Summary: Christ has given unto us all things to be winners with Him!

The Greatness of His Power Text: Ephesians 1: 19-23

19 I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power 20that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. 21Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else in this world or in the world to come. 22And God has put all things under the authority of Christ, and he gave him this authority for the benefit of the church. 23And the church is his body; it is filled by Christ, who fills everything everywhere with his presence.

Introduction: God is in control! It might seem that He’s way off, but He sees all, know’s all and He’s all-powerful! Paul once again prays that we would understand the incredible greatness of God’s power! Remember this, all enlightenment and all change can only come through understanding! (If you don’t understand the procedure in solving a problem will you solve it?) No!
