What exactly are the “good works” believers are created for? This teaching shows how the Torah defines and equips good works (2 Tim 3:16–17), why Yeshua upholds the Law (Matt 5:17–19), and how the Spirit empowers obedience (Ezek 36:27; Rom 8:4). Scriptures (4–6): Ephesians 2:8–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 5:16–19; Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:4; Revelation 14:12 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): We're not saved by works—we're saved for works Scripture defines.

This lecture focuses on the theme of peace, particularly within the context of Advent, and its profound significance in our lives and communities. Jill, the speaker, introduces the concept of peace, or the Hebrew term "shalom," as more than just the absence of conflict; it represents a state of flourishing for all creation. She emphasizes the importance of peace during the Advent season, a time of anticipation as the church reflects on Israel's longing for a Messiah and their waiting for Christ's second coming.Throughout the discourse, Jill contrasts the peaceful moment in the nativity story, where angels proclaim "Peace on earth," with the current state of the world, which often feels steeped in unrest and brokenness. Acknowledging the inherent struggles within both personal and societal contexts, she emphasizes the church's role in lamenting these realities and yearning for divine intervention. Jill reflects on how communal liturgy helps the church confront the brokenness in their community, particularly through their shared experiences of grief and yearning for mercy.As she shares personal insights, Jill confesses that she often finds it easier to lament outward issues rather than introspective ones, prompting a deeper exploration of how Christ's peace impacts both external relations and internal struggles. She turns to the biblical text of Ephesians, particularly Ephesians 2:11-22, providing a rich analysis of how Paul addresses the division between Jews and Gentiles in the early church. She illustrates the barriers that existed, akin to physical walls that separated groups within the temple, and highlights how Christ, through his sacrifice, dismantles these divisions, creating a new humanity united in peace.Through various metaphors, Jill describes this new community as a family and a temple, emphasizing that believers, regardless of their backgrounds, are called to live in unity, embodying the peace of Christ. She discusses the radical implications of this unity, which goes beyond tolerance to a genuine embrace of diversity as enriching the communal life. The speaker paints a picture of a growing temple, symbolizing the ever-expanding presence of God as believers come together, strengthened by the Spirit and grounded in Christ.As she wraps up her sermon, Jill connects the themes of peace in Christ with the open invitation for communal worship and reflection, reinforcing the transformative power of Christ's peace that not only mends broken relationships but also builds a harmonious, inclusive community. She concludes with the reminder that peace is active and sacrificial, rooted in the cross, encouraging the audience to respond to this message through worship and a commitment to living out the peace of Christ in their everyday lives. The lecture serves as an exhortation for individuals and the collective church to pursue the wholeness of shalom in light of their shared identity in Christ.

IntroductionAs we continue through the Canons of Dort, it is important to remember how this confession is structured. Each head of doctrine has a positive section, where the churches state what they believe, and a “rejection of errors” section, where they clarify what they do not believe. The goal is not to be reactionary or merely negative, but to confess positively what Scripture teaches about God's grace and then explain why certain opposing views must be rejected.​When we come to the rejections concerning election, we are really dealing with one central question: do we in any way influence God's decision to choose us for his kingdom? The Arminian position says, in various ways, that there is something in us—our decision, our perseverance, our right use of grace—that becomes the decisive factor in God's choice. The Canons insist instead that election is entirely of God's grace, so that all glory belongs to him alone.We Do Not Influence GodThe first cluster of Arminian errors says that God looks ahead in history, sees who will believe, who will persevere, and then chooses those people as his elect. In that scheme, God's choice finally rests on something in us. We make the decision for God. We are faithful enough for God's mercy. We have made a wise choice. But this turns God into a passive observer of history rather than the sovereign Lord who orders it. God is only watching who reacts rather than God definitively securing His people as His citizens in His kingdom. Scripture paints a very different picture. Ephesians 2 describes us not as spiritually sick but as “dead” in trespasses and sins. We were walking according to the course of this fallen world and following the prince of the power of the air. Dead people do not reach out to God, climb a ladder out of the sewer of sin, or give God a reason to choose them. God acts when there is nothing in us that would or could move him to love us. When Paul says that God made us alive with Christ “even when we were dead,” he is insisting that God's gracious choice and saving action are not responses to our initiative. Rather, God is the one who is the cause of our new life and faith.Because of this, election cannot be based on foreseen faith, foreseen perseverance, or any foreseen quality in us. If God's choice depended even partly on something in us, grace would no longer be grace, and we could boast that we were, in some sense, more receptive, more responsive, or more lovable than others. Instead, the biblical doctrine of unconditional election guards the truth that salvation is “not because of works but because of him who calls,” so that no flesh may boast before God. God is PersonalA common charge against the Reformed doctrine of election is that it makes God cold, impersonal, and mechanical. There is the accusation that God is a distant force who decrees without caring. But Ephesians 2 shows precisely the opposite. After exposing the depth of our misery in verses 1–3, Paul turns with those rich words, “But God…” and then grounds everything that follows in God's mercy and great love. God is not moved by our efforts to escape the sewer of sin; he is moved by his own compassion and covenant love toward his people. This is what the Canons want us to understand. God's intervention is intensely personal. He does not merely offer an opportunity and wait to see what we will do with it. He takes hold of those who are content to remain in rebellion and refuses to leave them there. He makes us alive together with Christ, raises us with him, and seats us with him in the heavenly places. That is not the action of a distant bystander but of a Father who refuses to let his children live in filth and death.The Arminian scheme, for all its concern to protect human freedom, actually makes God more indifferent. In that view, God gives the same general help to all, stands back, and waits for us to use it well or poorly. This makes God indifferent because many, and more likely all, will perish. In the Reformed view, God comes down into the mess, interrupts our course, overcomes our resistance, and claims us as his own. The doctrine of unconditional election, far from making God impersonal, magnifies his intimate, pursuing, intervening love. It is God who not only cares about us, but He also advocates and intervenes for us.Election without Works/God's Choice is CertainFinally, the election is without our work and therefore absolutely certain. The Arminian errors the Canons reject say that all people are in some sense “elect” in possibility, but that this election only becomes real and final if they continue to meet certain conditions. On the Arminian system, we have to choose Christ. We have to persevere to the end, utilizing grace. Sewer-dwelling sinful saints would not enter Christ's kingdom because our performance falls below the perfect mark.Paul again cuts across this in Ephesians 2. By the time he says, “By grace you have been saved through faith,” he has already made clear that even that faith is “not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Faith itself is not the one good work we contribute; it is God's gift. God gives Christ, God gives new life, and God gifts the power of faith that takes hold of Christ. Election is therefore not conditioned on works, not even on the “work” of a wiser decision or stronger perseverance; it rests solely on God's purpose and grace given in Christ before the ages.Because God's choice is free, gracious, and not founded on anything in us, it is unshakably certain. The same God who chose his people in Christ before the foundation of the world also prepared the good works in which they will walk. This means that perseverance is nothing we achieve to secure our place; it is something God produces in us as the fruit of his electing love. The God who pulls us out of the sewer does not drop us halfway; he carries us all the way home. ConclusionSo, do we influence God's decision in the election? No. By nature, we are dead in sin and children of wrath. We are naturally content to rebel against God. We are naturally content to follow the course of this world. We cannot be merely aided to follow God. We have to be recreated from our core. God is the one who acts first, who loves first, and who gives life where there is only death. That is why all boasting is excluded, and all glory belongs to him.Our sovereign God is not distant or indifferent. He is rich in mercy and great in love. He personally intervenes and intercedes to save his people from the sewer of sin. He lifts them out of sin's sewer and seats us with Christ in heavenly glory. His choice is not cold fate but fatherly favor. And because the election rests entirely on his gracious will and not on our works, it is sure and unchangeable. The doctrine of unconditional election, rightly understood, does not make God impersonal, but it reveals that God acts to secure his people to dwell with him forever. We taste it now by his mercy as we possess Christ in faith. We have the privilege of seeing the fruits of holiness as we conform to him.

Ephesians 4:7-11 - The Office of Apostleship

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 4, 2025 5:24


Todaywe continue to look at Ephesians 4:7-11. Weneed to understand the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the unity of the church isvitally important to sharing this great message of the Gospel of Christ to theworld around us. God has chosen the church today to do this. The New Testament churchcan best be describes as a local body of baptized believers, under thediscipline of the Word of God, being led by the Holy Spirit, exercising thegifts of the Spirit, organized under spiritual leadership for the purpose ofworship, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry, and fulfilling theordinances of the church—the Lord's Supper and baptism. That is the localchurch. Inthat church God has placed people with various spiritual gifts to make surethat body functions properly in such a way that they are able to fulfill,complete, and carry out God's great commission. That is the purpose of thespiritual gifts. We see that specifically as we look at the passage here inEphesians chapter 4, verses 7-11.It says in verse 11, “And He Himself gavesome to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors andteachers.” Interesting,as you look at all three passages in the New Testament speaking specificallyabout spiritual gifts, you will find that in Romans 12, and also 1 Corinthians12-14, that Paul lists many gifts. Some people estimate up to 18 differentspiritual gifts were given to the church initially. But here in Ephesians 4:7,it appears that Paul is talking not so much about the gifts of the Spirit as heis talking about some of the offices that are being fulfilled because of thegift of the Spirit that were given to particular people in his day. Thefirst one Paul mentions was the Apostles. “He gave some to be apostles”.The word apostle means one who is sent with a commission. Jesus had manydisciples—even one time 70 disciples are mentioned—but we know that He onlyselected 12 apostles (Matthew 10:1-4). The disciple is a learner, a follower.But an apostle is a divinely appointed representative. For someone to be anapostle, he had to have witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts1:21-22). In Acts 1, when they were replacing Judas as one of the twelveapostles, they prayed about it, sought God's will about it, and particularlychose one person, Matthias, to become that twelfth Apostle (Acts 1:26). Today,there are no apostles in the strictest New Testament sense. These apostles laidthe foundation of the church along with the prophets as we are told in Ephesians2:19-20, “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, butfellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, havingbeen built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himselfbeing the chief corner stone.”  Oncethe foundation of the church, the New Testament church, was laid, there was nolonger a need for apostles. Today when I hear someone saying, “I'm an apostle,”I hope they mean that they are one who is sent with a commission. Because allof us as believers are sent. As Jesus said to the disciples and to theapostles, “As the Father has sent Me, even so send I you.” Every believer inthat sense is sent. We are sent with a commission to share the good news ofJesus Christ. Butthere were only twelve who laid the foundation of the church in the NewTestament. That is very important to know. Today we should not claim to be anapostle. We should claim to be a follower, a disciple of Jesus Christ. We havebeen sent even as an Apostle was sent, but we are not apostles because we didnot physically witness the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That was thequalification given in Acts 1. Aswe study these four offices of the church that are mentioned by Paul here, theyshould encourage us to be what God wants us to be with our spiritual gift inthe church so the body of Christ can function as it should. Godbless!

Podcast Description – Mason Tucker | Ephesians 2 | RiverSide ChurchIn this powerful, verse-by-verse message from Ephesians 2, Mason Tucker walks us through one of the clearest pictures in all of Scripture of what it means to be saved by grace and built on a firm foundation in Jesus Christ. Preached at RiverSide Church, this sermon reminds us that we were once dead in our trespasses and sins, following the course of this world—but God, being rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ.You'll be encouraged as we see that salvation is by grace alone, through faith, not by works, so that no one may boast. We are reminded that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared beforehand. The message also unpacks how Christ has broken down the wall of hostility, making Jew and Gentile one new people, and how believers are now members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.This is a rich, gospel-centered teaching that calls the listener to rest in Christ's finished work and to stand firm on the only sure foundation—Jesus Christ alone. Perfect for anyone seeking to grow deeper in their understanding of grace, salvation, unity in Christ, and the unshakable foundation of the gospel.
