Baptist Expositor

Exposition of the 7th and arguably most important weapon in the Christian's armour is the weapon of "all prayer". Without prayer, the Christian soldier will be virtually powerless in the face of the Satanic forces of hell.

Exposition of the next three pieces of armour in the Christian's arsenal against the devil - the shield of faith, helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit.

In our last lesson, we considered the Apostle's exhortation to put on the whole armour of God in order that we might stand in the spiritual battle we find ourselves in. We were also introduced to the fearful enemy we face. The Apostle now proceeds to give us a piece-by-piece description of the armour we have been provided for the battle. God has given us 7 powerful weapons to use in spiritual warf...

In this expository sermon on Ephesians 5:22–24, the preacher begins Paul's teaching on the role of the Spirit-filled wife. Having shown that the Spirit-filled life produces harmony in God's house (Eph. 5:19–21), Paul now applies this truth to the Christian home.

Colossians 3:16), the preacher continues Paul's teaching on the Spirit-filled life by examining the remaining fruits of the Spirit's filling in God's house.

In this expository sermon on Ephesians 5:15–18, the preacher expounds Paul's practical exhortations concerning the believer's Christian walk. In these verses, Paul calls believers to walk in wisdom. This involves being circumspect, redeeming the time, and being sober and Spirit-filled.

This is also a practical outworking of the command to be "followers of God" (Vs. 1). The word 'light' appears 5 times in these verses. Light is a part of God's very character so it makes sense that as His children we would walk in the light.

This section (Vs. 25-32): The Apostle Paul now practically applies the "put off" and "put on" principle he has just discussed (Vs. 22-24) to the everyday lives of the believers. Some wrongly conclude that the Christian life is all about doctrine/theory and fails to impact one's daily life. This couldn't be further from the truth!

The Apostle Paul exhorts the believers concerning another major facet of their walk. In the first part of the chapter the exhortation was to "walk worthy" (Vs. 1). This second section really continues that general theme with a strong emphasis on the need to walk distinctly.

Christianity is not a religion. Religion can change outward behaviour, but only Christ can transform the heart. Through Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, we learn that every person—no matter how moral or religious—must be born again to enter God's kingdom. The new birth is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, received not by works, baptism, or religious rituals, but by faith alo...

Robertson comments, "Nowhere does Paul sound such depths of spiritual emotion or rise to such heights of spiritual passion...
