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.
Christians Walk in Unity
Doctrine doesn’t divide, it unites. Paul begins to tell us how all the doctrine he has taught in Chapters 1-3 of the book of Ephesians is to work itself out in the life of the Christian. As a result of the glorious truths of the sovereign God and our calling to His son, we are to walk worthy of our calling. Paul will expand upon this but in verses 2-3 we see that it looks like walking in unity. We see characteristics such as humility, gentleness, and patience which contribute to this unity. But Paul ultimately gives the basis of the unity we are to walk in. It is that we have one Spirit, one Lord – Jesus, and one Father. He details essential doctrines of the Christian faith and the triune God which is our basis for unity as Christians.
The Wealth & Walk of the Christian
Paul shifts from theology to practical Christian living. He urges believers to walk worthy of their calling, emphasizing unity, humility, patience, and love within the body of Christ. Paul speaks of the Church as one body with diverse spiritual gifts given to equip and build up believers toward maturity. He calls for a transformation of life—putting off the old self and putting on the new, living in righteousness and holiness.
