His Calling, His Inheritance, His Power

Ephesians 1:15-23

April 21, 2019 • Pastor Paul Edwards

Give

As we have considered this prayer of the Apostle Paul in these verses, we are confronted with a dominant series of threes:

A Trinity of Christian Graces: Faith, Love, Hope

A Trinity of Spiritual Prerequisites: wisdom, revelation, light

A Trinity of Godly Insight: “that you may know” (v. 18):

the Hope of His Calling (Past),
the Glory of His Inheritance (Future),
and the Exceeding Greatness of His Power (Present).

Ephesians: The Closing Benediction

June 26, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

The Apostle ends his letter where he began: with grace and peace, but then adds "love with faith." With these four virtues, Paul summarizes what he has been saying in the entire letter.

Faithfulness in Obscurity

May 29, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

The success of any church is dependent in large measure on men and women who are content to serve the church and the Lord Jesus in obscurity. The Apostle Paul closes his letter to the Ephesians by introducing us to a man who is a model of such faithfulness: Tychicus.

"And Also for Me" (Part 2)

May 22, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

The Apostle Paul asks for the prayers of his people, not for his own sake, but so that the mystery of the gospel might be proclaimed. He asks for two things specifically: "utterance" and "boldness." What is this "utterance"? And what is this "boldness"? And why are they so critical to Paul's ability to preach the gospel?
