Ephesians Q&A | Week 3

Armor of God

“Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” In Ephesians 6:10–17, Paul reminds us that the challenges we face in college—temptation, anxiety, comparison, doubt, and discouragement—are part of a deeper spiritual battle. This message walks through the armor of God, calling students to stand firm by fastening the belt of truth, putting on the breastplate of righteousness, taking up the shield of faith, and holding fast to the Word of God. Rather than fighting in our own strength, we are invited to rely on God’s power and to live with confidence, courage, and faithfulness as followers of Jesus.

Mutual Submission

In a culture full of mixed messages about love, power, and relationships, what does it actually look like to follow Jesus with our relationships? Ephesians 5:21–32 challenges students to rethink dating, marriage, and community through the lens of mutual submission and self-giving love. This message explores how Christ’s sacrificial love reshapes the way we treat one another and why the Gospel calls us not to grasp for control, but to love like Jesus loves.

A Life Worthy of the Gospel

What if your life was put on the scale next to the gospel—would it measure up? This message begins with the disappointment of meeting a Christian hero whose life didn’t match his words, then turns to Paul’s challenge in Ephesians 4 to “live a life worthy of your calling.” Using the image of an ancient scale, students are invited to honestly examine where their faith and their everyday lives don’t line up—how they treat roommates, what their weekends look like, what fills their minds and search histories, and how they see themselves. But this isn’t about shame or trying harder. Because of the cross, grace meets us where we fall short and empowers us to pursue a life that reflects the weight, beauty, and hope of the gospel.
