Ephesians 5:18-21 “In Christ You Are Spirit-Filled”

Every human has a desire to fill the void in their life created by our separation from God. Some try vainly to fill that void apart from God. Others look to God, but all still struggle with the flesh and the temptation to satisfy the longing for wholeness outside of God. The hope is discovering the Spirit-filled life, and today we learn how.

Ephesians 6:18-24

What is prayer? Prayer is intimate communication with God, and a means to draw close to God. Prayer expresses adoration, praise, and intercedes on behalf of self and others. It is hearing God speak and responding with faith and obedience. It is an expression of your desire to see God’s will done on earth as it is in heaven (Mt. 6:10). Prayer is worship, because through prayer we acknowledge God and our dependence upon Him.

Ephesians 6:10-17

July 14, 2024 • Mark Chua • Ephesians 6:10–17

When we think about what it means to be a follower of Christ, a multitude of interpretations can come to mind. We can think about serving the Lord, Loving Him supremely and loving our neighbors. We might think about sharing the Gospel and making disciples. We may think about caring for our families- our spouses and our children. What often escapes our thoughts is the Truth that all of this is happening in the context of a spiritual battle. The reality is that the Devil opposes every good work that the Lord has called His people to participate in. However, rather than be tempted to fear, anxiety and despair, by looking to Jesus, we find that the Lord in Christ has given us both the power and means of grace necessary to enter into this spiritual fight. As His followers, by being aware of this spiritual battle and equipped with the armor of God, we can experience victory.

Ephesians 6:5-9

July 7, 2024 • Bruce Zachary • Ephesians 6:5–9

Most of us will spend more time in connection with work or school than any other environment, or group of people. Prior to the fall in the Garden, God had given man work to do in the Garden and declared that it was good (Gen. 2:15). After the fall (Gen. 3), work became more difficult and burdensome, but can still be rewarding (emotionally, spiritually, physically, and financially). And work can be redemptive as Christ is reflected in your work. Let’s consider God’s plan for work, how to reflect Jesus in your work, and how to experience contentment in work.
