Every Valley, Every Mountain

What if the power structures you navigate every day—at home, at work, in every relationship—were never meant to define you but to transform you? In "Every Valley, Every Mountain," Pastor Jacob explores Ephesians 6:1-9 and reveals how the Gospel has fundamentally changed the way we live within relationships of authority and submission. From children and parents to servants and masters, discover how Jesus calls both the lowly and the powerful to a radically new way of living.

This message unpacks the concept of "mutual submission"—where those in positions of service render their submission "as unto Christ," while those in positions of authority render their leadership "as under Christ." Pastor Jacob contrasts the ancient pagan worldview that equated prosperity with divine favor against the stunning revelation of the cross, where God displayed His greatest love through weakness, humility, and sacrificial death. The resurrection proves that true power comes through surrender, and true victory comes through love.

Drawing from Isaiah's prophecy that every valley shall be lifted up and every mountain made low, this sermon invites us to participate in the work Christ is already doing. On the cross, Jesus began raising every valley and lowering every mountain. Upon His return, He will finish what He began. Until then, our homes and workplaces become arenas where we preview the coming Kingdom. Will you participate in the work He is doing right now?
