Sermons

How does marriage fit into the big picture of Ephesians? Why does Paul bring up this subject where he does in the context of the book?

When Paul instructs the Ephesian church to be filled with the Spirit, what exactly does that mean?

As we get to the end of Ephesians 4, Paul teaches the church how to display the oneness and holiness that we have in Christ.

What do we do when reality doesn't meet our expectations? How does God help us when we need a reality check?

From Haggai 1 Pastor Saunders helped us to see the dangers of spiritual apathy and showed us how Haggai teaches that God's glory is a greater pursuit than our own comfort.

Paul again tells us who we were outside of Christ to remind us just how much grace God has shown us. Then he tells us how to walk in that grace in Christ; emphasizing that our new life is according to the Gospel we heard, not by our own efforts.

In Ephesians 4:7-16, Paul shifts from a discussion on the unity of the church to the diversity of the church within that unity. What makes a church diverse? How does a church stay unified when there are differences amongst members?

**Pardon the technical glitch, we lost audio for the first several minutes of this sermon** In this message from Pastor Dustin Rudolph, we take heed of Paul's counsel to walk in a way worthy of our calling. What is our calling? What does it look like to walk this way? Is this something we are even capable of?

In this elevated prayer for the church, Paul exalts in who the church is and prays that she would better know it. Pastor Dustin makes the argument that this should be our church's prayer as well.

What does it mean when Jesus tells the woman at the well, that we will worship in Spirit and truth? Christian Vincze opens up John 4 and helps the church to better understand this passage.

Why is the incarnation of the Son so important to the Christian Faith? What happens if we give up this doctrine? Must I believe that God became Man in order to be saved?

The Nicene Creed affirms that Christ is the "only begotten Son" of the Father. What does this mean? Where do we find this in the scriptures? Is it really that important anyway?

Paul comforts the Ephesian church even in his own affliction. What motivates him to joy in the midst of suffering?

God's judgment on Ninevah in the book of Nahum is a foreshadowing of God's judgment on Satan.

God created the church in Christ in order accomplish his purposes in the world.

In Ephesians 2:11-18 Paul expands on the teaching that the church is the new creation in Christ, the workmanship of God.

Because of our depravity (Ephesians 2:1-3) we have no hope for salvation by our own means. But God has saved us by His grace. In this study we examine what exactly conversion is and how God has done the work of converting us from death to life.

Paul sets out to tell us why God's work on our behalf is necessary. Why do we need Jesus? Why do we need salvation? Aren't human beings basically good?

When God pours out his wrath on Nineveh we learn that God is to be feared. But is it right that Christians should fear the Lord? What does it mean to trust in Christ and fear the Lord?

When Paul says that God's power is toward us (the church), what does that mean? And how is the church the fullness of Christ? These two questions broaden our understanding of just how important the church is in God's plan of redemption.

When God promises to avenge those who hate his people it is a comfort to his people. God is just.

After exulting in the blessings that God has given the church, Paul prays that we would be able to see and comprehend those blessings, so that we may be able to live the Christian life.
