A Gifted Church [Ephesians 4:11-12]

June 5, 2011

Sermon Notes

Date: 06/05/2011

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:11-12

Description: Because this is God’s church, He has given us marching orders on how it should be structured and run. In modern times, we have allowed the idea of pragmatism to enter the church and have started adopting business practices and other unbiblical methods. Paul tells us not only the leadership structure of a church but also the purpose of the leaders and it looks very different from what we usually see today.

Date: 05/15/2011

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:7-11

Description: Our passage this morning offers a few problem areas for the exegete, not the least of which seems to be Paul’s apparent misquote of Psalm 68. But a careful study thru this amazing Psalm reveals how a victorious king shares the spoils of war with an underserving people.

Unity in Christ [Ephesians 4:5-6]

February 13, 2011

Sermon Notes

Date: 02/13/2011

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:5-6

Description: The problem of division and disunity in the body of Christ is nothing new. It is a problem which Paul addresses in his letter to the church in Ephesus and which we will examine this morning. Paul clearly lays out the theological basis for the unity of the church by describing the work of the triune God in the lives of His people. Our last message (Ep. 4:4) describes this unity relating to the Holy Spirit. Today we will focus on unity as it relates to the Lord Jesus and God the Father.

Unity in the Spirit [Ephesians 4:4]

January 23, 2011

Sermon Notes

Date: 01/23/2011

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:4

Description: The problem of division and disunity in the body of Christ is nothing new. It is a problem which Paul addresses in his letter to the church in Ephesus and which we will examine in this message. Paul clearly lays out the theological basis for the unity of the church by describing the work of the triune God in the lives of His people. Difficulty arises because those whom God has called to be His are made up of people from so many backgrounds that division seems likely. For this reason, Paul instructs his readers to better understand the unity they have in Christ and how that unity is to be lived out in our daily experience.
