Spiritual Refugees

October 28, 2017 • Pastor Jeff Beckett • Ephesians 2:11–14

Today’s passage is about refugees and walls and conflict. It turns out that every one of us stands on the wrong side of a wall of hostility before God without status or rights. Yet, Jesus did something amazing! To a world of selfish and violent people, He offered his life, His blood, to change our status. Now, in Christ, we are refugees no longer! We now have a home of our own! It is just not here.

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.
