    Christians must know the basis of their acceptance before God if they are to successfully defeat Satan and his tactic of accusation. In this vision, we are given a beautiful picture of the grace of God removing our filthy garments of sin and clothing us with his Robe of Righteousness.

    Today we will begin examining Zechariah’s fourth vision recorded in chapter 3. The vision can be divided into two-parts: I. Verses 1-5 is a revelation of God’s way of qualifying his people for relationship with him and for service to him. II. Verses 7-10 contains an admonition to faithfulness ...read more

    There are two ways people think saints are made. Some believe sainthood is achieved while others see sainthood as received.

    Happy New Year to you! Thank God 2020 is behind us. If you were given just one word to describe the year 2020, what would you choose? A recent survey asked just this and found the #1 word chosen to describe this previous year was “awful, terrible, or horrible.” I wonder what word you would use. ...read more

    From Rags To Riches Series

    Introduction: Everyone likes a “from rags to riches” story. If you are a child of God then this text is “your story”! Paul boldly declares our riches (richness) in Christ. Let’s go to the ATM (Almighty Treasure Mine) and find out what the balance is in our account.

    The book of Ephesians is a goldmine full of great, grand and glorious truths. It has been called “The Queen of the Epistles”. “The Alps of the New Testament” and “The Third Heaven Epistle”. Curtis Vaughn says “It is considered by many people to be the greatest of Paul’s writings.” F.W. Farrar ...read more

    When I first studied through the book of Ephesians there was one out of the many sections that intrigued me…one section that amazed me. It was found in chapter three.

    Paul's Authority

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Feb 2, 2021
     | 1,188 views

    This sermon was the first one of a series on the book of Ephesians. It unpacks the first two verses. Specifically Paul's authority to write the letter, and the value of the specific recipients of the letter (i.e., who Paul would refer to as "Saints)."

    Good morning. We are beginning a new series on the book of Ephesians called The Church in Christ and the Church in Culture. In case you are not familiar with the book of Ephesians, it is actually a letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the church that he founded in the ancient city of Ephesus. ...read more

    In his salutation, Paul presents the dual resources of Grace & Peace through 1) The dual source of his apostolic authority (Eph.1:1a), 2) A dual description of believers (Eph.1:1b), 3) A dual blessing for believers (Ephesians 1:2a), and 4) The dual source of those blessings (Eph. 1:2b).

    The first chapter of Ephesians is dedicated to telling the Christians there how pretty they are to God. Why would Paul spend all that ink and paper on this topic? And what can that mean to us?

    I read once about a nursing home worker who would go from room to room taking care of the needs of the residents. On day she was in the room of one of the residents when the woman looked up at her and said “My but you’re pretty!” The attendant blushed. She was “plump” and “overweight and wasn’t ...read more

Paul wrote the most books but Luke actually wrote more words when he wrote the books of Luke and Acts. Now, this book of Ephesians begins like the rest of Paul’s ...read more

    A Greeting Of Grace

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 26, 2021
     | 1,227 views

    The major theme of Ephesians is Reconciliation achieved through God’s Redemptive plan. Relying on one’s prior accomplishments would not provide reconciliation or redemption. Paul knew Ephesus was a clear representation of the dreadful condition of sinful humanity.

    A Greeting of Grace Ephesians 1: 1-2 Today I want to begin a series of messages that will lead us through the first chapter of Paul’s epistle to the Ephesian church. While the letter to the Roman believers is considered Paul’s “magnum opus,” Ephesians has been referred to as the “Queen of the ...read more
