In Christ Pastor Bobby Grossi

“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. ‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary.

But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Rev. 2:2-5

IN CHRIST we are… SALT & LIGHT, Mat. 5:13-14 GOD’S CHILD, John 1:12 FREE, John 8:36 A FRIEND OF CHRIST, John 15:15 A TEMPLE WHERE GOD DWELLS, 1 Cor 3:18, 6:19 A NEW CREATION, 2 Cor. 5:17 RECONCILED, 2 Cor.5:18 A SAINT, Eph. 1:1 REDEEMED & FORGIVEN, Eph. 1:7 GOD’S MASTERPIECE, Eph. 2:10 RIGHTEOUS & HOLY, Eph. 4:24 FIRMLY ROOTED, Col. 2:7 HIDDEN IN CHRIST, Col. 3:3 CHOSEN & DEARLY LOVED, Col. 3:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

“The Christian really operates in two spheres: the human and the divine, the visible and the invisible.” Warren Wiersbe

“The President of the United States is not always seated at his desk in the White House, but that executive chair represents the sphere of his life and power. No matter where he is, he is the President, because only he has the privilege of sitting at that desk. Likewise with the Christian: no matter where he may be on this earth, he is seated in the heavenlies with Jesus Christ, and this is the basis of his life and power.” Warren Wiersbe

For freedom Christ has set us free… Gal. 5:1

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
