Join the creative community of Hillsong Church as we read and pray through the book of Ephesians. Paul wrote Ephesians as a letter of encouragement to the church in Ephesus and those in the surrounding region.

Praying Through Ephesians with Hillsong Creative

If anything in this life deserves our attention, it’s the powerful words of Jesus. Things in life that are red shock us: Fire trucks, stop signs, even blood. They stop us in our tracks and we pay attention to them. The words of Christ, often written in red ink in some bibles, should demand our attention as well. Experience God’s presence as you reflect on the awe-inspiring teachings of Christ.  

Jesus In Red

The Holy Spirit has become the forgotten God. Let’s not forget that the Holy Spirit authored the scriptures, but the author is always greater than his book. Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit while on this earth, thus leaving us an example to do the same.

We must not profess to love God on Sundays and live as if he isn’t present, real, or good on Monday. May your faith come alive as you seek to be a doer of the word.
