6. The Helmet Of Salvation Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

The ultimate protection to carry us through the dangers of this world and the next is to experience God's salvation.

7, The Sword Of The Spirit, Which Is The Word Of God Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

If a Roman soldier went into battle and forgot to bring his sword, he would be in real trouble. We are equally foolish if we try to live in the battleground of our world without a solid grasp of God's word, the Bible.

Paul And Ephesus

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

We hear Paul's letter to the Ephesians like we might overhear someone talking on the phone. We get only half of the conversation. If we are going to understand Paul's teaching we need to learn as much as possible about the circumstances of his readers.

Years ago there was a farmer from a very small village in Germany who was just itching to get out and see something of the world. His big chance came when his nephew got a job on a barge that would sail up the Rhine River to Rotterdam. Even if it only stayed there for one day to drop off one ...read more

God Chose You

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

The Christian faith focuses on what God did long ago and will do in the future. But an experience of the Holy Spirit is a taste of what God means to us here and now, deep in our hearts.

Today we’ll finish up with the first chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Because of holidays and our communion schedule we haven’t done the chapter in order. Some weeks ago we started looking at the trinitarian opening of the letter, with Paul’s introduction of God the Father, God the Son, ...read more
