Key Text: Ephesians 6:15

Series: Ephesians
Key Text: Ephesians 6:15
Description: Although it may sound strange to read about peace when we are being equipped for war, it is not strange at all. War and peace are always two sides of the same coin, and when you are at war with one party it usually means that you have established peace with another. We are warring against the devil because we have experienced peace with God. We need to remind ourselves of this peace with God: that Christ has purchased and firmly planted our feet into it so that we will be able to stand firm.

Key Text: Ephesians 6:10-11
Description: There is so much confusion over the concept of Spiritual Warfare.

We need to remember that we fight from a position of victory and the battle has been won.

Key Text: Ephesians 6:5-9
Description: The single most prevalent description in the Bible of the Christian’s relationship with Christ is the slave/master relationship. If that is the case, why don’t we notice it when we are reading Scripture and what does that view of our Christian status declare about how we should then live?

Key Text: Ephesians 5:28-33
Description: In today’s message, we that a look at the second illustration that Paul provides on how a husband is to love his wife. That is, he is to love his wife as himself. This is bound up in a special unity that exists between husband and wife that doesn’t exist in any other relationship on earth. This unity is meant to reflect the unity that we have as the bride of Christ with our Lord and Bridegroom. What an amazing mystery.

Key Text: Ephesians 5:18
Description: In today’s sermon, we come to a controversial section of Scripture for two reasons. The first is that the mention of “alcohol” opens a can of worms for many Christians and the second is that there is disagreement on what it means to be filled by the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This sermon attempts to clear up any confusion and misconceptions regarding both of these areas and clearly outline what Paul means by this verse and why he makes such a comparison.
