We're in the second of a two-part series on the devil and the conflict between supernatural forces of good and supernatural forces of evil. In Part 1, I made my case for why I think it's immanently sensible to say there really is a devil. And we talked about Satan's weapons and strategies. If you go through the Bible all the way back to Adam and Eve, what is Satan's strategy? He's not possessing them. He's lying to them. On the basis of that understanding, we're going to proceed and look at the Christian's weapons and strategies. If you want to defeat the forces of evil and be successful in the battles of life, you must put on the full armor of God. What is that? In this passage, we can learn 1) when to put it on, 2) what it is, 3) how to put it on, and 4) whom to remember when you do. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 5, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 6:14-24.

The devil. Spiritual warfare. In Africa, Latin America, Asia, most places in the world, the idea of spiritual warfare—of a conflict between spiritual good and spiritual evil—is not an unusual concept. Many people in many parts of the world think this helps make sense of reality. But here in the Western world, we find it a foreign concept. Let's look at this passage on spiritual warfare, and let's notice 1) whom we fight, 2) what we fight, and 3) how we fight. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 29, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-13.

What it means to be a Christian is to be theologically driven—it means stuff about the cross, and grace, and redemption. And all those things have an effect on how we live in every area of our practical lives. It's helpful to look at the big picture and to see how Christ really is Lord of every area of life. In Ephesians 6, two of those areas are laid out for us: work and family. Let's take a look at this under these three headings: 1) Jesus and your work, 2) Jesus and your family, and 3) Jesus and your life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 22, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 6:1-9.

Ephesians 5 is like a fair number of people in New York City. It's both rich and famous. Because it's so rich, you could work through it word by word and get quite a bit out of it. But it's also advantageous to do what we're going to do, which is to fly over the whole thing. In this way, we'll get a panoramic view of the immense biblical wisdom on this subject of marriage. What we learn about marriage here is 1) what it is, 2) what it does, 3) what it needs, and 4) what it shows. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 15, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Ephesians 5:21–33.

Christianity is not just a vitamin supplement. It doesn't just come into your life and give you a little boost to live a better form of the life you're living. It's a sweeping revolution that affects every part of you. In Ephesians 5, we have a long passage on what it means to live the Christian life. And it's not that we live in a certain way and, therefore, become Christians. It's that we become Christians and, therefore, live in a certain way—because we're saved not by what we do but by what Christ has done. In this passage, there are three important keys to understanding what it means to live the Christian life. It entails 1) knowing sin and walking in obedience, 2) knowing the time and walking in wisdom, and 3) knowing the Lord and walking in joy.

We all want to change. I don't know anybody who doesn't say, “I really need to change.” And one of the greatest things about Christianity is Christianity gives you the resources to change. Jesus Christ was born into this world to give us second birth. The idea of being born again means radical change. Often we don't quite know how change actually happens. But Ephesians 4 gives four concrete principles for how the gospel helps us change. What does change mean to Christians? It means you have to 1) make a decision, and 2) change from the inside. And you do that by 3) transforming your thinking, and 4) being captivated by him. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 12, 2011.

In Ephesians 4, we find a pretty remarkable argument. The argument has three parts. The flow of the argument is that even though we have the life of the trinity in us, we live in spiritual immaturity until we're willing to do the hard work of developing and creating unity in the church. Let's take a look at each part: 1) the life of the trinity, 2) we live in spiritual immaturity, and 3) do the hard work of developing and creating unity in the church.

Thinking about the gospel of Jesus Christ leads Paul to pray in a particular way—in a passionate way. Usually people in those days prayed standing. Paul kneels—it's a sign of great emotion and solemnity. And what does he so passionately pray for? That his readers—and that also means us—would be strengthened with the power of the Spirit. Let's explore this: 1) Why is that so important? 2) What is it? and 3) How do we get it? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 27, 2011.

Most teachers tend to overlook or go past this particular passage in Ephesians 3. Here's the reason. In the middle of the first sentence, there's a dash. Paul just breaks off and goes into a digression, literally a sidebar, and he doesn't come out of it until verse 13. This really is a sudden thought he had. And yet, what's in here is so practical. In here we're going to learn 1) the hardness of life, 2) the wonder of grace, 3) the brilliance of the church, and 4) the freedom that comes.

There's a problem. We aren't what we are. The book of Ephesians is ultimately about the church. Paul very directly talks about what the church is and who the church is. These are some of the most powerful passages on that subject that you're ever going to find. And in Ephesians 2, we're being told 1) what we were, 2) what we are, and 3) how we can really become what we are.

Paul prays that we'd see the evidence of God's mighty power at work in the world. And in Ephesians 2, we see one of the main ways we can be sure God's power is at work. It's the real heart of what Ephesians says about the church. And that is that inside the church, people who could never get along outside the church, are now living together in peace. Paul says God has addressed one of the main problems the human race has ever had: 1) what is the problem? 2) what is God's solution for it? and 3) how did he bring it about?

Christians talk about being saved. But what does it mean to be saved? Whatever we say we think it means, we should be meaning what's said here in Ephesians 2. This is one of the richest passages in all the Bible word for word on what it means to be saved. And it says twice that we're saved through faith. Notice it easily breaks into three parts: 1) the life we're saved from, 2) the life we're saved for, and 3) how we get from here to there.

Many people say they don't believe in Christianity. But in all my years as a minister, I've seldom talked to anybody who rejected Christianity and actually knew what they rejected. If you're uninterested in Christianity, you need to know what it is you're rejecting. And if you are a Christian, you need to figure out if you're living consistently. In these first verses of Ephesians, Paul gives an amazing picture of what it means to be a Christian. This passage shows us that being a Christian means three things: 1) truth, 2) hope, and 3) glory.

No matter how long a sentence is, if you find the subject and the predicate, you can figure out the point of the sentence. In the original Greek, there are 202 words in this one sentence that spans from verse 3 to 14 of Ephesians 1. The subject of this great sentence is God and everything God is doing. And the predicate shows that everything God's doing is happening toward an end. There is a plan for history, and Jesus is the point of the plan. Let's take a look at these three things: 1) there's a plan, 2) what's in the plan, and 3) Jesus is the point of the plan.

We're looking at an astonishing claim. In the New Testament, the word “blessing” doesn't just mean what we mean by it today. It's closer to shalom. It means every joy and every benefit your heart and soul needs and longs for. And in Ephesians 1:3, we're told if you're a Christian you have already been blessed (past tense) with every spiritual blessing there is. What in the world could that mean? Let's look at the text with these questions: 1) How do we get every spiritual blessing? 2) What is every spiritual blessing? 3) Why can we have every spiritual blessing? and 4) How do you know you have every spiritual blessing?

The first three chapters of Ephesians has a lot of heavy theology about what it means to be a Christian and who we are in Christ. Then, it suddenly gets incredibly practical—and it's not actually a different subject. All of the theology has an effect on how we live in our practical lives. Christ really is Lord of every area of life. Two of those areas are now laid out for us: work and family. We're going to look now at 1) Jesus and your work, 2) Jesus and your family, and 3) Jesus and your life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 22, 2012. Series: A Study of Ephesians: Who is the Church? Scripture: Luke 6:1-11.
