The Change Agent

Ephesians 4:20-21

July 12, 2020 • Pastor Paul Edwards

In Ephesians 4:17-24 the Apostle Paul contrasts the spiritual condition and lifestyle of the unbeliever (vv. 17-19) with the spiritual condition and lifestyle of the believer (vv. 22-24).

But the difference is not one of mere outward morality. There is an internal spiritual change that has taken place which is responsible for the stark contrast between the believer and the unbeliever.

What is the agent God uses to bring about this change? The Apostle identifies it for us in vv. 20-21 and this the subject of today's message.

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?
