Admonition: Moving You Closer to God Every Day

Ephesians 6:9 | And now Admonition. You know it's hard sometimes. It's hard sometimes to be in charge of others and not show partiality, to not show respect of persons, to not place one person over someone else, simply because you like them better. But that's our responsibility, to live without partiality, to judge righteously. Paul writes to the church at Ephesus in Ephesians chapter six in verse nine, And you masters do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him. We are to be just and righteous and our judgment just and righteous because God in heaven is just and righteous. For more from the Collierville church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org.

Ephesians 6:9 | And now Admonition. In Ephesians chapter six, verse nine, we read, And you masters do the same things to them. What, what, what's he talking about? He's instructed the slaves. He's instructed the bondservants. You serve your master as if you're serving Christ. And now he says to these masters, the, these individuals who own other men, he says you do the same thing to them.No matter the status of someone in this life, no matter their greatness or their lowliness, no matter where their position is, ultimately, they're all to be servants of God. The greatest King to have ever lived and reigned on a throne on this earth still had one who was greater than him. God. So then masters, how are you treating those who are around you?For more from the Collierville church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org. This is E T B N. Let the truth be told.

Ephesians 6:7 | And now Admonition. Are you under-recognized? Do you go to work and you're there and you just wish your boss would recognize you for the job that you do? Paul writes in Ephesians chapter six, Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. Paul makes it clear, no matter what your master, your boss, your employer might say about you in this life, God knows what you've done, and God will reward good that is done no matter what anyone else thinks.

Ephesians 6:7 | And now Admonition. One of the greatest struggles as a parent is to teach a child to do what's right, even when no one else is looking. Even when you're not watching them, even when you're not observing them, and they know you can't see them; they still need to be taught to do what's right, even then. Paul writes in Ephesians chapter five or chapter six and verse seven With goodwill doing service.So he tells these bondservants, you obey your masters as if you're obeying God, as if you're obeying Christ, not with eye service as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ with goodwill, doing service as to the Lord and not to men. We need to teach our children and raise them up, that they always serve their masters no matter who they might be as if they're serving God, knowing that they're always serving God.

Ephesians 6:5 | And now Admonition.How do you serve others? Specifically, how do you serve your employer or your master in life? Paul writes in Ephesians chapter six, and in verse five, Bondservants be obedient to those who are your masters, according to the flesh, verse six, not with eye service as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. Serve them, not to be seen by them, but knowing that your Father in heaven, who sees all, sees you every second of the day. Who do you serve in this life?For more from the Collierville church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org. This is E T B N. Let the truth be told.

Ephesians 6:5 | And now Admonition. Can you be a slave and a free person all at the same time? Well, Paul says you can. Paul says in Ephesians chapter six and in verse five, Bondservants be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling and sincerity of heart, as to Christ. These Christians were free from death. They were free from the servitude of sin. They had become slaves to righteousness. They were servants of Christ, but they were still slaves, bondservants in the flesh. And they still had a responsibility to their masters in the flesh, but they had a greater responsibility to Jesus Christ. We need to be those who understand that no matter our station in life, we are free to serve our God For more from the Collierville church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org. This is E T B N. Let the truth be told.

Ephesians 6:5 | And now Admonition. I'm free. How about you? As a Christian, I'm free. I am not a slave. I am not a bond servant. I am not encumbered or responsible to anyone to obey them over God. But as a Christian, I'm still a person and I still have a responsibility to live in this life in whatever place, position, or status I find myself. And as a Christian, I have a responsibility to serve those who are over me in a physical sense. So Paul writes to the church at Ephesus in Ephesians chapter six, verse five, Bond servants, be obedient to those who are your masters, according to the flesh with fear and trembling in sincerity of heart as to Christ. Oh, I'm free, but I'm still responsible to those in this flesh to be obedient to those who are over me as if I were obeying Christ Himself.

Ephesians 6:2 | And now Admonition. At what age, should a father stop teaching his children? That's kind of a trick question because in Ephesians chapter six, we read in verse two that we are to honor our father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise. Then we read in verse four, And you fathers do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. Question? At what age should children stop honoring their parents? As long as their parents are alive, they are to honor them. At what age should fathers stop training and admonishing their children? So long as their children are alive to be taught. Fathers, stay involved in the life of your child, especially their spiritual life.

Ephesians 6:4 | And now Admonition. Fathers, how do you treat your children? I pray that you treat them in such a way to provoke them to love and to good works, and not to wrath. In Ephesians chapter six in verse four, we read, And you fathers do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.We are to take our children and their lives, and we are to mold them and develop them into servants of God. Fathers, how are you treating your children, no matter their age. For more from the Collierville church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org. This is E T B N. Let the truth be told.

Ephesians 6:1-3 | And now Admonition.Are there consequences on this earth for the choices we make? Why, absolutely there are. One example of this is found in Ephesians chapter six, verses one through three. In Ephesians chapter six, verse one, Paul tells those who is he's writing to Children, obey your parents. Verse two, he says, Honor, your father and your mother.And verse three, he says, That it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth. This was a promise of God from the Old Testament that Paul says is equally true in the New Testament that honoring and obeying your parents is fundamental to your existence. As long as they are serving the Lord, and as long as they are instructing you in the path of righteousness, that will cause you to be prosperous, to be well, to do well. Understand, choices have consequences.For more from the Collierville church of Christ, visit Colliervillecoc.org. This is E T B N. Let the truth be told.

Ephesians 6:1 | And now Admonition. What does it mean to honor your father and your mother? In Ephesians chapter six, and in verse one, we read, Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. Verse two says, Honor, your father and your mother, which is the first commandment with promise. One of the examples of understanding this is given when Jesus tells the Jews, they were not honoring their parents as they ought, because they were not providing for them in their old age. We need to be sure to honor our parents, which includes providing for them when they're old. Do you honor your parents? I hope you do.

Ephesians 6:1 | And now Admonition. In Ephesians chapter six, and in verse one, Paul writes to the church at Ephesus and says, Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. Children are to be expected to obey their parents, whenever their parents are instructing them in accordance with the word of God. We need to make sure that we teach our children, that when they respect and obey their parents, they're not just obeying their parents, but they're obeying their heavenly Father as well.

And now admonition. There's a question in our society here in America, that's not a very favorable question. In Ephesians chapter five, you could ask the question, Do wives really have to submit to their husbands? Well, the answer's yes. Ephesians chapter five, verse 22 says wives submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. Paul says, when you submit, submit to your husband as if he is Christ, because that husband is then supposed to submit to Christ and live in a way that's right.

And now, Admonition. Paul calls upon us as Christians to be filled with the Spirit. And when we are, he says, one thing that you might find yourself doing is Ephesians chapter five verse 19, speaking to one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

And now, Admonition. Who's the head of your church? I'm not talking about who stands up and preaches. I'm not talking about who's the one whose name is listed as an elder. I'm talking about who's the head of the church you claim to belong to. Because it could only be Christ, if it's going to be right before God. We read in Ephesians chapter five,for the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church and He is the Savior of the body. Is Christ the head of your church?

And now, Admonition. What's wrong with getting drunk? What's wrong with just having a good time? One thing that I know is wrong with it is what we read in Ephesians chapter five. Ephesians chapter five, verse 17 and 18, therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is and do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. Paul says that when you're filled with alcohol, you can't be filled with the Spirit of God. They don't stay in the same place at the same time. Consider what you want to be filled with today.

And now, Admonition. What does it mean when Paul says in Ephesians chapter five verse 21, that we are to be submitting to one another in the fear of God? It means that we're going to take our correct role and function inside that role, as God has told us to. He will use that example to talk about wives being submissive to husband. He will use that example to talk about children being submissive to parents and servants being submissive to masters.But above all of it, he's telling Christians and churches to be submissive to Christ. We need to think about how we are submitting today. For more from the Collierville church of Christ. Visit Collierville coc.org. This is E T B N. Let the truth be told.

And now admonition. If you're a wife, do you have to submit to your husband? Well, the Bible says, yes. Well, the second question is, do you have to submit in everything?

You only have to submit in all the same ways in which the church has to submit to Christ in everything For more from the Collierville church of Christ visit Colliervillecoc.org.This is E T B N.

Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
