Caz Minter","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1498,"description":"In this standalone message, Rev. Caz Minter invites the church to rediscover its identity and calling through Ephesians 1 and 2. Rather than striving to earn God's approval or defining ourselves by our accomplishments, we are reminded that salvation is a gift of grace and that we are God's handiwork, created with intention, beauty, and purpose. This message centers on the life-changing truth that God has already claimed us as His own and prepared meaningful work for us to do in His kingdom. As Paul prays that the eyes of our hearts would be opened, we are challenged to see the scope of God's mission, the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us, and the unique role each believer is called to play. When we start from grace instead of performance, we are freed to serve, love, and participate in God's redemptive work with confidence and joy. May you leave with a renewed awareness that you are God's beloved creation, empowered by Christ's resurrection power, and called to step faithfully into the purpose He has prepared for you.\nSign-up to receive our weekly sermon-based discussion questions:\n https://ward.church/groups/small-groups/#questions","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/x9nZ7x0Yc3FJqTIoOnBrfbYHeZMD6J-yUgzf6-DxgG4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80MGM2/YmNlOWUxMWJlNTRh/ODY5MTFkMzlkOTA4/OTExNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
