The Beauty of Marriage: Wives
In Ephesians 5:22-33 Paul describes the ways in which marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church. The creation of marriage pointed to this at its inception. It is a picture of the Church’s union with Christ. Today we will see how wives following their husbands points to the Church’s submission to her Lord.
Spirit-Filled Living
In Ephesians 5:18-21, Paul gives the Ephesians three ways they can live Spirit-filled lives. By God’s grace we are enabled to further submit to the Spirit’s sanctifying work through worship, thankfulness, and mutual submission. This is what it looks like to live a life yielded to the Holy Spirit. When we live submitted to the Spirit through these means, we can expect to progressively experience the fruit of the Spirit. We will truly be living as the temple of God.
Walking in Wisdom
In Ephesians 5:15-17, Paul gives the Ephesians three ways they can ensure they are walking in wisdom. He calls them to be watchful, intentional with their time, and understand the will of the Lord. As Christians, we can ensure we are walking in wisdom by paying attention to our lives and hearts. Similarly to how Paul calls Timothy to watch his doctrine and life, he calls all Christians to keep a close watch on their life. The unexamined life will lead to immaturity and foolishness. However, the mature Christian examines himself regularly to ensure he is walking in accordance with his calling. Christians also must redeem the time, ensuring they use it for the glory of God. Lastly, Paul calls us to understand God’s revealed will contained in the Scriptures. If we are practicing these things as Christians, we are well on our way to walking in wisdom.
Wake Up – Living in God’s Light
If you’ve been following along with us in Ephesians, the Apostle Paul has been writing about orthodoxy (right thinking) for some time. But as we open chapter 5, the orthopraxy (right living) continues as Paul emphasizes the importance of living a life that reflects God’s character and rejecting dark behaviors. He issues the church at Ephesus – and churches today – a wake-up call. Believers are called to walk in love, and live in God’s Light. Walk in love Avoid the darkness Keep living in the Light Examine what pleases God .
The New Man in Thought, Word, and Deed
Paul urges believers to put away falsehood, control anger, speak with grace, and forgive as God has forgiven us. These verses paint a picture of a transformed community shaped by truth, kindness, and love. When we walk in step with the Spirit, our lives become a reflection of God’s character to the world.
The New Man
The Apostle Paul calls believers to walk in holiness by shedding their former way of life and embracing the new identity found in Christ.
The Necessity of the Resurrection
This Easter sermon explores the profound significance of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drawing from the Gospel accounts, it unpacks how the empty tomb confirms Jesus’ identity as the Son of God, fulfills prophecy, and marks the ultimate victory over sin and death. The message highlights how the Resurrection isn’t just a historical event—it’s a present reality that offers new life, lasting hope, and eternal purpose to all who believe. Through the lens of the disciples’ transformation and the power of the risen Christ, we’re reminded that resurrection power is still at work today.
Good Friday 2025
Good Friday is a solemn day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death at Calvary. It is a time of reflection on the depth of God’s love and the cost of our redemption. Through Scripture, worship, and prayer, we remember the suffering Christ endured to bring salvation to the world.
Christ The King
In this powerful passage from Luke 19:28–44, we witness the arrival of Jesus—the true King—as He enters Jerusalem. This moment is both triumphant and tragic—a glimpse of Jesus’ heart for a world that doesn’t recognize its Savior.
God’s Gracious Gifts
God, in His grace, has given each believer unique gifts through Christ—not for personal gain, but for building up the body of Christ in unity and maturity. Ephesians 4:7-16 reminds us that we are all called to grow in faith and work together in love as one body under Christ, our head.
