Stand Firm in the Real Battle
Ephesians 6:10–24. Your very identity in Jesus Christ is your answer to fighting well against Satan.

No Ordinary People
Ephesians 3:14–21. Paul’s prayer in these verses reminds us that we are to excavate God’s love and reach down to the deep foundations of Christ in our life to the Savior’s strong whisper: “You are loved.” Because the one He empowers, is the one He indwells, and the one He indwells feels the unending layers of His love. We must never forget it. We are no ordinary people. And by God’s grace we are becoming less and less ordinary.
God's Mystery of Gentile Inclusion: Commissioned
Ephesians 3:7–13. Even though Paul is going to talk largely about his commission in Ephesians 3:7–13, it is the revelation of the gospel of Jesus Christ that drives Paul and the grace that Paul considers that gospel to be that permeates everything he says in this section. And, it has implications for you and me as those who today love and treasure the same revelation Paul is proclaiming here today.
God's Mystery of Gentile Inclusion: Revealed
Ephesians 3:1–6. Revelation requires a response. We have noted throughout Ephesians 1–2 how revelation requires a response for those hearing the message. It has been easy to preach those weeks because each week came with an easy gospel call to accept Jesus. But knowing this revelation also requires a response from you after you have accepted it. Knowing and accepting the plan of God, for Paul, means that he must steward it in Ephesians 3:1–6. And that applies to you and me as well.
One New Man: God's Temple
Ephesians 2:19–22. In our passage today, we will see who we are not, who we are, and how we fit. God, in his love and kindness toward us, brought us in. We were outsiders, strangers and aliens, but he made us fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God through the finished work of Jesus. And because his Spirit is now in us, we are his temple, and he’s using us as living stones to build a holy temple for his glory.
One New Man: Christ-made Peace
Ephesians 2:14–18. Last week we heard from Ryan Eagy on the topic, "One New Man: Separated", and this week, we are going to see that Jesus is our peace. Specifically, we are going to see he creates peace between Jews and Gentiles (and then by extension the whole world). And he creates peace between people and God.
One New Man: Separated
Ephesians 2:11–13. Today we will be looking at the topic, “One New Man: Separated”. My task this morning is to remind you of this first part of Paul’s argument in Ephesians 2:11–22—your separateness. You should feel a longing at the end of this section to move on and be united in Jesus Christ, but you should also marvel at the grace of God that not only changed you, but moved you into a position of relationship with him and with his people.
The Dead Alive by Grace: A Beautiful Workmanship
Ephesians 2:8–10. For the last few weeks, we've been looking at the idea of "The Dead Alive by Grace", and today Ryan Eagy will conclude with thoughts on how we are called to a life as “A Beautiful Workmanship" from Ephesians 2:8–10 by grace through faith in Jesus Christ..
The Dead Alive by Grace: Mercy Interrupting
Ephesians 2:4–7. When we consider all the gospel has done, we conclude this gospel has very few limits! I want to spend this morning not restraining this gospel, but releasing it. As believers we are bankrupt by Ephesians 2:1–3, but we are blessed beyond belief by Ephesians 2:4. The bad news, the bleak news, the sobering news of verses 1–3 is the backdrop for the beautiful beyond belief news of verse 4.
The Dead Alive By Grace: Total Depravity
Ephesians 2:1–3 | Before you knew God, you had no desire for God, you followed everything but God, and you deserved the wrath of God. Often theologians use the term total depravity to state this all-encompassing brokenness. And though the extent of our sin is not good news, we see that it paves the way for good news. We can have hope because God has overcome our total depravity in his Son.
Necessary Revelation
Ephesians 1:15–23. What do you do when things are going well? It can seem like we get stuck in church discussions and sermons that are focused on how things aren’t going well. But, again, what do you do when things are going well? How do you celebrate and acknowledge what is going well and good in your life? What we find in our passage today is that Paul is writing to a people he believes already know the joy of salvation. Things are going well with them (spiritually speaking) because they know, love, and put their faith in Jesus Christ. And what does Paul do? In his joy at their good situation he 1) praises God and 2) points them back to the wonderful revelation of God in Jesus Christ.
