In today’s passage, Paul describes for the Ephesian believers a dramatic transformation he longs to see lived out in their lives. In Christ, in your true self, you are now going through a metamorphosis at a level deeper than even your DNA. You have been “born again,” born from above, and are becoming like Jesus. If not, something is very wrong.

Spiritual Warfare, Part 2
March 17, 2018 • Pastor Jeff Beckett • Ephesians 6:13–24
Today we finish our long journey through the Gospel movement in Ephesus and the subsequent letter Paul wrote to the church he once pastored there. As Paul finishes his amazing letter, he gives a beautiful and detailed description of exactly how we can go about becoming a fierce and dominating spiritual warrior, a warrior who cannot be bested by anything the enemy throws at us.
Spiritual Warfare, Part 1
March 10, 2018 • Pastor Jeff Beckett • Ephesians 6:10–12
War is horrible. It destroys. Of course, it is also true that war can rescue and redeem. Spiritual warfare is particularly painful, because most of the battles are not fought on a field somewhere far away. If you dare to live for Jesus, it will be a war fought on a daily basis. On the other hand, it is a battle, the outcome of which is already determined in Christ!
Making the Marketplace My Mission Field
March 3, 2018 • Pastor Jeff Beckett • Ephesians 6:5–9
Paul has been filling us with practical wisdom on how to be "one body in Christ" as we live out faith in all the unique relationships we have, and today is no different. Today we talk about the marketplace, and how we treat those around us where we work, play, live and go to school. Paul has a transformational idea. Do everything you do as if you were doing it directly for the Lord! If you do this, you can't go wrong.
