“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬)

July 5, 2026 What does it really look like to imitate God? In a culture filled with darkness, distraction, and self-centeredness, followers of Jesus are called to stand out through holiness, gratitude, and Spirit-filled living. Ephesians 5:1–20 reveals how a life that imitates God is marked by love, light, wisdom, and the power of the Holy Spirit. "Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children." Ephesians 5:1 (NLT) What does it look like to imitate God? About this Sermon Series God has always had a plan. The book of Ephesians reveals the incredible story of God's plan to bring salvation to all people through Jesus Christ and unite them into one family. In this 13-week series, we'll discover what it means to live with purpose as people who have been chosen, redeemed, and called by God. Along the way, we'll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our everyday relationships—with family, friends, the Church, and the world around us. Ephesians is an invitation to step into God's greater story and live the kind of life we were created for.

Pastor Paul teaches through key phrases from the second chapter of Ephesians, highlighting the condition from which we needed to be rescued and how God, in His great mercy and love, made the way for our salvation in Christ.Love Church is a Christian Church community based in Menomonie, WI with a desire to experience & express the love 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'.

(Ephesians 4: 25)Saved by Grace, United in One Body. Earlier in this letter, Paul reminded us that it is: “By grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8) We are saved by grace, not by our performance. And when we trust Christ, we become part of something bigger than ourselves — the Body of Christ. We are joined to one another. We belong to one another. We grow with one another. We serve one another. That's why Paul said yesterday our purpose is “…to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…” (Ephesians 4:12–13)The Journey of Spiritual Growth. In yesterday's study, we were given three foundational principles: 1. Put off the old self“…put off your former way of life…” (4:22)Take off the old habits, the old attitudes, the old patterns of sin — like taking off an old coat. 2. Renew your mind“…be made new in the attitude of your minds…” (4:23)Let Scripture reshape your thinking so you begin to think God's thoughts rather than simply reacting to the world around you. 3. Put on the new self“…put on the new self, created to be like God…” (4:24)Replace old vices with new virtues. Replace old habits with new patterns. Replace old ways of speaking with new ways of speaking. But now — beginning in verse 25 — Paul gets specific. He gives us five concrete examples of what spiritual growth looks like in everyday life. And over the next five episodes, we're going to take each one in turn. And the first one — the foundation of all the others — is this found in this single verse, verse 25….

Stop Living Like You're Going To Run Out On June 25, 1967, the Beatles debuted a new song during the first live international satellite broadcast in human history. Roughly 350 million people across 25 countries tuned in at once. It was the first time technology had connected the world in real time, and the most influential band on the planet had the chance to say anything they wanted to all of it. They chose “All You Need Is Love.” Credit where it's due: they weren't wrong about the diagnosis. We do need love. Our families need it, our communities need it, you need it. But the Summer of Love built its vision on a definition of love untethered from commitment, more about self-expression than self-sacrifice, more about discovering yourself than denying yourself for someone else. We're still living in the wake of that definition. There's a sad irony here too. Less than three years after that broadcast, the band that sang “all you need is love” had broken up. We shouldn't judge them too quickly, though. We're all prone to the same thing. Marriages fall apart. Friendships dissolve. Churches split. Left in our own power, none of us are naturally quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. A Letter Without a Fire to Put Out Paul's letter to the Ephesians stands apart from his other letters in an important way. Most of Paul's writing is reactive. He writes to Corinth because they keep finding creative new ways to sin. He writes to the Thessalonians because they've quit their jobs, convinced the end is imminent. He writes to Timothy because fear has gotten the better of him. Ephesians isn't putting out a fire. Paul is painting a picture: a church where enemies become family, where broken people are made whole, where love isn't just defined but actually displayed. And right at the hinge point of the letter, before he tells anyone how to live or love, Paul drops to his knees and prays. Specifically, he prays that the church would be filled with the fullness of God's love. Why start there? Because your vision of God's love determines the shape of your entire life. If you believe God is distant, you'll live anxious. If you believe his love must be earned, you'll live like a performer. If you believe he's withholding, you'll live fearful and controlling. But if you believe he delights in you, you'll live secure. There's a real difference between knowing God loves you and actually believing it. Gradual, and Multi-Sensory Paul's prayer reveals two things about how this comprehension actually happens. First, it doesn't happen all at once. Paul prays in a kind of staircase: being strengthened in your inner being, then Christ taking up full residence in your heart (not just visiting, but holding keys to every door, including the ones you keep locked), then becoming rooted and grounded in love as your actual operating system, and finally being filled with the fullness of God. This is the slow work of spiritual formation, becoming a person with greater and greater capacity to both receive and give love. Second, it doesn't happen in one way. We tend to assume love is something you learn in a classroom, like memorizing facts about the ocean. But Paul prays that we'd “know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.” That's not something you take care of in a single lecture. It's something closer to diving into the water itself. You experience God's love in community, when people pull their chairs closer instead of pulling away from your honesty. You experience it in practice, in things like Sabbath rest, which you can't learn from a textbook, only from doing it. You experience it through the Holy Spirit, who ministers directly to your deepest wounds. And you experience it in both moments and marathons: the instant where you finally feel like you don't have to hide anymore, and the long seasons of endurance that shape you over years. The Problem Was Never Scarcity A couple adopted a five-year-old girl from Haiti named Addie, whose parents had died in an accident. Her first night in her new home, she watched her two teenage brothers devour an entire dinner and clear the table. She went quiet, convinced she'd just witnessed the last meal she'd see for a while. Her new mother didn't just tell her there was more food. She walked her to the fridge, the pantry, the freezer, and showed her everything. “Honey, you'll never go hungry again.” That's what Paul is doing in this prayer. He's opening the fridge. He's opening the pantry. He's saying: stop living like an orphan. Stop living like God's love is scarce. Look around. There is more than enough. The problem was never a shortage of God's love. The problem is our capacity to receive it. Many of us are sitting at the Father's table still living like we're starving.

When musk oxen are threatened, they don't scatter and fight alone. They form a tight, outward-facing circle — every animal protecting the one beside it. That's closer to what Paul had in mind in Ephesians 6 than anything Hollywood has given us. Paul wasn't writing to lone soldiers. He was writing to a family- the church. And the armor he describes was never a private kit. It's God's own armor, worn together, piece locking into piece, shield overlapping shield. In this final message of the Ephesians series, Pastor David walks through the full armor of God — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Spirit — and the vision of corporate prayer that follows it, closing out the letter on grace, peace, and love that never decays. In this message: Why every piece of armor belonged to God first - before it ever belonged to Rome The belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, and gospel shoes — and what they mean for daily life The Roman shield-wall (testudo) and why faith was never meant to be carried alone Why the helmet of salvation defends the mind, not just the heart How we are meant to be a family together- standing in battle as one in Christ Key Scriptures: Ephesians 6:10–24 • Isaiah 11:5; 52:7; 59:17 • Ephesians 1:2; 2:8–9, 14; 4:21 • Romans 12:2 • 1 Peter 5:8–9 • 1 Thessalonians 5:8 • John 14:6, 26

Scripture: Ephesians 2:19–22 & 1 Peter 2:4–5 In this message, we dive into one of the New Testament's most profound metaphors for the local church: The Holy Temple of God. No longer foreigners or strangers, we are being built together into a dwelling place for God's Spirit [01:44]. Key Takeaways: The Blueprint: Jesus Christ is our Chief Cornerstone, anchoring everything we do [04:57]. The church is built firmly upon the foundation of God's Word [25:23], with believers serving as "living stones" [12:29]. Shift the Focus: In a self-focused world, the church is a radical counter-culture. It is not primarily about us or what we can get; we gather first and foremost to worship God and pray [15:44]. Better Together: There is no such thing as a "lone ranger" Christian. We are designed to experience spiritual growth, accountability, and regular community together, not in isolation [27:16]. Expect His Presence: God desires to dwell among us in increasing power and grace [30:51]. Reflecting on historic moves of God like the 1906 Azusa Street Revival, we are reminded of the global impact that happens when a humble church seeks a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit [31:39]. The Challenge: Let's be a people who passionately pursue God's presence, making space for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in our homes, our church, and our community [37:21].

Date: June 7, 2026 Title: The Deep Love of God Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-19; 1 John 4:8-10 Will Washington

Wednesday evening message from Pastor Tim Berlin. May 27, 2026

Original Date: 05/24/2026John Crosby

Christian growth is not merely about gaining information, but about transformation into the likeness of Christ. Paul writes in 1 Timothy 1:5, “The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.” Biblical teaching is meant to shape our hearts, minds, and lives—not simply fill our heads with facts. In 2 Peter 1:3–4, Peter makes the astonishing claim that through God's promises believers become “partakers of the divine nature.” Peter is not teaching that humans become gods in the pagan sense, but that through Christ we increasingly share in God's holiness, love, wisdom, immortality, and character. The ancient world reserved ideas of “divinization” for emperors and legendary heroes, but Peter declares that through Jesus this transformation is available to all believers. This transformation happens as we know Christ deeply through Scripture, prayer, discipleship, and sound teaching. God's promises are not merely informational—they are transformational. As we behold Christ through truth, we are gradually changed into His image. Scripture calls believers to “be imitators of God” (Ephesians 5:1) and reminds us that we are “being transformed into the same image from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). The Christian life is not only about forgiveness; it is about restoration. Through Christ, God is renewing humanity into what it was always meant to be. Therefore, Christians should hunger for Scripture, truth, and spiritual growth, because knowledge rightly applied becomes transformation. Weekly pursue God in learning and contemplation on godly teaching.The post Practical Christianity 6: Weekly Learning first appeared on Living Hope.

When Jesus cried, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46), He was not imagining separation from the Father. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the staggering reality of the cross: in that moment, the sin of humanity was laid upon the sinless Son of God, and Jesus endured the judgment every believer deserved. Dr. Youssef explains why Jesus addressed the Father differently in His anguish—seeing Him as Judge as our guilt was heaped upon Him. This is the center of the Gospel: every person will face God's judgment, but those who receive forgiveness are those who trust that Jesus took their judgment upon Himself. You'll be led to reflect on the breathtaking exchange Christ accomplished: He became sin though He never sinned, so we could be made righteous. He died in darkness so we could live in light. He was forsaken so we could be accepted. He was rejected so we could be received. This devotional is a call to pause, remember, and worship—because your salvation cost Christ everything. Prayer: Lord, thank You for bearing my sin on the cross. Thank You for Your sacrifice. May I live wholeheartedly for You in the freedom You have secured for me. I want to bring You honor and glory, giving all praise and credit to You for any good You work in my heart. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “. . . walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 5:2). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Put on the Full Amor of God | Ephesians 6 10-18

Perhaps this lesson might be better titled Exercising Faith since we never generate faith ourselves. As the SS Quarterly itself says: It's not something we can generate ourselves, for “God has dealt to each one a measure of faith” (Romans 12:3), and faith is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Thus, faith is a gift that God has given everyone, but that does not mean that everyone is exercising faith in God. Yet exercising faith is not a mere mental assent to a doctrine or a group of doctrines, or even to the existence of God/Jesus/Spirit. Faith that saves is ...

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! Title: What Happens When You Truly Know God? (Ephesians 1:15–23) Description: What does faith look like and how does it actually change your life? In Ephesians 1:15–23, Paul shows us that faith in Christ is not just something you believe—it's something that transforms how you live. Real faith shows up in love, grows through knowing God, and lives from the hope, identity, and power God has already given. In this message, we unpack how knowing God deeply leads to a life that is visibly different. Big Idea: Know God. Live Changed. In this message: How faith produces love for others Why knowing God matters more than changing your circumstances How to live from the hope, identity, and power God has already given Scripture: Ephesians 1:15–23 Takeaway: Don't just try harder; know God deeper. Next Step: This week, spend time daily in Ephesians 1:15–23 and ask: Where do I need to grow in love? Am I living with gratitude or focused on myself? What do I need to know about God more this week? Live it out: Know God this week and live changed. To learn more: sylvanway.com Send us your prayer requests & comments: sylvanway.com/connect To partner with us through giving: sylvanway.com/give

Whether we're aware of it or not, temptation is all around us at work. It didn't get left at home when we left for work today. As we take God to work with us, we should also be aware that the enemy will be working there too. Starting our day with the Lord in prayer, and putting on the FULL armor of God (Ephesians 6), are some of the best ways to keep the door shut on temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.  And IF you've opened the door to temptation at work, speaking and praying bible verses over it is the way to combat it. Today, will YOU fight temptation at work with the presence of the Lord and His word?
