Podcasts about Ephesians 6

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” (Ephesians 6:18 NLT) When should we pray? According to the apostle Paul, “at all times and on every occasion” (Ephesians 6:18 NLT). That pretty much covers everything. You pray in the morning. You pray in the afternoon. You pray in the evening. The idea here isn’t a nonstop monologue morning, noon, and night. The idea is to keep an open line to God, calling on Him frequently throughout the day. When the beauty of nature fills your senses while you’re taking a walk, praise God for His creation. When you read breaking news about a natural disaster, ask God to ease the suffering. When your kids greet you after work, thank God for your family—and then ask Him for the wisdom and patience to settle the dispute that’s been brewing since lunchtime. Any time is a good time to pray; no time is a bad time to pray. The prophet Daniel perfectly illustrated this point. Daniel was a trusted advisor to King Darius. The king’s other advisors grew jealous of Daniel and schemed to bring him down. The problem was, Daniel was squeaky clean. He had no skeletons in his closet. The only thing he was guilty of was being faithful to God. Three times a day, Daniel went to his house, opened all the windows, got down on his knees, and prayed. Daniel’s enemies convinced the king to sign a decree that outlawed praying to any god but the king. Anyone who disobeyed the decree would be thrown to the lions. If ever there was a bad time to pray, this was it. Daniel knew all about the king’s decree. And he had several options. He could have taken a sabbatical from prayer until the decree expired. He could have found a more private place to pray. He could have journaled his prayers instead of saying them aloud. But his prayer routine meant too much to him. Daniel 6:10 says, “He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God” (NLT). He didn’t pray for a miraculous escape from the death penalty. He didn’t pray for revenge against his enemies. He gave thanks to God. Daniel understood that when we see God for who He is, we see our challenges, problems, and needs for what they are. This was a man who knew how to pray. So was Nehemiah. Nehemiah was a cupbearer for King Artaxerxes when the people of Israel lived in exile in Persia. Nehemiah used his influence to make the king aware of the plight of the Jewish exiles who had returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. The king asked Nehemiah, “Well, how can I help you?” (Nehemiah 2:4 NLT). Look at the words that follow: “With a prayer to the God of heaven, I replied …” (Nehemiah 2:4–5 NLT). During perhaps the most consequential conversation of his life, Nehemiah saw a good time to pray. And if we keep our prayer line open, we will recognize equally good times to pray—whether it’s for the strength to endure one of life’s storms or the words to present the gospel to an unbeliever. Any time is a good time to pray; no time is a bad time to pray. Reflection question: When were some good times to pray in your life?

The forces of darkness are real, but so is the supernatural armor God has provided to protect and empower you.   Too many believers go through life unaware of the spiritual war raging around them. They are distracted, unprepared, and defeated before the battle even begins. But God has equipped you with everything you need to stand strong and claim victory.   In today's episode, discover how to put on the full armor of God and walk in the power and protection He's promised. You are not defenseless—you are fully armed for victory.

Jeremiah - Message to the exiles. Liberation from captivity promised. Restoration of Jacob. Ephesians - Children and parents. Slaves and masters. The armor of God.

Ephesians 6:10-13New Living Translation10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armour so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.13 Therefore, put on every piece of God's armour so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningThe headlines shout, the streets churn, and our attention splinters. So tonight we slow down and pick up a sword that never dulls — the Word of God from Ephesians chapter 6.Together we name the real fight behind the fear, doubt, and despair so many feel. This isn't politics, trends, or busyness — it's spiritual. That's why we walk through the armour of God piece by piece and show how each part protects your life: truth to steady your thoughts, righteousness to guard your heart, readiness to keep you moving, faith to quench lies, salvation to anchor your future, and the Word of God to cut through confusion.Rather than hype, we model a simple method: take a verse like “Be strong in the Lord,” pray it aloud, personalise it, and keep returning to it until it reshapes your inner weather.We also get honest about church culture, performance, and the noise that often replaces presence. Worship isn't a stage; it's Spirit and truth. Sound doctrine isn't trivia; it's medicine for anxious minds. Identity in Christ breaks people-pleasing and frees you from the grip of headlines and social feeds.We share communion, practise Scripture-led prayer, and call listeners to surrender control for true freedom with the Holy Spirit.If you've felt overwhelmed, numb, or stuck, this conversation offers a clear path back to peace: root yourself in the Word, pray it line by line, and dress for the day with God's armour.

This week at Venture, Pastor Brandon kicks off our journey through the book of Ephesians, reminding us that the life we have in Christ is one of incredible blessing, identity, and purpose. Through the story of Hetty Green, a woman who lived in poverty despite her great wealth, we're challenged to stop living spiritually empty when we've already been given everything through Jesus. Paul's letter to the Ephesians shows us what it means to be chosen, redeemed, and adopted as God's sons and daughters. It's a call to live fully in the richness of God's grace. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online0:34 – Hetty Green: The richest miser3:18 – Wealth and living like we're poor3:47 – Introducing the book of Ephesians6:07 – Paul's story and why he matters9:24 – Why Ephesus was such a big deal14:10 – Ephesians: deep theology and daily application20:28 – “In Christ” — the most important word23:19 – Benefit 1: Redemption25:59 – Benefit 2: Chosen by God34:24 – Benefit 3: Adopted into His family36:56 – Living like sons and daughters37:57 – Invitation to follow Jesus40:31 – Prayer and response

What do we fight for as Christians? Ephesians 6 says that our fight is not against people, but against the spiritual forces of evil. There is a constant war for your soul. So we must fight to win! 

In this message, I share how God equips us with His full armor so we can stand firm against the forces of darkness. I talk about each piece of the armor—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit—and how prayer strengthens it all. My hope is to encourage you to live with courage, knowing victory is already assured in Christ.

Freed by the grace of our perfect Father, Christian fathers lead not by pressure or perfection, but by nourishing and discipling their children in the same love that has rescued them.

In Week 4 of The Good Fight series, Tori Newman taught us that we must recognize our true enemy and intentionally “get dressed daily” with the full armor of God to stand firm against spiritual attacks. She reminded us that prayer activates the armor and transforms us from being dressed for battle to being ready for war. This message was recorded live on October 19th, 2025.

Pastor Micah Stephens dives into Ephesians 6 as part of the anchored reading program, urging parents to disciple their children with a biblical worldview amid cultural darkness. Drawing from personal anecdotes like navigating family life with multiple kids and deciding against Halloween participation in favor of a worship night, he emphasizes shaping kids' views on God, humanity, truth, knowledge, and ethics to combat teenage apostasy. Through humor, like recalling the 1970s PSA "It's 10 p.m., do you know where your children are?" and cultural nods to Captain America, Stephens calls for intentional parenting that models repentance and prioritizes eternal kingdom value over worldly fun, aligning with the church's mission of applying Scripture to engage and transform society.Reference VersesEphesians 6 verses 1-4, Genesis 1 verse 1, Genesis 1 verse 27, Colossians 1 verses 16-17, Psalm 14 verse 1, 2 Corinthians 6 verses 14-16, Exodus 20 verse 12, Romans 3 verse 23, Psalm 8 verse 4, Psalm 139 verse 14, John 14 verse 6, John 17 verse 17, 2 Timothy 3 verse 16, Proverbs 1 verse 7, Colossians 2 verse 3, Romans 1 verse 20, Micah 6 verse 8, Isaiah 5 verse 20, Hebrews 13 verse 8, Deuteronomy 6 verses 4-9Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information! https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

How does the Gospel affect my job and work ethic? God created work to be a reflection of His intelligence and creativity, but sometimes we view it as a necessary evil. But what if God has a greater purpose for your work? Ephesians 6:5-9 reveals that we are called to glorify God with our work by honoring earthly authority.

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Family Discipleship. Because God created and instituted the family to display His glory, we will study His word to see more clearly how the roles He has given us reveal His character to us individually, as families, as a church and to the world around us. 

Is the Bible guilty of condoning slavery—or does it actually contain the seeds of its destruction? In this episode, we unpack one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture. Paul's words to slaves and masters weren't an endorsement of oppression but a radical redefinition of authority under the Lordship of Christ. From the Roman household to the modern workplace, discover how the gospel transforms every relationship—marriage, family, and labor—calling us to serve one true Master who alone sets us free.Please complete the content survey ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.⁠⁠My Portion: A 40 Day Journey of Finding All you Need in God⁠⁠⁠⁠Musings of A Redneck Reverend

Current Sermon Series The Politics of Jesus: Following Christ Beyond Left and Right September 7 – October 12 In our polarized world, Christians often feel pressured to choose between political tribes. But Jesus offers a third way that transcends partisan divisions. This series explores how Christ's kingdom values challenge both conservative and progressive assumptions, calling us to a higher allegiance. We'll examine how Jesus' cross dismantles systems of domination, how his economics challenge both capitalism and socialism, and how his community of disciples embodies a new social order. Rather than baptizing political ideologies, we'll explore how the gospel can shape our civic engagement, finding unity in Christ while navigating complex social issues with wisdom, grace, and prophetic imagination and courage.
