Ephesians 6:21,24 -Sincere Love- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-07-05

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 6:21,24 with a defense of expository preaching and a call for men to lead faithfully while not quenching the zeal God raises in women when men fail. He identifies Tychicus as the messenger of love who brings Paul's letter, news, and comfort, and highlights the message of love as peace, faith, and reconciliation grounded in Scripture. The measure of love is described as sincere, tested, enduring, “without wax,” proven by trials and ultimately by the cross of Christ rather than worldly compromises. He urges us to be doers of the Word, to love God with all our heart, and to rely on Scripture and the Spirit to produce sacrificial, persevering love.

Ephesians 6:19,20 -An Open Door- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-06-28

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 6:19–20, using Paul’s prayer for an open door as a model for praying that God give us boldness to speak the gospel even while chained or persecuted. He draws sharp parallels between Paul’s trials and modern pressures: COVID church shutdowns, Bill C‑9 and Pastor Arthur Pawlowski’s legal battles, rising hate‑speech laws, biometric surveillance and the normalization of sexual immorality, that threaten Christian witness. Beaudry urges the church to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit, to pray for open mouths and open eyes, and to obey God rather than men rather than resort to worldly coping or pharmakia. Pointing to Paul as an “ambassador in bonds,” he challenges us to embrace suffering as testimony, seize God‑given opportunities to preach, and trust Christ to turn people from darkness to light.

Ephesians 6:18 -Dependence Upon God- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-06-21

Pastor Rick Beaudry, preaching from Ephesians 6:18, urges us to embrace total dependence on God through persistent, Spirit‑led prayer, unpacking six aspects: frequency, form, fellowship, fight, fervency, and family. Drawing on biblical examples (David, Daniel, Peter, Paul, and Jesus) and personal anecdotes, he emphasizes direct access to the Father through Christ, the necessity of praying without ceasing, and the power of intercessory prayer for saints and prodigals. He warns against trusting technology, wealth, or political fixes, calls us to confess and persevere, and frames prayer as our primary weapon in spiritual warfare. The message challenges us to prioritize continual communion with God, stand vigilant, and entrust outcomes to His sovereign will.

Ephesians 6:16,17 -Our Spiritual Armor- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-06-14

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 6:16–17, explaining the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit as the believer’s armor in a world of spiritual warfare. He urges us to persevere through trials, guard our minds with assurance of salvation, and wield Scripture as both defense and offense against deception. Drawing on biblical examples and contemporary concerns about cultural and political deception, he emphasizes prayer, Bible study, and church community as essential support for standing firm. The message closes with a call to vigilance, faithfulness, and reliance on Christ’s victory.

Ephesians 6:14,15 -Spiritual Armor- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-06-07

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 6:14–15, urging us to wear the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and boots shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace as spiritual armor. He warns of intense deception in the last days - media manipulation, contested narratives about 9/11 and COVID, pharmaceutical and globalist influences, and the church’s drift into compromise - and urges us to test and prove all things. Calling for repentance, vigilance, and bold exposure of falsehood, he exhorts us to reclaim authentic faith so we won’t be neutralized by the enemy. He closes with a practical charge to stay ready, keep the faith, and be boots-on-the-ground evangelists who persevere in the fight.
