There is a war raging, and Christians are in it whether they know it or not. It takes courage to engage our threefold enemy, and we dare not engage without the proper weapons and defense. In the sermon, we begin a new series from [esvignore]Ephesians 6[/esvignore] on the Full Armor of God. In this introduction…
This message if from [esvignore]Ephesians 6:9[/esvignore] where there is an immense amount of learning packed into a very few words. Here we look at the command to masters about how they are expected to treat their slaves. Not applicable to you in this modern time? On the contrary, we will learn how Paul’s words are filled with immensely good application with regard…
Out text is [esvignore]Ephesians 6:5-8[/esvignore] as we continue our study of bondservants and masters. In this message, we apply – as best we can – those analogous characteristics of obedience between slaves and masters to our modern economic relationships. We look at five characteristics of obedience required of the bondservant that are helpful in pursuing personal holiness. Ephesians 6:5-8
TECHNICAL NOTE: We had a different sound system this Sunday and the audio is a bit peaked and loud for the first several minutes, then it is corrected back to normal level. Doesn’t the Bible do a great job ruffling our feathers and pushing us out of our comfort zone? Our study of [esvignore]Ephesians 5[/esvignore] and 6 has been doing just that.…
Need some parenting advice? Looking for how to raise your children in Christ without angering them or abandoning them to the world? The Apostle Paul has wise words for us in [esvignore]Ephesians 6:4[/esvignore]. This is a very important message that teaches us how to apply our faith to our family where it really counts. We must minister faithfully to our children, raise…
As we progress through our study we come to the relationship commands to children and parents. We look to [esvignore]Ephesians 6:1-3[/esvignore] for the duty of children to their parents. Join us as we discover how children are not left to their own in the scripture, nor are parents left to figure it all out themselves regarding child training. The Bible speaks directly…
In today’s culture, the word “submit” is a terribly offensive term. If used in the context of a wife’s duty to her husband, its even more offensive. Christianity, however, is not a cultural faith, we must follow God rather than men and feminists. But Paul’s instruction to wives in [esvignore]Ephesians 5:22-24[/esvignore] is indeed to submit…
Here we look at the greatest challenge of our day – Christians standing firm for, and remaining true to, the Biblical design for gender roles and marriage. This sermon will serve as an introduction to a deeper investigation of [esvignore]Ephesians 5:22-33[/esvignore] and will establish why it is so very critical to get this doctrine right.…
Our sermon is taken from [esvignore]Ephesians 5:18-21[/esvignore]. We will examine the command (yes, the command) to be filled with the Spirit. What does Paul mean by giving Christians the imperative command to be filled with the Spirit, if the Spirit is in us already by regeneration? We will also examine four beneficial results of living a life filled with the Spirit. We…
As we examine [esvignore]Ephesians 5:11[/esvignore], we find a dual command – first have nothing to do with, or no fellowship with, the evil deeds of darkness. But second, we are to expose or illuminate those deeds. This is a continuing Pauline use of the excellent “light vs. darkness” illustration that helps us understand our role in a dark world. In this sermon…
