Ephesians 6:1-4, and then the parallel passage Colossians 3:18-21. Paul has been speaking to the husbands, he's been speaking to the wives, and now he speaks to the children. Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. Honor thy father and mother which is the first commandment with …
We're reading today from Ephesians 5 and I'm going to begin back with Ephesians 5:18-33 and read through the end of the chapter. In the past several years more books have been published on marriage than perhaps on many other subjects and yet here in a few brief sentences God tells us the secret of …
We turn in the Word of God to Ephesians 4:25-32. I'm going to read, beginning at verse 25, through verse 32. Paul is talking about putting on the new man, and now he tells us how to do it. Ephesians 4:25. Wherefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members one …
Our text for today is going to be only three verses, Ephesians 5:15-17, but in preparation for the study of those verses, I think we had better read the first 14 verses as well. Ephesians 5:1-17, Be ye therefore followers, imitators of God as dear children and walk in love, as Christ also hath …
We read from the Word of God in Ephesians 1, Paul's prayer for the Ephesian believers, beginning at Ephesians 15-23. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of …
Psalm 126. Psalm 126. The whole tone of this psalm is that of rejoicing. And you say, well, pastor, I don't have much to rejoice about today. I trust you will before we finish the ministry this morning. Psalm 126. When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then …
We are going to be doing a series of studies on the vocations of the Bible. Now, the Bible is a book for busy people, because the Bible is a book about busy people. The Bible has nothing good to say about laziness. It has nothing good to say about the careless, sleepy saint who snores his way …
There are two passages from the Word of God that we'd like to read for you this morning. The first is Ephesians 4:1-6 and the second is Psalm 133. First we turn to Ephesians 4 beginning at verse 1. I therefore the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the calling to which ye are …
Now, this encourages me, because throughout the Word of God, God is called the God of Jacob, and the God of Jacob is a shepherd. In fact, Jacob mentions this a little later on when he's just about to die, Genesis 49:24. But his bow abode in strength, talking about Joseph, and the arms of his hands …
Jeremiah 18:1-10 are very familiar verses, talking about the potter and the clay. One of our familiar hymns of dedication, Have Thine Own Way, Lord, is based on this passage. Jeremiah chapter 18, the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise and go down to the potter's house, and …
