In this message, we continue to discuss the worthy walk of the believer today. We should not be deceived about wicked behavior. We should walk in light. We should walk wisely, understanding what the will of the Lord is, and be filled with the Spirit. We should sing and give thanks to the Lord.
In this message, we examine Ephesians 4:17-32. In this passage, the Holy Spirit through Paul urges believers to put off their old manner of life, as we might strip off a dirty suit of clothes. Then, He urges us to put on a new way of living that is patterned after God. Having urged this, He then gives us specific examples of things we are to put off, and what we are to put on in their place.
In this message, we consider the worthy walk that God wants of believers in light of all we have received in Christ. In Ephesians 5:1-21, the Lord sets forth three aspects of this that He wants of believers. He wants us to walk in love, to walk in light, and to walk wisely. We discuss these things, and what God wants of us in the worthy walk.
In this message, we complete chapter 4 of Ephesians and begin chapter 5. Considering more things that are involved in our worthy walk, including things that we should put off, and what we should put on in their place. Showing grace to each other as God has shown grace to us. Walking in love, and avoiding wickedness. What does it mean not to have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God?
In this message, we conclude our consideration of the Acts period, and how it relates to what God has called us to today. Then, the Lord urges us to not walk as those around us walk, but rather to put off the old way of living, and put on a new way of living that is patterned after what God wants of us. We examine specific examples of things we should put off, and others we should put on.
In this message, we first review the beginning of the fourth chapter of Ephesians and the truths we discussed there. Then, we see how these tie into what we read in verses 11-14. How do the divine gifts given in the Acts period relate to the believer of today? Why did the believers have a unity that resulted in them being of one heart and one soul in the early Acts period, when we have no such unity today? Why is our unity tied up in the unity of the Spirit, and not a unity like theirs?
In this message, we begin to consider the last three chapters of Ephesians. These chapters present the “worthy walk” of the believer in light of all that God has done for us, as is outlined in the first three chapters of the book. Now, we learn what our response should be, and how we should live in the light of such superlative blessings. First, we talk about the unity of the Spirit. What is this unity? What does it entail? We talk about the seven truths that make up this unity. Then, we start to compare this to what went on in the book of Acts, and the unity that existed then, particularly among the believers in Jerusalem in the great unity there.
In this message, we discuss submission from Ephesians 5:21-6:9. The overall truth of submission to one another. Illustrating this through husbands and wives, children and parents, and slaves and masters.
In this message, we examine the armor of God as it is set forth in Ephesians 6:10-20. What is this armor? Why is it important? What can we learn about the various pieces of the armor?
