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?

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.

Rooted and Grounded (Ephesians Pt. 10) | Francis Chan

Sometimes in our walk with God, we can know all the right answers without experiencing the depth of relationship that’s available to us through Christ. Francis Chan reveals how embracing the profound love of Jesus can break us free from spiritual complacency and lead us to a life of strength, holiness, and unity within the church.

Unseen Reality (Ephesians Pt. 9) | Francis Chan

Have you ever wondered how the unseen spiritual world impacts our everyday lives? Francis Chan dives into the book of Ephesians to show how recognizing this hidden reality can reshape our priorities, guide our actions, and align us with God’s ultimate plan.

Prayerful and Practical Evangelism | Dr. Vince Vitale

Often, it can feel challenging to evangelize — knowing where to begin or how to enter into conversations about faith. Dr. Vince Vitale explores how Christ's approach and dedication to conversation led people to the truth, and how we can do the same by following His model with the help of the Holy Spirit.

You can hear more from Dr. Vitale at kardiaquestions.com. Kardia is a ministry that seeks to broaden and deepen our understanding of apologetics - reconciling hearts not only to God, but also to others and even ourselves.

Dr. Vince Vitale was educated at Princeton University and the University of Oxford, and he taught philosophy and theology as a faculty member briefly at Princeton and then for several years at Oxford. It was during his undergraduate studies at Princeton that Vince was challenged to read the Bible by two soccer teammates and took an unexpected journey from skeptic to evangelist. He then completed master’s and PhD studies at Oxford, receiving a Daniel M. Sachs Graduating Scholarship (at the time awarded annually to one graduating Princetonian) and a Clarendon Scholarship (supported by Oxford University Press).

Alongside his work with Kardia, Vince serves as Faculty Scholar at CEO Forum and as a host of the Unbelievable? podcast. Previously, he served as Team Director of The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics.

Our Towers, His Temple (Ephesians Pt. 8) | Francis Chan

In our fast-paced modern society, it's easy to be tempted to build impressive things for ourselves, striving for personal achievements and recognition. We can lose sight of the deeper, more meaningful purpose for our efforts. As Francis continues to speak on Ephesians, he explores what it means for us to be built into Christ's temple, with Him as the cornerstone, rather than standing alone in our pursuits.

Saved by Grace (Ephesians Pt. 7) | Francis Chan

Have you ever felt a lack of excitement or awe about what God has done for you? For those of us who have been following Christ for some time, this can be a common experience. Francis Chan invites us to meditate on God’s incredible grace that takes us from being dead in our sins to being seated with Christ.

A Powerless Cross | Francis Chan

When you hear someone preach a powerful message, what is it that moves you? The personality of the speaker? Or maybe the illustrations or stories that were told? In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan pulls us away from these external motivations and brings our hearts back to the simplicity and true power of Christ and Him crucified.
