Ephesians 4-1-7 (MP3 file for download) Open your Bibles please to Ephesians 4. We are going to be looking at verses 1-7 this morning. Today’s text is the beginning of the second half of this letter. What we have read so far has been primarily theological in nature, and we are moving now into practical instructions on how our theology is to make itself known in our lives as Christians. Let me begin by reminding us of this, your theology, or your beliefs about God will show up in your everyday life. At your core, the things that you believe about … Continue reading Ephesians 4:1-7 “Walk”

We are going to pick back up in out study of Ephesians today, so if you will turn to Ephesians 3:13, we are going to read through verse 21.

Ephesians 2:11-22 The Dividing Wall of Hostility

thisliminalstate

Ephesians 2-11-22 (audio file for download) FYI I diverted from my notes quite a bit on this message, so don’t try to figure out the notes as you listen. Last week we looked at Paul’s reminder to us that we who are in Christ were dead, we were children of wrath and we are made alive in Christ. Remember, in this letter to the Ephesians, Paul front loads it with theology. Before he gets to any instructions for the believers in Ephesus, and for us, he wants to make sure we are understanding who we are in Christ. Anything that we … Continue reading Ephesians 2:11-22 The Dividing Wall of Hostility

Ephesians 1-3-14 Who What When (audio file for download) Well, Last week, we began to study the book of Ephesians. This book is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Ephesus. He is corresponding with them from prison in Rome. We looked at the greeting last week, and how paul spends a lot of time addressing our identities as people. We looked at the importance of finding our identity in Christ and nothing else. If you recall, I mentioned that you are in Adam, or you are in Christ, and all the different things we can find … Continue reading Ephesians 1:3-14 “Who? What? When?”

So now that we have read it all and looked at a lot of the content, I would say that … Continue reading Nehemiah Recap

thisliminalstate

Palm Sunday 2013 (audio file) This week is another example where my notes are fairly minimal, but I filled things out much more in the sermon. So if things seem strange as you read, listen to the audio. It’s palm Sunday! do you know what that means? It means we wave branches of trees around right? We celebrate and sing songs that say words that we don’t understand, like hosanna! Who knows what that means? It means “Save Now” Well we have seen in the past few weeks that jesus in the last week or so of his life is really … Continue reading Luke 19:28-40 Palm Sunday 2013
