Sermon from Phil Friesen on February 22, 2026
The Christian life is a spiritual battle. In Ephesians 6, the apostle Paul exhorts the church in Ephesus to withstand the attacks of the enemy and the spiritual hosts of wickedness. Believers are to be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:10) and put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:11) to stand against Satan's schemes. Our battle is spiritual, not physical (Ephesians 6:12). This armor allows believers to stand firm in the faith (Ephesians 6:13).Christians must equip themselves with the whole armor of God. This armor includes such elements as truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.

God gives us instructions in the Bible for how to experience the most harmony and unity within a marriage, a family, and the workplace. But we must first understand submission to the Lord before we can “submit to one another in the fear of the Lord” (Ephesians 5:21). How we relate with and respond to one another depends on our own walk with the Lord. Follow along in Ephesians 5–6 as Pastor Gary unpacks Biblical truth for wives, husbands, children, parents, and co-workers.
Who really has the final say in raising your kids—parents, the government, or the culture around us? In this week's episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dive deep into the vital topic of parental rights—not just as a political issue, but as a spiritual calling. God has entrusted each parent with the divine responsibility of raising their children in the "training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). But in a world where systems often blur the lines of authority and redefine what's best for children, it's easy to feel confused or powerless. Rachael and Natalie remind us that stewardship of our families begins with understanding that our children are not society's project—they are God's gift. Drawing from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, this episode contrasts the Biblical Worldview of parenthood with the secular narrative that views children as communal assets. Listeners will gain practical ways to reclaim confidence in their God-given role—learning to stand firm in truth while engaging the culture with wisdom and grace. Through Scripture, encouragement, and relatable conversation, Rachael and Natalie unpack how Christian parents can faithfully lead their homes, advocate effectively, and model Gospel-shaped leadership in a world that often pushes against Biblical authority. Whether you're wrestling with school choices, navigating tough cultural conversations, or simply wondering how to stand firm as a parent today, this episode offers both conviction and calm for your soul. Scripture References in This Episode: Ephesians 6:4 – "Bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 4:1 – "Live a life worthy of the calling you have received." James 1:27 – "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…" Colossians 4:5–6 – "Walk in wisdom toward outsiders… let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt."

Ephesians 1
Message from Billy Zwart on September 28, 2025
On Father's Day, Peter Lenehan preaches from Proverbs 3:1–12 and Matthew 6:25–34, reminding us that being devoted dads—and devoted disciples—begins with knowing what it means to be a child of God. Drawing on Jesus' command not to worry but to seek first God's kingdom and righteousness, Peter encourages fathers and all believers to trust in God's provision rather than chasing after temporary things. He challenges dads to place their Christian identity first, then their calling as husbands, and then as fathers, raising children in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). With honesty and encouragement, this sermon points us back to the cross as the ultimate reason we can trust God as our perfect Father who never fails in his care. 5 Questions to Think About: What does Proverbs 3:5–6 teach us about trusting God instead of relying on our own understanding? How does Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:25–34 challenge your daily worries and priorities? In what ways do you find yourself chasing after temporary things rather than seeking God's kingdom first? For fathers—how can your Christian identity shape your role as a husband and dad (Ephesians 5:25; 6:4)? How does looking to the cross give you confidence that God has truly “got you covered” in every circumstance? 3 Takeaways from the Message: We are children of God first—our security and identity rest in his provision and love (1 John 3:1). Seek first God's kingdom—when we prioritize his righteousness, he promises to provide what we need (Matthew 6:33). Fatherhood flows from faith—devoted dads (and all believers) lead well when they trust God, live out their Christian identity, and raise children in the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).
Obedience is difficult for all of us when someone asks us to do something, but what about when it is God asking? In this week's message, we learn some of the reasons & benefits to obey God.Visit: abideatascadero.orgEmail: info@abideatascadero.orgInstagram: @abide.calvary_atascFacebook: @AbideCalvaryAtascadero

Sunday evening message from Evangelist Morris Gleiser. June 1, 2025
Paul makes a grand statement in Ephesians 5:8–10 that while we were once of the darkness, now we are light in Christ Jesus, the Light Himself. And as children of the light, we bear the fruit of His life (namely goodness, righteousness, and truth). Then Paul says that we are to discover what is pleasing to the Lord. In this study, we examine what it means to discern and test things to see if they are pleasing to the Lord, two ways our lives are proven as pleasing, and how we are to live in this incredible new reality.------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Nathan, Eric, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more Christ-centered teaching and resources from Nathan Johnson that will help you grow spiritually by checking out his website at: https://deeperchristian.com/

At the close of Ephesians chapter 2, the Apostle Paul talks about the transforming work of the gospel and how it has broken down any barriers between those who are in Christ. In today's sermon, we see how this is best reflected in the identity and work of the local church.
The beginning of Ephesians 2 is one of the clearest expositions of the gospel in the New Testament. In today's sermon, we consider the work and character of God who in his mercy and lovingkindness offers salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ to any who would believe.
The Apostle Paul begins Ephesians chapter 2 reminding the church at Ephesus who they were before Christ. In today's sermon, we consider the reality of our need for the gospel to save us from the rightful consequence of our sinfulness.
As Paul brings the first chapter of Ephesians to a close, he offers a prayer for the church at Ephesus. In today's sermon we learn how Paul's response to the truth of the gospel should and can inform our own response.
Throughout the first chapter of Ephesians the Apostle Paul returns to the work of the Triune God in redemption. In today's sermon, we explore the role of the Holy Spirit who is the guarantee of our inheritance and the assurance of our salvation.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. – Ephesians 6:1
The Apostle Paul aims to refresh and inspire the hearts of the church at Ephesus in writing to them about the blessings of God offered to them in Christ. In today's sermon, we see how God's plan to unite all things to himself is carried out by the work of redemption in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.
A new year is a time to gratefully reflect on the experiences of the past and to look forward with anticipation to the future. In today's sermon, we begin the first of a four week series in Ephesians 1, where we will consider the past, present, and future work of God in Christ.

Please forgive the audio on this episode. Colossians 3:13 "Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive". Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matt 1:23 Luke 1:31-35 Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus. / He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, / and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!” ... James 1:17: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights" Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Ephesians 2:8: The gift of God is a gift that we can't earn or deserve John 3:5–8; 6:63; Romans 8:10; 1 Corinthians 15:45; 2 Corinthians 3:6: The gift of God is a new life that comes from the Holy Spirit Romans 5:15; 6:23; Revelation 22:17: The gift of God is free 2 Corinthians 9:14–15: The apostle Paul says that the gift of God is too wonderful for words Luke 23:34 "And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”". Acts 3:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord". Luke 6:36-37 "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven". • Matthew 18:21-22 Jesus says that there ought to be no limit on the number of times that one should forgive another so long as the offender repents and asks for forgiveness.
Question: Though I've read your excellent discussions on eternal security, I still need understanding of the following Scriptures—Romans 11:21-22: “...if thou continue in His goodness” sounds conditional; Colossians 1:22-23, “If ye continue in the faith…” ditto; Hebrews 3:6, 14 have the same idea; 2 Peter 2:20-22 speaks of those who have “escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord…and who were washed…being entangled again and overcome.” If these apparent contradictions could be covered in a future “Q&A,” it would be greatly appreciated.Response: The New Testament contains frequent exhortations to godly living, to “continue in the faith” and to “hold fast the confidence firm unto the end” (Hebrews 3:6, 14) and to “walk worthy of the Lord” (Ephesians 4:1; Colossians 1:10), and warns of being “cut off” (Romans 11:22).The exhortation is to two classes of people: (1) Those who are false professors, in order to show them that their lives demonstrate that they do not truly know the Lord; and (2) Christians who are living in disobedience, to warn them that if they continue to dishonor their Lord, He will severely discipline them. The latter could be “cut off” from fellowship with other believers, or from this life....
