Made for More: Stop Hustling for What's Already Yours

What if the very thing you’ve been striving for—approval, identity, worth—is already yours?

In this kickoff message to our Made for More series through the book of Ephesians, we unpack Paul’s bold declaration that you already have every spiritual blessing in Christ. No striving. No earning. Just receiving.

From the first verse, Paul reminds the believers in Ephesus—and us today—that our identity isn’t something we work for, it’s something we live from. You’ve been chosen before the foundation of the world. Redeemed completely through the blood of Jesus. Sealed and secured by the Holy Spirit. And it’s all to the praise of God’s glory.

Whether you’re new to church or you’ve been in faith for decades, this passage pulls back the curtain on the riches you already possess in Christ—and how often we live like spiritual beggars, forgetting what’s already been deposited in our account.

This series is for anyone tired of the hustle, weary from striving, or ready to live with clarity, confidence, and calling. Ephesians isn’t just a letter. It’s a declaration. And it just might change how you walk, think, pray, and worship.

In this first week, we walk through:

Why Ephesians matters now more than ever

The power of knowing you're chosen, redeemed, and sealed

How your identity in Christ reshapes everything about your daily life

This isn’t just theology—it’s transformation.

You don’t need to earn what God already gave.

You were made for more.
