Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Jun 13, 2020

Paul is writing to these Ephesians and some say this that in this book he's condensing the book of Romans

Ephesians 1:1-14 The first message Let’s begin with an easy question? Who wrote most of the New Testament? Yes, the answer is Luke.

Spiritually Alive

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Feb 13, 2020

The key question to ask yourself is...do you want to be spiritually alive in Christ or spiritually dead in yourself?

Prayer- Introduction- One of my favorite books of the Bible is the Book of Ephesians. The reason is that the book of Ephesians lets us see how important we are to God. Chapter one tells us that as believers we are sealed with the approval of God and that the Holy Spirit of God wants to dwell ...read more

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Jan 2, 2021

What God has done for us and how we understand it. Then what do we do after we received Gods precious gift?

Ephesians Series - Part 2 - Chosen In Him! Series

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Dec 7, 2020

The blessing was according to the choosing!

Last time we noted that verse three begins what becomes a rather long sentence eulogizing God from verses 3 to 14 of Ephesians chapter one. In verse three Paul writes, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in ...read more

From Rags To Riches Series

Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Jun 10, 2019

Introduction: Everyone likes a “from rags to riches” story. If you are a child of God then this text is “your story”! Paul boldly declares our riches (richness) in Christ. Let’s go to the ATM (Almighty Treasure Mine) and find out what the balance is in our account.

The book of Ephesians is a goldmine full of great, grand and glorious truths. It has been called “The Queen of the Epistles”. “The Alps of the New Testament” and “The Third Heaven Epistle”. Curtis Vaughn says “It is considered by many people to be the greatest of Paul’s writings.” F.W. Farrar ...read more

God Chose You

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

Some of us might have trouble believing that the big, eternal God would ever even notice little old me. But Paul, right from the start of his letter to the Ephesians, emphasized that God had chosen them to be his.

This is our third Sunday now focusing on the book of Ephesians. At last we're getting around to starting at the beginning. We have already peaked at parts of chapter 2 and chapter 3 because of special themes for Epiphany and Human Relations Sunday. But now we get back to a more orderly ...read more

You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 1: God The Father

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

Too many Christians feel inadequate to be any use to God or their church. Paul reminds the Ephesian Christians of the resources they have going for them.

In any church you’ll find some members who sit on the sidelines, feeling like they don’t really belong on the team. They have heard a number of times that God loves them, but in their hearts, they wonder. They feel a little lonely at church, a little on the sidelines. And they’d like to get to ...read more

You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 2: The Trinity

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

It can be confusing to talk about serving one God who is 3 persons. We may think we can just ignore abstract ideas like that. But this part of the nature of our God is one of the richest blessings of being a Christian

Last week we started looking at the main body of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. He starts out with a very high falutin statement of the glory of God, listing first, blessings we have received through God the Father, then through God the Son, then through God the Holy Spirit. Starting out like ...read more
