Timberline Church | Bold Prayers: Paul's Prayer in Ephesians | Aaron Hanson

Grounded in Paul’s bold prayer in Ephesians 3, this message paints a compelling vision of the life God desires for His people. It begins with posture—Paul kneeling before the Father—and reminds us that what we bow to shapes what has power over us. In a culture filled with competing allegiances, the call is to humble ourselves before God as the starting point for spiritual transformation.

 The prayer unfolds in four movements—strength, love, knowledge, and fullness—each revealing both God’s invitation and the shadows that often hold us back. God offers strength in our weakness, love that overcomes fear, knowledge that moves beyond information into lived experience, and fullness that replaces spiritual emptiness with His presence. The message invites us to unearth buried dreams, surrender self-reliance, and trust God to do what is impossible on our own, believing that when we come before Him with humility and faith, He fills us with everything we need to live out His calling.
