Feeling like your life lacks direction or meaning?
Ephesians 1:11–12 reminds us that in Christ, we’ve been chosen—predestined according to the plan of the One who works out everything in line with His will.

You are not an accident. You’ve been written into a divine plan—and that plan includes a Kingdom purpose that brings glory to God and joy to your soul.

As a pastor for 25 years, I’ve watched believers come alive when they realize their story fits into God’s greater story. And this passage is all about that awakening.

When life feels chaotic or out of control, it’s easy to wonder if there’s any real purpose to it all.

But in Ephesians 1:9–10, Paul reveals something stunning: God has a master plan. And in Christ, you’ve been written into that plan—a plan to bring everything together under the authority of Jesus.

As a pastor with 25 years of experience, I’ve seen how this truth brings peace to anxious hearts. You’re not drifting through time. Your life is anchored in a purpose that was established before the world began.

Shame says you're defined by your past.
But the Gospel says you're redeemed by His grace.

In this episode of our verse-by-verse study through Ephesians, we dive into the life-changing reality of redemption. Through the blood of Jesus, you’ve been forgiven—not just slightly, but richly and completely.

As a pastor for the past 25 years, I’ve walked with countless people who feel stuck in who they used to be. But Ephesians reminds us: you are not what you did—you're who God says you are in Christ.

If this encouraged you, I’d love for you to join me on my YouTube channel, Elevated Reflections, where I teach the Bible verse-by-verse with clarity, depth, and practical encouragement for your daily walk.

What if your life didn’t start with your first breath—but with God’s eternal choice?

In this episode, we explore one of the most breathtaking truths in Scripture: you were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. God’s love for you didn’t begin the day you got saved—it began before time itself.

As Pastor David Yarbrough, I’ve spent the last 25 years helping people understand their identity in Christ. And this passage is foundational. You were not only created on purpose—you were adopted into God’s family by grace.
