    Contributed by Matthew Black on Jan 2, 2022
     | 2,968 views

    In praying for his Christian family in Ephesus, the apostle Paul ends up in a beautiful strain of exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Often praying for others can be what lifts our eyes to the glories and power of Jesus.

    What’s the greatest thing about your life? For the Christian, the best thing is that Christ has first place in your life. Our text here in Ephesians is a celebratory prayer for the full salvation of the believer. It’s all done by Christ and for Christ. When Christ is exalted in the life of the ...read more

    "Sharing Our Wealth"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 22, 2015
     | 2,671 views

    The apostle Paul had something to say about that in a letter he wrote to a young preacher named Timothy. He told Timothy that we should be content with what God has given us. Happiness. Contentment.

    "Sharing Our Wealth" Be content with what God has given you and share his blessings with others. Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-8 6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us ...read more

    In Ephesians 2:12-18, the Apostle Paul shows how believers are One in Christ through a 1) Peaceful Body (Ephesians 2:13–17) because of 2) Access to God (Ephesians 2:18).

    Ephesians 2:13-18 [13] But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

    After the dark and depressing days of crucifixion Friday and silent Saturday, came resurrection Sunday. The tomb was empty and Jesus appeared to Mary, Peter, two disciples, and to all the apostles. And they were all filled with joy and amazement.

    Even if the sun should disappear behind thick clouds so that we don’t see it for a while, the Apostle Paul tells us about another kind of Son light that shines on us and through us.

    Topic: Let the Son Shine in !! Scripture: Ephesians 5:8 Even if the temperatures don’t always reflect it, the position of the sun proves it. Spring is on its way! Yes, there may be lots of snow on the ground and the sidewalks covered with ice, but the sun keeps climbing higher and staying longer ...read more

    The story of Peter’s denial presents a sober and utterly real picture of the prominent apostle and offers a deep spiritual lesson about humility and the spiritual conflict. Jesus’ look frees the memory and sends grace to the heart.

    In verse 14 Paul speaks of his confidence in the Christians in Rome. Just as the apostle Paul was confident in them to do well, we should give others reason to have confidence in what we are doing as Christians.

    Backtrack To The Bible Series

    When dealing with perilous times brought on by a corrupt culture, the Apostle Paul knew the answer: it was to go back to godly living and the foundation of truth as found in the Word of God. This was his counsel to Timothy in II Timothy 3.

    Our culture has long been going in the wrong direction. We have made great progress in technology, but it has also been our undoing. Existentialism and Post-modernism have taught us to focus on ourselves and selfishly pursue our own desires despite the consequences. Instead of the church affecting ...read more
