3. I AM APPRECIATED

4. EPHESIANS 1:15-23
15 For this reason, ever since I heard
about your faith in the Lord
Jesus and your love for all God’s
people, 16 I have not stopped giving
thanks for you, remembering you in
my prayers.

5. EPHESIANS 1:15-23
17 I keep asking that the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious
Father, may give you the Spirit of
wisdom and revelation, so that you
may know Him better.

6. EPHESIANS 1:15-23
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart
may be enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which He
has called you, the riches of His
glorious inheritance in His holy
people,

7. EPHESIANS 1:15-23
19 and His incomparably great power
for us who believe. That power is the
same as the mighty strength 20 He
exerted when He raised Christ from
the dead and seated Him at His right
hand in the heavenly realms,

8. EPHESIANS 1:15-23
21 far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion, and every
name that is invoked, not only in
the present age but also in the one
to come.

9. EPHESIANS 1:15-23
22 And God placed all things under
His feet and appointed Him to be
head over everything for the
church, 23 which is His body, the
fullness of Him who fills everything
in every way.

10. GENESIS 1:31
31-a God saw all that he had made,
and it was very good.

appreciates you – it changes
your life and reaction to
circumstances.

12. 1. Appreciated people exchange
GRUMBLING for PRAYING.

13. Paul was then in prison, but
never questioned God; he
encouraged the “free” instead.

14. 2. Appreciated people exchange
COMPETING for CELEBRATING.

15. For it is the power of the Holy
Spirit that enables us to do, to
work - not on our own, so there’s
no competition to win over.

16. 3. Appreciated people exchange
BITTERNESS for THANKFULNESS.

17. Be reminded of Jesus’ ruling and
reigning over all things.

18. 4. Appreciated people exchange
PERFORMING for SERVING.

19. We don’t do things just to show
people we are serving.

20. 5. Appreciated people exchange
BOASTING for ENCOURAGING.

21. FOR IT IS JESUS, ALL IN ALL.

22. CONCLUSION

23. JESUS
APPRECIATES
YOU!
