    Watch Your Walk Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 7, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,693 views

    Paul says we need to watch how we walk, watch our time, and watch our foolishness. In all this we must discover God’s will for our lives.

    Ephesians 5:15 Be very careful (see), then, how you live (walk)—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of (redeeming) every opportunity (time-kronos), because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish (foolish-lacking the inner perspective-watching again-that fails to see ...read more

    Light Series

     | 10,249 views

    Paul said “you ARE light”. Jesus said “you are the light of the world”. When we continue to behave like those who live in darkness, we are hiding the light that can transform the world. The only way to enlighten is to be light.

    Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather ...read more

    Thanksgiving Instead Of Bad Words Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,315 views

    Impure passions become vehicles we take for a joyride end up like self-driving cars that take us where we don't want to go. They become our lords. But if we pursue purity of action and speech, these same passions become angels that lift us to heaven

    Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,113 views

    I think all of the things on this list, sexual immorality, unrighteousness and greed all share this component: they devalue something which is invaluable.

    Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Which is more valuable, the things we buy or the things we receive and give freely? Think about it. We pay a high price ...read more

    In the midst of the darkest time, when the world is at its bleakest, God calls us to be children of the Light and children of the Day. He calls us to be the Truth when all around us are lies. He calls us to be courage, when everyone cowers in fear.

    Psalm 12 The World is a Mess. But God is With Us. Lies According to research, By age four, 90% of children have learned how to lie. According to a 2002 study, 60% of adults can’t have a ten minute conversation without lying at least once. 86% of us lie to our parents regularly, 75% of us ...read more

    Paul is suggesting we should not necessarily limit ourselves to colleagues, or instructors or even celebrities, maybe especially celebrities, as our examples. We should look to God.

    Ephesians 5:1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and 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. You know those puzzles with a thousand pieces or so? Some are really difficult. If you've ...read more

    What we say reflects what is inside. What we say also affects what is inside.When we are careless with our words we grieve God. We also transform ourselves. When we are careful about our words we please God, and are transformed to reflect Him better

    Putting off of old things-like old clothing crusted with mud-we are commanded to put off falsehood and put on truth.

    We all have ideas and ideals of how things are and how they should be that have been shaped by our experience and our world. Paul is saying we need to look away from the world to develop new values and thoughts based on God's values.

    Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their ...read more

    What Paul describes here definitely applies to us. Jesus has taken many captives, literally, He lead captivity captive.
