Pastor Peter Mueller

The people of Israel dreamed that their Messiah-Savior would come to bring military and political victory over the powers of this world that were oppressing them. Jesus did come to rescue them and all humanity, but it was a different kind of victory than they expected — it was a victory over sin and the dark powers that rule the world “behind the scenes” in the spiritual realm. In this weekend’s message, we’ll explore Paul’s prayer that followers of Jesus would realize the magnitude of what this means and the wonder of how God is working to bring his rule of justice and righteousness into this world through his people in whom his Spirit dwells. While this work won’t be complete until Jesus returns, it is an encouraging and life-giving signpost and foretaste of that day when all creation will be unmistakably filled with the presence and glory of God!
