Ephesians 5:1-14 "Walk in Love" Pt. 1 (5/10/26)

Ephesians 6:14-23 "The Whole Armor of God" Part 2 (6/14/26)

Ephesians 6:14-23 describes the pieces of the armor of God and calls believers to prayer and steadfastness. Stand firm with the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith (to extinguish fiery darts), helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (the word of God). Pray continually in the Spirit, stay alert, and intercede for all the saints—especially that Paul would boldly proclaim the gospel. The chapter closes with Tychicus delivering news and a blessing of peace, love with faith, and grace to those who love the Lord.

Ephesians 6:10-13 "The Whole Armor of God" Part 1 (6/7/26)

Ephesians 6:10-13 urges believers to be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God. The passage explains that our real battle is not against flesh and blood (people), but against spiritual forces of evil—rulers, authorities, cosmic powers, and dark spiritual forces. Therefore, we must take up God’s full armor so we can stand firm against the devil’s schemes and withstand in the evil day.

Ephesians 5:25-33 “Godly Marriage” Part 2 (5/31/26)

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her—cleansing, nourishing, and cherishing her. Wives, respect your husbands. This profound mystery reveals that marriage is far more than a human union: it is a living picture of Christ’s sacrificial love for His bride, the Church. In these closing verses of our two-week series on Godly Marriage, Paul pulls everything together. A Christ-centered marriage isn’t built on cultural ideas of romance or equality, but on the gospel: husbands leading through self-giving love, wives responding with honor, and both reflecting the beautiful, unbreakable relationship between Christ and His people. When we live this way, our marriages display the glory of the gospel to a watching world.

Ephesians 5:22-24 “Godly Marriage” Part 1 (5/24/26)

Wives are called to submit to their own husbands as to the Lord. The husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church (his body, of which he is the Savior). Therefore, just as the church submits to Christ, wives should submit to their husbands in everything. This is part one in the two-week message.

Ephesians 5:15-21 "Walk in Love" Pt. 2 (5/17/26)

In Ephesians 5:15-21, Paul urges us to live wisely in evil days by making the most of every opportunity. Rather than being controlled by wine or the empty pleasures of this world, we’re commanded to be filled with the Spirit—speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in our hearts to the Lord, and giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of Jesus Christ. This Spirit-filled life overflows into joyful worship, constant gratitude, and humble submission to one another out of reverence for Christ.
