In Deuteronomy 5, Moses goes over the ten commandments again with Israel, as a reminder. We often are in need of reminding, as believers in Christ. And although the law was given, not as a means of salvation, but as a schoolmaster, training us in righteousness and leading us to Christ, we still benefit greatly by remembering the commandments and holding them up to show us how we appear in the ligh...

In Ephesians 6:5-9, Paul addresses both Christian slaves (employees) and Christian masters (employers). As we look at our text we see two things: Duties for Employees and Duties for Employers.

As Pastor Ryan introduces the book of deuteronomy, we find that God often has to let our fleshly sin nature die off through trials and suffering, in order to bring new life about and lead us out of those desert years and into the land of Promise.

In Ephesians 6:1-4, Pastor Ryan addresses the parenting crisis that our world faces today. As we look at the scripture in this study, we see two things: Duties for Children, and Duties for Parents.

In Ephesians 5:22-33, Paul turns his attention to Marriage. As people who are followers of Jesus Christ, we should understand all of the Spiritual blessings that are ours, and understand who we are in Christ. This should be true not only of each person's life, but especially in our marriages.

In Ephesians 5:1-21, Paul takes things a step further by telling us we are to be imitators of God, as dear children. That is how we are to walk. A Christian, by definition, is a follower of Jesus. We are supposed to walk by FOLLOWING Jesus, not by blazing our own trail. It's much easier to get somewhere when we follow someone, rather than to try and figure it out on our own. In our text we will se...

In Ephesians 4:17-32, Paul reveals what we were; who we are; and how we respond. In our walk it is easy to get so hung up on who we were that we may fail to keep moving on to who we should become, because we fail to respond appropriately. As we study our text

In Ephesians 4:7-16, Paul gives us insight into how we can endeavor toward unity, by using the diversity of gifts that God has given to us. It is important to recognize that though we are unified, we are still diverse. God doesn't want uniformity, where everyone looks the same and acts the same, but unity, where different people come together in the love that is in Christ.

In Ephesians 4:1-6, Paul moves from theology, to practicality. As we study our text we see that we are called to respond to God in several areas. Our character, our relationship with the church, our relationship with others, should all be lived in a response to what Jesus has done for us.

In Ephesians 3:14-21, the Apostle Paul finishes up the first section of Ephesians, that speaks of the believers Spiritual Wealth. Our wealth comes from what Jesus has done for us. If we are unaware of the spiritual wealth at our disposal, we will miss out on investing that wealth back into the kingdom of God. It is not a wealth that is intended to be horded, or spent selfishly on ourselves, but it...

In Ephesians 3:1-13, the Apostle Paul speaks of the amazing Mystery that has been revealed to all through the Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit; namely, "that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel." Pastor Ryan describes what the heart of a true minister looks like: a servant.

In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul describes our reconciliation by taking a look at our past, our position, our peace, and our purpose. These four things must be in harmony in our walk in order to be effective.

In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul continues to discuss the wealth that we as believers have available to us in Christ. We have been given everything we need for life and godliness, because of what Jesus has done. The focus of scripture is what Jesus has done for you, not what you can do or have done for God. as we look at our text we'll see what sin does, what Jesus did, and what God is doing.

In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul prays for the Ephesians, that God would open the eyes of their heart, that they would see the blessings in Christ that Paul had detailed in verses 1-14, and put them into action. We demonstrate those blessings through love. As we look at out text we are going to see three things; the Backdrop to Pauls prayer, the Heart of Pauls Prayer, and the Key the Paul's Prayer.

In Ephesians 1:13-14, we see the Blessings that come from the Spirit, that are generally described in Ephesians 1:3. In our text we will see three blessings from the Spirit: He has Sealed us; He fulfills a promise, and he is our guarantee.

In Ephesians 1:7-12, we continue to look at the Spiritual wealth that originates from the Son. In our text we will notice 4 things: Jesus has redeemed us; Jesus has forgiven us; Jesus has revealed God's will to us; and finally, Jesus has given us of his inheritance.

In Ephesians 1:4-6, Paul begins describing our wealth as believers in Jesus Christ. We are spiritually wealthy beyond anything we can ever imagine, yet so often we failed to enter into all that God has for us. When we are living in that place, there is really very little to write home about. Alexander McClaren said this: "We may have as much of God as we will. Christ puts the key of the treasure c...

The book of Ephesians can be broken up into three very simple sections: Chapters 1-3 speak of our Wealth as believers; Chapter 4-6:1-9 speak of our Walk as believers; and chapter 6 verses 10 through 24 speak of our Warfare as believers. As we begin Ephesians, we will see four things: The author, the recepients, the greeting, and the message.
