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.
Description: God has called Christian husbands to love our wives not only with a sacrificial love but with also a purifying love. That means that we need to love our wives with her sanctification in view.
Description: Paul tells husbands that they are to love their wives as Christ loved the church, this is not only a “high bar” this is an impossibility. Paul doesn’t tell husbands this to dismay them but rather to point out the Christo-centric aspect of marriage and provide us a view of marriage that is based on the gospel and based specifically in the way that Christ related or ministered to His bride, the church.
Description: All Christians are under the authority of someone else. Husbands are accountable to the Lord and to the elders in the church. Children are under the authority of parents and slaves under the authority of masters. In our passage this morning Paul speaks to husbands and commands them to love their wives as Christ loved the church.
Description: All Christians are under the authority of someone else. Husbands are accountable to the Lord and to the elders in the church. Children are under the authority of parents and slaves under the authority of masters. In our passage this morning Paul speaks to wives to be in submission to their own husbands as unto the Lord.
Description: Paul gives us 5 participles to explain the consequences or results of a spirit filled life. We find that one who is under the control of the Holy Spirit is a person who has a heart that sings, a life of thanksgiving, and is a humble servant.
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.
Description: Paul continues his admonition that we are to be imitators of God. We are to imitate God as we walk in love, walk in light, and walk in wisdom. Paul encourages us to make the most use of our time, literally redeem our time which is one way that we are to walk in wisdom.
Description: Paul continues his argument that we are to be imitators of God and that we are not only to walk in love (Ephesians 5:2) but also to walk in light.
Description: We live in a day when sexual immorality is rampant to the point where many churches are not only condoning sinful behavior but blessing it. In this section of Ephesians, Paul makes it clear that sexual immorality will be judged by God and those who participate in it will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Description: This sermon provides five answers found in Scripture for the question, “Why a virgin birth?” This doctrine is a basic dogma of the Christian faith.
Description: Sexual sins are rampant in our culture and we have become calloused to them. They tear apart our churches, our families, and tarnish the name of Christ. Paul instructs us that our minds should be filled with thanksgiving and not lewdness. Thanksgiving is unselfish while sexual perversion and sin is to only pursue self-pleasure.
Description: Psalm 46 was the starting point for Martin Luther’s most famous hymn, A Mighty Fortress is Our God. Learn how this hymn and psalm encapsulates some of the great truths of the reformation.
Description: Paul admonishes the believer to imitate God and walk in love especially within the context of forgiveness, which illustrated by Christ became the greatest example of love.
Description: In the first three chapters of Ephesians Paul taught us that as Christians we are “in Christ” and now Paul instructs us to be “like Christ”.
Description: Paul declares the importance of church growth. Not a growth of numbers but a growth towards spiritual maturity. Paul defines what a mature believer looks like and how true church growth builds the church up.

Description: Although pastors today seem more and more concerned with church growth it is Christ Himself who is building His church. The primary function of pastors is to devote themselves to the ministry of prayer and the preaching of the Word.
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.
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.
