Introduction: 

Question: How can I find peace in a broken world? 

1. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (v1-2). 

2. He has blessed us! (v3) 

3. Part 1: Blessed by God the Father (v4-6). 

• Chosen … (v4) 

• Predestined and adopted … (v5) 

• To the praise of His glorious grace … in Christ (v6). 

Conclusion: 

Ephesians speaks to battle-weary Christians who are living in a battle-weary world. It upholds this fundamental truth: that you will never find peace apart from Christ. Only in Jesus, is there lasting peace. And God’s peace begins with his gracious choice: God’s electing love is the source of all our peace – in Christ!
