Walk in Submission - Part 1

Rooted in Christ

July 7, 2024 • Ben Gibson • Ephesians 5:21–24

Give

When we come to verse 21, we are introduced to the concept of submission. Last week we called this humility, not to be clever, but because we are surrendering our “me first” attitude. We are surrendering the "I gotta get mine” outlook of life. We put those attitudes away as part of our former manner of life. In their place we put on submission, which put plainly, is when we put our needs, expectations and wants under the needs of others. According to Ephesians 5:21 - 6:9, this relates to every relationship in the home: wives & husbands, parents & children.

Join us today as we talk about the importance of walking in submission in each of these areas, beginning with part 1 concerning wives. Because they are in Christ, and according to God’s design, wives are called to willingly place themselves under their husbands.

Walking in Victory - Part 3

September 22, 2024 • Ben Gibson • Ephesians 6:18–24

We are finishing 3 things this Sunday: our conversation about spiritual warfare, chapter 6, and our study through Ephesians. We need to revisit the role of prayer in the on-going struggle against evil. We have been clothed with Christ’s armor. We have been given His weapons to use. Prayer, if you recall, is our plan of attack. It is our strategy against the schemes of the devil. There are battles we must win on our knees so to speak. That makes this humble act is a priority. Join us this today for the third installment of Walking in Victory from Ephesians 6:18 - 24, and 2 parting truths about the role of prayer in spiritual warfare.

Walking in Victory - Part 2

September 15, 2024 • Ben Gibson • Ephesians 6:13–20

Christ has promised to build His church. But it will not be built without conflict. We have an enemy. His plans are sophisticated. His weapons assault our trust in God and His Word, and his aim is our complete destruction. We are at war with this enemy. It is a spiritual hand to hand combat as God reclaims hearts and homes, and society is reformed by the gospel. If we are going to stand our ground in this war, holding every critical position the church wins, we need to be prepared. We must humbly avail ourselves of our Lord’s promised strength and the protection. Join us this today for the second installment of Walking in Victory from Ephesians 6:13 - 20.

Walking in Victory

September 1, 2024 • Ben Gibson • Ephesians 6:10–12

Christ has promised to build His church. The gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). But we shouldn't expect that to be easy. We need to get comfortable with the reality that church will not be built without conflict. Consider what we have learned over the last few weeks. Homes will not be reclaimed and society will not be reformed without conflict. There are many victories in our walk with Christ that will be won through our struggle against evil. Our text in Ephesians 6:1 - 12 will help us walk in victory as we avail ourselves of the Lord’s strength and the protection He provides.
