered life is marked by spiritual awareness, foundational commitment, purposeful growth, and continual transformation through Scripture. The preacher emphasizes that true faith is revealed not in performance or popularity, but in a daily surrender to Christ, who is sovereign, resurrected, and seated at God's right hand, and whose power is demonstrated in creation, miracles, and resurrection. The central plea is for believers to prioritize knowing Christ above all else, recognizing that without this relationship, worship becomes empty, discipleship shallow, and the church loses its identity. Ultimately, the sermon challenges the congregation to examine their priorities, rediscover biblical literacy, and cultivate a life of devotion that reflects a heart awakened to the glory and supremacy of Jesus Christ.
