More Than You Know (Worth Fighting For 2 - Pastor Jared)
Most of us spend enormous energy managing how things look on the outside while neglecting what is happening on the inside. In Ephesians 3, Paul drops to his knees and prays not for better circumstances but for something far more transformative: that Christ would dwell in the hearts of believers. The Greek word for dwell means to settle in and make a home, not simply to visit. Jesus is not interested in seeing only the clean, presentable rooms of your life. He wants access to the locked door, the hidden place where shame, bitterness, or unresolved pain has been kept out of sight. He knocks not to condemn but to redeem. When Christ truly makes His home in your heart, there is no vacancy left for guilt, anxiety, or bitterness. The peace you have been searching for is not waiting on the other side of fixed circumstances. It is waiting on the other side of a surrendered heart.
