Romans 8:5-8

Romans 8:3-4 | One of the highest privileges and experiences of the gospel, is assurance. What the Law of God was unable to do, and what our flesh was unable to achieve, God has done for us through Jesus in our place and the Spirit in our lives. Now, we have a brand new walk. As John Bunyan writes, “To run and work the law commands, yet gives me neither feet or hands; But better news the gospel br...

Romans 8:1-2 | What if God really has given His people certainties, that make us invincible to every demonic accusation, every disappointing circumstance, & every despairing thought? What if our hearts could know real peace, even as we live in a world that is falling to pieces? For the believer, waking up every morning into Romans 8 reminds us we have a new verdict (no longer condemned!), a new lo...

Ephesians 6:1-4 | RELATIONSHIPS

Ephesians 5:22-33 | RELATIONSHIPS | Marriage was designed by God to be an image of the greatest love ever known - the love Jesus has for us, the church. This section of Ephesians calls husbands and wives to love one another by following the example of Christ; experiencing both great sacrifice and great joy in the process. Please note: This video from the 2018 Acts 29 Conference in Gold Coast, Aust...

Ephesians 5:15-21 | HOLINESS | We would all like to see ourselves change for the better -- but when we try, we quickly find that changing ourselves in any fundamental way is impossible. The Holy Spirit alone is capable of changing us, but this requires us to give everything we are over to Jesus. No area of your life will be improved by holding it back from Jesus… and no area of your life will be w...

Ephesians 5:1-14 | HOLINESS | When it comes to living a life set apart to God in the midst of our sin-fractured world, Paul has three things to say: remember your adoption into God's family, walk in love, and walk in the light.

Ephesians 4:25-32 | HOLINESS | In this section of Ephesians, Paul describes how conflict in the church can be handled in a loving and constructive manner, or how it can lead to devastation. What does it look like for your pride to be set aside when real offense and anger arises? How can we love one another even though we will inevitably sin against each other?

Ephesians 4:17-24 | HOLINESS | As Christians we are called to live a renewed and transformed life. Paul calls Christians to both: leave our dark-minded and deceived past, and to assume a new life of righteousness and holiness in God. This change is not something we accomplish by our own strength or determination, but through a renewing work of the Spirit that gradually conforms us to the image of...

Ephesians 4:11-16 | THE CHURCH | A healthy church is one with leaders who equip God’s people, with God’s Word, for God’s work. And in turn, God’s people together give themselves to outward-facing lives of ministry and service. A church growing in maturity is building itself up with every member’s gifts, deepening in sound doctrine, and speaking gospel-truths to one another that are laced with love...

Ephesians 4:1-10 | THE CHURCH | Self-importance, self-righteousness, and forcefulness have no place among the God’s people. A church that truly believes the soaring doctrines of grace, will be unmistakably marked by a culture of graciousness. Here, the Apostle Paul shows us that a healthy church is one where humility, gentleness, and patience with one another is normal; where unity in Christ is tr...

Ephesians 3:14-21 | THE CHURCH | The well-known prayer in this passage from Paul, shows us what authentic, theologically-robust, deeply experiential Christianity looks like. Paul prays that the Church would be strengthened with power, that we would know the immeasurable love of Christ, and that we’d be filled with all the fullness of God. Paul wants us to know that God’s capacity to give goes far...

Ephesians 3:1-13 | THE CHURCH | The grace of God is not merely the entry point into the Christian life; it is the limitless fuel of the Christian life! Every part of our lives now orbits around the incredible news of what Jesus has done for us. And when the Church has this message of God’s grace on repeat, she becomes a message of grace — a living sermon — for the entire world to see.

Ephesians 2:19-22 | THE CHURCH | To be a Christian means not only being saved from something (sin and hell), but into something. And that diverse, beautiful, often-messy, global people of God is called, ‘the Church.’ What is the Church? And what should the Church look like? Paul gives us three metaphors to help us understand this reality: (1) In Christ, we are fellow-citizens; (2) In Christ, we ar...

Ephesians 2:11-18 | SALVATION | We have all experienced the devastating effects of division and hostility that plague our world. But apart from Christ, an even larger division stands between us and God. The good news is that Jesus has abolished this wall of division, giving all who believe in him access to God. As Christians, we are called to display this peace and oneness that Jesus has made poss...

Ephesians 2:1-10 | SALVATION | We were dead, but God has made us alive. We all once walked the course of this world, but God has given us a new course. We all once lived in the passions of the flesh, but God has given us a new purpose. We were all once children of wrath, but God has made us his workmanship. Remembering all this should cause us all to rejoice in God’s amazing grace.

Ephesians 1:15-23 | SALVATION | After unpacking some of the richest truths in all of Scripture, Paul begins to pray that Holy Spirit would “open the eyes of our hearts” to more deeply grasp the grace of God and more deeply know the God of grace. As he does, we see that the prayers of Paul were marked by thanking God, asking God, and praising God.

Ephesians #3 - Our Already/Not Yet Inheritance Ephesians 1:11-14 | Throughout Scripture there are tensions. In Christ, our salvation is an ‘already’ reality with a fullness that is still yet to come. God is completely sovereign in salvation and we have a genuine responsibility in which we are called to repent, believe, pray, obey, and share the gospel with the entire world. These tensions were nev...

Ephesians 1:3-10 | SALVATION | In Ephesians 1, the Apostle Paul takes us on a figurative tour to the summit of Mt. Salvation. On the way, we learn that our situation is far worse than we realised, and that God’s sovereign grace is far greater than we could ever imagine. This glorious reality - that salvation is all of God - not only calls forth our rejoicing, but fuels our boldness on God’s missio...

Ephesians 1:1-2 | SALVATION | Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus has been described as “pound for pound, one of the most influential documents ever written.” The book of Ephesians covers many different practical topics and questions that are common to humanity, but can be summarised with three words: life in Christ. It is when we know who we truly are in Christ, that leads to knowing how to li...
