Summary: The Book of Ephesians has been called the Swiss Alps of the New Testament as we have scaled great heights of God's love and calling upon our lives. And as the Epistle began, so does it end, with “Grace”. God's story, and your story, all begins and ends with Grace…. God's-Riches-at-Christ's-Expense. Living in Grace and giving Grace to one another……. We will live a life that takes us into the heavenlies, where Christ is seated! Join us as we end where we began….. In Grace.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Putting on the Armour of God. (Ephesians 6: 10-20)I think there are several ways to describe the Christian life. Even the bible describes it in different ways. If you just started reading the Bible in Genesis and continued through the Old Testament, you might conclude that what God really just wants is for us to obey him. Keep reading; you'll discover that, in the New Testament, in places like John, it refers to the spiritual life as living in Christ. Get to Luke's, and it seems to emphasize being filled with the Holy Spirit and thereby living the Spirit-filled life. However, here in the book of Ephesians, Paul uses the metaphor to describe the spiritual life as a walk, and he uses that image over and over again. If spiritual life is described as a walk in which we obey God's revealed word, living in Christ and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, what should that walk look like? We are told there is not just difficult terrain to navigate, but there are dangers in the spiritual life. The Bible tells us there are wild beasts along the way waiting to attack and destroy. In addition, the New Testament warns us that we have an adversary who stalks the believer's life journey like a hungry lion seeking to devour us. The question we are going to consider in this passage is: how do we protect ourselves along the journey that is the spiritual life? If there's a lion about to pounce on us, is there any kind of defence system that we have? Well, I believe if we study this passage closely, we will find the answer is an emphatic yes. Paul describes the defence system for us in vivid detail in Ephesians chapter 6, beginning in verse 10. Let's hear what it has to say….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Dealing with Authority (Ephesians 6: 5-9)Do we work better when the boss is watching? What motivates us to work when the boss is not watching? I myself have been an employee and an employer. I've been the boss, and I've been the one under someone else's authority. I've been an employed team manager, an owner of a company that employed others, and a Pastor of a church. So, what determines our actions and our attitudes at work?When it comes to the secular workplace, in my experience, it seems to me that most people work for financial reasons. However, it is not just the desire for that money that determines what people do. Other factors can be things like how much they are appreciated by their bosses and their relationship with fellow workers.I personally don't believe that any of these motivations are wrong in themselves. Working for money or the approval of others or even to accept a higher-paying job if one comes along, all those motivations are perfectly legitimate. What I want to ask today is what our spiritual motivation should be? As believers in Jesus Christ, are there spiritual reasons for how we should approach work, or for how we behave if we are given authority over others?As we've been going through the book of Ephesians, we have come to a passage that addresses these very issues. This passage is helpful as it speaks to those who are working under authority, and then it turns around and also speaks to those who are in positions of authority. These verses tell us what our actions and our attitudes at work should be like, whether we are in charge or under someone else's authority.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Today we're stepping into one of the most challenging and often misunderstood topics in the New Testament. Paul's words about bondservants in Ephesians 6:5. It's a verse that raises eyebrows, sparks debate, and sometimes even serves as ammunition against the Christian faith. So today, we're going to slow down, look carefully, and ask the big question: Does the Bible promote slavery?Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: Children and Parents – Parents and Children (Ephesians 6: 1-4)Here's the good news: there is a book that speaks clearly, wisely, and compassionately about the parent‑child relationship. In fact, there is only one book that addresses it from a divine perspective, one that understands both the heart of the parent and the heart of the child. That book is the Bible, of course. One of God's purposes in giving us Scripture is to show us how to live in harmony with one another, especially within our families. God desires that we experience peace, joy, and long, fruitful lives together.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Summary: After studying the six pieces of spiritual armor, we will now see the engine that empowers the pieces, and it is prayer. Without prayer the spiritual armor is just for show, with no power; but with prayer….. unstoppable!
Ephesians 6:15 - Peace Shoes Pastor Mike Dean
We are engaged in a spiritual conflict, so we must purposefully arm ourselves with spiritual strength.
Message by Pastor Scott Edinger
Today we come to the first verse of Philippians chapter 4. Itis much more than a transition verse. In many ways, it is the conclusion ofeverything Paul has been teaching throughout this wonderful letter. Listen towhat he writes: "Therefore, mybrethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in theLord, my dearly beloved." The very first word is "Therefore."Whenever we see that word in Scripture, we should always ask, "What isit there for?" Paulis pointing us back to everything he has just written, especially the closingverses of chapter 3. Because our citizenship is in heaven... because we arelooking for the return of our Savior... because one day He will transform ourvile, lowly bodies to be like His glorious body... therefore, stand fast in theLord. Our future hope should determine our present faithfulness. Paulthen opens his heart to these believers with a series of beautiful expressionsof love. He calls them "my brethren dearly beloved." Paulloved these people with the love of Christ. Then he says they are "longedfor."Thoughseparated by hundreds of miles and imprisoned in Rome, Paul deeply desired tosee them again. Distance could not diminish his love for them. Next he callsthem "my joy." What a statement! Paul's joy was not found inpossessions or circumstances. It was found in people whose lives had beenchanged by the Gospel. Nothing brings greater joy to a pastor than seeingpeople growing in Christ, standing firm in the faith, and faithfully servingthe Lord. John expressed that same truth when he wrote in 3 John 4, "Ihave no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." ThenPaul calls them "my crown." The word "crown"here refers to the victor's crown that was placed upon the head of an athletewho had won the race. The Philippian believers were evidence that Paul's laborhad not been in vain. They were his spiritual reward. Every soul that comes toChrist... every believer who grows in grace... every life transformed by theGospel... will be an eternal reward for those who faithfully serve the Lord. ThenPaul comes to the central command of the verse: "So stand fast inthe Lord." The words "stand fast" mean to standfirm, to remain steadfast, to refuse to be moved. Paul has already used thisexpression back in Philippians 1:27: "Stand fast in one spirit, withone mind striving together for the faith of the gospel." The Christianlife is not only a race to run; it is also a battle to fight. The worldconstantly pressures us to compromise. The flesh tempts us to give up. Satanseeks to discourage and deceive us. Yet Paul says, "Stand fast in theLord." Noticehe does not simply say, "Stand fast." He says, "Standfast in the Lord." That makes all the difference. We do not stand inour own strength. We stand in His strength. We do not rely on our owndetermination. We depend upon His grace. Paul would later write in Ephesians6:10, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power ofhis might." The only way we can stand against the pressures of thisworld is by abiding in Christ every day. Ilove how Paul closes this verse just as he began it: "My dearlybeloved." His command is wrapped in love. He is not speaking as aharsh authority demanding obedience. He is speaking as a loving spiritualfather encouraging his children to remain faithful. My friend, that is God'smessage to each of us today. Stand fast. Stand when culture changes. Stand when others compromise. Stand when trialscome. Stand when your faith is tested. Stand when you feel weary. Stand—not inyour own strength—but in the Lord. One day our Savior will return, and it willbe worth it all. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!
Paul finishes his letter to the Ephesians with the topic of prayer. Prayer is ultimately tuning our hearts to what God is already doing, remembering who he is, and our way to take up the armor we've been talking about in this sermon series. Listen as we wrap up our Masterpiece series and discuss prayer as a way to stay connected to God in all situations.

Ephesians 6:10-13 and 18-2010 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, …………. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
