The New You (Ephesians Pt. 18) | Francis Chan

In the book of Ephesians, Paul instructs believers to put off the old self and to put on the new. But practically speaking, what does that mean? In this teaching, Francis Chan helps us see that our calling as the Body of Christ isn’t just behavior modification. It’s about becoming the kind of church that reflects the heart of God in every interaction.

Called to Purity (Ephesians Pt. 17) | Francis Chan

If you look at the current state of the church in America, on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate our witness to the rest of the world? Francis Chan confronts the very things that do damage to the church and reminds us that we can embody the purity and love that God desires, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

An Unshakable Church (Ephesians Pt. 16) | Francis Chan

We all know we’re supposed to grow in our faith—but how do we actually become mature in Christ?

Francis explores how Christ shapes us through the gifts He’s given, the role of the church in building us up, and what it means to truly grow into the fullness of Christ.

Stop Acting Human | Francis Chan

In a world where we constantly see the same patterns—division, selfishness, and striving for personal gain—it’s easy to fall into these habits without realizing it. In this teaching, Francis Chan explores the idea that, if we belong to Christ, we’re not just human beings. We are temples of the Holy Spirit, called to live selflessly and pursue unity as God’s people.

Gifted for the Body (Ephesians Pt. 15) | Francis Chan

We live in a culture that gives value to those who are rich, famous, or powerful. But as believers, we need to see ourselves differently. Francis Chan helps us understand how each of us has been uniquely gifted by the Holy Spirit, not for our own personal recognition, but to build up the Body of Christ in unity and love.

His Church, His Way (Ephesians Pt. 14) | Francis Chan

As Americans, we’re used to having choices in every aspect of our lives – whether its our jobs, relationships, or even our leaders. But what happens when we come across the commands of God? Are we willing to embrace the idea that His words are more than just suggestions? In this teaching, Francis Chan challenges us to break away from this cultural mindset and seek to be a church that Jesus desires.

The Key to Unity (Ephesians Pt. 13) | Francis Chan

In Ephesians chapter 4, Paul urges us to “maintain the unity of the body in the bond of peace.” But how do you maintain unity in the church when the church starts to look like the world? Is there a time that you need to separate? In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan helps us wrestle through some of these challenging questions and points us away from seeking specific answers and points us towards the heart of Christ, Himself.

The Weight of Our Calling (Ephesians Pt. 12) | Francis Chan

After studying the first 3 chapters of Ephesians and understanding the incredible blessings and promises that we’ve received from God, what should our response be? How should we live in light of these truths? In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan begins to unpack Ephesians chapter 4, highlighting God’s desire for the church, where everyone uses their unique gifts to build one another up in love and walk in a manner that is worthy of our calling.

God in Us, Us in Him | Francis Chan

Many of us come from a church background where our walk with God felt less like a like a relationship and more like a list of dos and don’ts. But if you read the actual words of Jesus, you get a much different impression. Francis Chan takes us to John chapter 15 and helps us see how a life of joyful obedience to God is a natural response to His overwhelming love.

The Fullness of God (Ephesians Pt. 11) | Francis Chan

When you read Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church and he prays that believers would be “filled with all the fullness of God,” do you think that’s possible for you? Francis Chan explores how the love of Christ isn’t just a concept that we try to grasp with our minds, but it’s something into which we grow deeper and deeper, impacting every area of our lives.
