About this listen

The notion of being "blessed" is often misunderstood and misused in faith spaces. It plays naturally into prosperity theology, and the idea that if I obey God, I will be "blessed." It also becomes a way of making God a means to an end, rather than the end in himself. We worship God because of what he can do for us, not who God is.

But the answer isn't to neglect this language that is so prevalent in scripture, but to clarify what Scripture has to say. The book of Ephesians gives us a clearer picture of what it means that "we are blessed" and why. In this sermon, Pastor Ike Miller helps us understand that we were blessed for a bigger purpose than ourselves.
