God has spoken, He has made sure that His Word was written for us. The power of His Word is authoritative, sufficient, and actively developing the image of His Son Jesus Christ in us.
We have been called to pray. In prayer we become co-worker with the King of Kings. What a privilege to work with God by prayer, supernatural prayer!
We as individuals are called to the Body of Christ as a team, though many people, we are one in Christ, working together in unity. As we are obedient to the voice of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God we can hasten the return of the Lord (2 Peter 11:12, Revelation 22:20, Matthew 6:10)
Let’s talk about death, death for a believer is very different from the death of an unbeliever.
We will all stand before the Lord Jesus and give an account of what we did with the salvation we were given. Have we built on the foundation of Jesus Christ will obedience and costly devotion or are we luke warm?
God is good, no doubt! But many people stand condemned to hell and have not received the salvation that has been provided in Jesus Christ. It is our privilege and responsibility to believe, life the Christian life and tell people about this Good News.
Faith, Hope and Love all come from God and will be with us forever. Let’s talk about faith, what is it and were do we get it from.
We finish the letter to the Ephesians with an understanding of the Armor of God.
Today we talk about the needs of children and the importance of raising them in the Lord.
This is not about who we are in Christ, our capabilities, our intelligence or any other attributes. It's about God's structure of the family.
We have to decide, will I follow the example of Jesus' lifestyle.
After teaching us about the blessings and privileges we have in Christ, Paul helps us put off the old way of life and put on the new way.
With the background of all the wonderful blessings described in the first 3 chapters of the Letter to the Ephesians we get some direction on how to live a life worthy of the calling we have received in Christ.
The Bible is so rich helping us to get a better understanding of who God is and the richness of his blessings. Let’s talk about supernatural prayer and its benefits.
We now have peace with God in Christ and are His children, His people, blessed with all blessings in Christ. Christ is the foundation of our faith! How are we building on this foundation?
God has revealed the mystery of the Gospel to us via revelation knowledge! He saves a violent blasphemer to become one of the greatest apostles to bring us the knowledge of the riches of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If God can do this with Paul the Apostle, just think what He is capable to you in your life — anything!
Chapter 2 is again loaded with revelation of who we are in Christ. But, it also describes the emptiness and desperate need of the unbeliever. I encourage you to be bold in you preaching of the Gospel to a lost world.
I’m starting a new series of podcasts. I’ll be going through the Letter to the Ephesians. Paul visited Ephesus on his second missionary journey and brought the Gospel of Jesus Christ to that city and the region. Now from prison he is writing to the believers the glories of God’s rich grace and provision.
