Ephesians 3:1-11 (or 13)
WHY PLAN BIG?
Introduction
**I love 80’s movies… or at least love to laugh at them!
**Rad, Breakin’, Side Out, One Crazy Summer, Bad News Bears, Revenge of the Nerds, Karate Kid… any others.
Paul’s Ministry
**Special ministry of announcing favor to the Gentiles (2)
**Revealed by the Holy Spirit (5)
**Both groups who believe are one body (6)
**He is privileged to serve (7)
**Though I am unworthy God chose me (8-9)
**God’s plan is carried out through Jesus (11)
Our Ministry in the 21st Century
**Announce God’s favor to our community.
**God has revealed to us by His Spirit and His Word that we are to be His “beautiful feet,” His servants, His heart today.
**We are privileged to serve the Father by spreading the Good News about Jesus!
**We feel that this announcing, this sharing, this spreading is best accomplished through relational ministry…
Conclusion
**The movies of the 1980’s taught that if you tried hard enough, no matter how insane or big the plan was, you and the people you love and work hard with could accomplish that big plan.
**EPHESIANS 3 teaches us something very similar, but very different. It teaches us that no matter how insane or big the plan that God lays out for us, with the HELP OF JESUS you and the people you love and work hard for the Lord with can accomplish HIS BIG PLANS.
