    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,710 views

    Paul explains how the church is a really "big deal" in the plan of God and how it should, therefore be a "big deal" to us.

    A word that Paul uses in our passage for today is one that he also uses elsewhere in this book. That word is “mystery. The word “mystery,” is used by Paul in verses 3, 4, 6, & 9. What is Paul referring to when he uses this word? The word, “mystery” might make us think of Agatha Christie, Sherlock ...read more

    Paul prays that we might experience the power of God to enable us to grow in Christ.

    Have you ever experienced the problem of your mind wandering as you have sought to spend time in prayer? I think we all have. As you pray for your family, you think of your home. As you think of your home, you think of your living room. As you think of your living room, you think of your T.V. As ...read more

    A sermon on assurance of salvation.

    At a certain Christian school, the teacher taught her class to recite the Apostle’s Creed, clause by clause, with each pupil having his own clause to recite. They would begin class each day with the recitation of the Apostle’s creed in this manner. In this unique way, she took role each day. One ...read more

    Paul prays for believers to experience Christ-likeness, not just on an individual level, but on a corporate level as a local body of believers.

    (Show Video—Stethoscope) Last time, we looked to Paul’s prayer here and noted that he asks for God’s power to work in the lives of the Ephesian believers so that they might enter into Christ-likeness. We pointed out how Christ-likeness is something for us to enter into - to receive, rather than ...read more

    How can I, as a believer, walk in the victory that is my heritage in Christ?

    Two people, each claiming to be a Christian, lose their job. One falls into a severe depression; while the other retrains himself and enters an entirely new field of employment, discovering more fulfillment than he ever had in his old job. The difference? One followed God’s formula for victorious ...read more

  • "United Or Untied: Where Am I?” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Aug 5, 2009
     | 5,882 views

    Church unity requires our behaving in such a way as to not grieve the work of the Holy Spirit.

    In a church bulletin, a hurried secretary typed “the church was untied,” instead of, “the church was united.” What was out of place? The “I” was! In our passage for today, Paul tells us about unity in the church. As he does, he says that the unity of the church is a spiritual reality; but also a ...read more

     | 7,260 views

    If a church is to grow, it must have gifted leadership and a committed membership.

    It has been said that the same law which God has instituted in nature which declares that healthy living things will grow naturally, applies to the growth of the local church. Since the church is an organism, rather than an organization, if it can maintain its spiritual health and vitality, it will ...read more

    What are the biblical characteristics of a growing church?

    Last time, as we focused on verses 11 and 12, we made note of the two essentials of church growth - gifted leadership (v. 11) and committed membership (v. 12). A church will never rise higher than the skills of the leadership and will go no farther than the commitment of the membership. Gifted ...read more

    Are are the Biblical evidences that a church is growing as it should?

We have looked to verses 11 and 12, where he tells us the essentials of church growth - gifted leadership (v. 11) and committed membership (v. 12).

  • "Gain The Proper Perspective On Society” Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,793 views

    If we are to be fulfilled as God wants to bring us fulfillment, we must gain the proper perspective on our society and the world in which we live.

    The idea of peace dominates the Bible. There are four hundred references to peace in the Bible. It opens with peace in the Garden of Eden and closes with peace in the new heavens and new earth. In fact, a study of redemptive history could be made from the standpoint of peace. Man’s sin interrupted ...read more

  • "Gain The Proper Perspective On Suffering” Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,057 views

    If one is going to live according to the principles & promises laid out here by our Lord in the beatitudes, he will suffer rejection from the world. Yet, through it all, he can be doubly blessed.

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus describes the qualities found in the lives of those who are truly happy. Not in the temporary, circumstantial sense which the world talks about, but in the eternal, ultimate sense which the world knows nothing about. He tells us that true happiness comes when one gains the ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,381 views

    As Paul greets the Ephesians believers, he speaks of the connection that being molded by God’s will has to fulfilling our God-given mission.

    The book of Ephesians - carefully, reverently, and prayerfully considered - will change our lives. Perhaps no other book in the New Testament elaborates on the victory we have in Jesus so eloquently as does the book of Ephesians. It is not so much a question of what we will do with this book as we ...read more

    Paul shares about all the wonderful blessings that are ours because of the salvation we have in Christ.

    John W. Peterson, who wrote both the words and music for the hymn, “Heaven Came Down” says that he wrote it in the summer of 1961, when he was directing the singing one week at the Montrose Bible Conference in Montrose, Pennsylvania. During one of the sessions, an opportunity for personal testimony ...read more

    Where does one begin to travel down the road that leads to true happiness in this life and the next?

    As we began our consideration of the Beatitudes last time, we pointed out four general observations about our Savior’s teaching in Matthew 5:1-12. We said that the Beatitudes speak of God’s personal concern for us; that they declare nine positive facts, that they emphasize proper perspective in ...read more

  • "Gain The Proper Perspective On Sin” Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,136 views

    If a Christian is to experience to the full, the joy of their salvation, they must learn how to walk in the victory that have in Christ over sin.

    As we have looked at the Beatitudes, we have pointed out that the word translated “blessed” here literally means “happy.” The promises and principles laid out here by our Savior present us with a blueprint for experiencing true happiness in life - not the kind the world gives and can easily be ...read more
