Waukesha Bible Church

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Secondary Read – Matt. 8:23-9:8; 1 John 4:1-6 As believers, we are in Christ and fight against spiritual forces of evil. Knowing who you are and what evil is enables the believer to stand against the schemes of the devil. Today’s study consists of three ideas that will educate and prepare us as we wrestle against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly plac...

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths God created and controls the things in heaven and those on the earth. Both realms are real and, on occasion, interact. Knowing this enables the believer to rest in Christ.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The radical nature of Spirit filling re-imagined the home and family into something previously unthinkable.    

Speaker: Connor Shady Christ is our only hope amidst a hopeless world!

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The radical nature of Spirit filling re-imagined the home and family into something previously unthinkable. And today, as in any era, we must allow the gospel to transform ourselves and our families.  

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The Jesus Seed always and inevitably produces the gospel fruit of love, light, and diligence.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The “tree” of God produces Christ-like fruit.  The one is a natural consequence and by-product of the other.  The people of God are holy because He is holy.

Speaker: Mike Davis In Chapter 4, Paul speaks to the implications of the Gospel in the horizontal, addressing unity, maturity, righteousness and holiness.  But Christ did not leave His people on their own to make their way as best they can.  No, he enables and empowers His people (The Church) with gifts to facilitate growth and Christlikeness.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Ephesians 4 is divided into three sections, each addressing different aspects of Christian living and unity within the body of believers. In verses 1-6, our passage for today, there is the call to unity. Over the next two weeks we will focus on the means to unity (vv. 7-16) and the practice of unity (vv. 17-32).

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths Paul has gone to great lengths in Ephesians 1-3 to show how the work of Jesus so thoroughly deals with sin’s divisiveness that there is in Him neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, slave nor master, but all are equally acceptable and equally accessible to the Father.  If this is true, then why is the church such a divided mess? And why do we find it so hard...

Speaker: Connor Shady Ephesians 3:14-21 unveils Paul’s beautiful and pastoral prayer, drawing upon the boundless love and power of God to transform the hearts and lives of believers. We are to live from our identity as loved.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner The gospel is for the nations – and that’s always been the plan.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The believer’s reconciliation in Christ produces unity among the various members of the one body, the one citizenship, the one household, and the one Temple. Because we are inundated with all forms of godless unity, we can barely manage and appreciate the unity we do have in Christ. This passage isn’t telling us the unbelieving world has been reconciled to God....

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The believer’s redemption is a work of grace through faith.  His condition solicited such a response by God, without which salvation is impossible.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner A prayer for the church to understand her union with Jesus – who we are and what we possess.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths God chose us to be in his Son so that we would become part of his forever family. Such actions on his part should humble us and cause us to respond with gratitude and worship.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The overarching theme in Ephesians is God, through the work of Jesus, reconciling all things unto Himself (1:10). That work of reconciliation by Jesus is a work of grace resulting in us being united to Christ. And it is this union with Christ that enables the believing to receive all spiritual blessings.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths As it once was, it shall again be . All of Creation shall once again bow under the dominion and headship of Jesus. Having received all authority from the Father (Matt. 28:18-20), Jesus, as the second Adam, shall have dominion over all of creation (Gen. 1:26).

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths The A.I.M. (Author’s Intended Meaning) of this lesson is to introduce the reader to the book of Ephesians by looking at the city of Ephesus in its first century setting.

Speaker: Pastor Patrick J Griffiths By seeing the Book of Ephesians as a New Testament Letter, our understanding of the Letter will be increased.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner The resurrection of Jesus assures us that his victory is our victory – both in this life and the life to come.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner When Jesus died on the cross, the veil in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. Unlike the Old Covenant when access to God was highly regulated and limited, now under the New Covenant access is granted.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner Our conquering King rides into Jerusalem pronouncing the victory he is on the verge of securing.

Speaker: Pastor Giles Litzner A confident expectation for God to work in and through his children for his glory.

Speaker: Mike Davis The author of Hebrews has been making an argument that Jesus is better than the Old Covenant.  The Law, the prophets, the old covenant, all of this was pointing to how God would fulfill His promises in Jesus Christ.  By Faith, we are inheritors of a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.  Given all of this, Chapter 12 concludes with a call for “acceptable worship”.
