Truth for a New Year (1 of 5)
Series: I'm Blessed: Ephesians

Ephesians 1:1-2
Happy New Year to you! Thank God 2020 is behind us. If you were give just one word to describe the year 2020, what would you choose? A recent survey asked just this and found the #1 word chosen to describe this previous year was ''awful, terrible, or horrible.'' I wonder what word you would use. I wonder what word our God would use. Let's all tell 2020 goodbye! 2020 is the year our church family scattered but my hope is that 2021 is the year we gather.
Think about this: the average student today takes in 34 gigabytes of data every 24 hours. If you printed that out, that'd be equivalent to 4.5 million pages a day. We are in overload, complete overload. We are swimming in information but we desperately lack real hard and firm truth to guide us. When you drive your car on a bridge, you want to know the engineers who built it are interested in the truth. When you enter the top floors of a tall building in downtown Dallas/Fort Worth, you want an architect who is interested in knowing the truth.
Let's find real hard truth for our lives for the upcoming year together. If you have a copy of God's word would you find the book of Ephesians with me (page 1159 in the pew Bible).
When you read Ephesians in your Bible you should think of clarity and precision. Ephesians is clear because it is timeless truth. Ephesians is precise because it is timeless truth. In a day when oftentimes feelings trump truth, we need to embrace truth.
Why should you bother reading Ephesians or studying this short letter? Every time you turn on your GPS, you want the truth. You are asking for a truthful route to your destination. When you go to a doctor, you want the truth. You want a truthful analysis of your medical situation, not just how he feels about it.
When you study this book, you'll learn the truth about ...
-Spiritual warfare;
-Racial reconciliation;
-Marriage roles;
-How to ...
