Scripture: Ephesians 4:17-24 / Zack Thurman

There are two typical approaches to work today, and both of them are wrong. Both of them cut right against what God meant work to be. One approach says, “Work is a curse—something to be endured for a paycheck.” The other approach says, “Work is my way to find self-esteem through achievement.” But the Bible, and the fourth of the Ten Commandments, shows us a different view of work. Let's see what the fourth commandment and Ephesians 6 show us about work: 1) work is not a curse; it's a calling, 2) work is not for yourself; it's for him, and 3) three things to do if you're unhappy with your job. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 22, 1989. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.

The scriptures tell us that; “God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it?

Some people say there's a cultural crisis of integrity.  For example, Volkswagen was revealed to have deliberately used software designed to lie about emissions. It was a failure of integrity from one of the biggest corporations in the world. And some of you may be yawning, thinking that's just the way things are. But the Bible says a supernaturally changed heart rejoices with the truth. Let's talk about 1) how important integrity is, 2) how you practice integrity, and 3) how you can become people of integrity.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 19, 2016.

There is nothing that beggars your own sense of wisdom than to study what the Bible says about divine wisdom. Ephesians 5 tells us a lot about wisdom. And it shows us that biblical wisdom puts God in the center in a way that develops three aspects of wisdom. We see in these verses 1) why we need to walk in wisdom, and 2) what it means to walk in wisdom. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 9, 1991.

Ephesians 5 talks about light and wisdom. Paul says that because you once were darkness and now are light, you should now expose works of darkness and experience the fruit of light. Then in verse 15, Paul says that we are to walk as wise and not as fools, for the days are evil. What Paul is saying is that walking in wisdom is the way in which you expose the deeds of the darkness. In these verses, Paul shows us 1) there are two different realms—darkness and light, 2) we are to have nothing to do with unfruitful works of darkness, but are to instead bear the fruit of the light, and 3) as one who is in the light, your job is to expose the deeds of darkness.

The essence of Christianity is arguing with yourself. What makes you an effective Christian is that you're continually arguing with yourself, and you're winning the argument. Because of what Christ did, God can restore the world and restore everything if we come to him through Christ. And in Ephesians 5, Paul uses the imagery of darkness and light to argue with us about how we need to be living: “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.” If you don't get the verse right, you'll never win the argument.  To understand this, we have to understand what the Bible means when it talks about light and darkness in spiritual terms. It means: 1) God is truth, 2) God is righteousness, and 3) a mark of somebody who has crossed from darkness to light is that they become more of a servant.

Christianity is never a mechanical thing. And the church is not a morality agency—it's a regenerating agency. The real goal of the do's and the don'ts in the Christian life is always character—growing into God's holy people. The church does bring about moral behavior but, in a sense, as a byproduct. Because what the church is after is to turn people into saints, to create a kind of person. In Ephesians 5, we learn three things: 1) your Christian faith has to include a saying no as well as a saying yes, 2) Paul explains a few critical things you must say no to (greed, foolish talking, and sexual immorality), and 3) the whole point is not to give us a list of do's and don'ts, but the point is always to be holy.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 12, 1991.

Whenever God turns to you, if you believe in him, all he sees when he looks at you is complete beauty and sweetness. Jesus Christ offered himself up and fulfilled all of the obligations we owe God, so he has completely satisfied God. God sees nothing and senses nothing but sweetness when he regards you. But you still live in a world twisted and broken by sin. And you have to deal with the realities of that. Therefore, there's always a negative. And Ephesians 5:3-7 tells the negatives: there are prohibitions, limits, warnings. There are no exceptions to them.  We must see both the positive and the negative: 1) the positive is that Jesus has fulfilled the law, and 2) for the negative, there are three categories of no's: no covetousness, no foolish talking, and no sexual immorality.

If you look at the particulars Christian teachings, the particulars don't look that different from many other ethical systems. The difference is that Christianity is never interested in moral behavior simply as moral behavior. In every instance, putting on the new self means to remember your identity. Being a Christian is ultimately about being melted with spiritual understandings of who you are now that Jesus Christ has said, “You are my beloved child,” of who you are now that the Holy Spirit has come in and said, “I now live within your heart.” Ephesians 4 is an amazingly multifarious passage on what the Christian lifestyle really is. And the purpose of this passage is to show how we can put off the old self and put on the new.  Let's look at anger and forgiveness. We'll look at anger to see 1) suppression or denial of anger is wrong, 2) anger is sometimes required, 3) there are sinful forms of anger, and 4) if you can't forgive, it's because you haven't sensed his forgiveness.

Christianity has an amazing approach to lying and to anger that almost nobody else has. For truth-telling, it says truth must always be told with love. And for anger, it says, “Be ye angry, and sin not.” Paul doesn't say, “Well if you get angry, it might be okay.” He says, “Be angry. Do it.” Very often it is wrong not to be angry. But then he turns around and says, “and sin not.” It must mean two things: that anger can easily lead to sin and trouble, and that it's possible to be angry but not become sinful. Ephesians 4 shows us a lot about lying and anger. Let's look at 1) what it means to speak the truth in love. And then we'll discuss how 2) anger is not wrong in itself, 3) we are to sin not, and 4) we have a way to deal with anger.
