  • Ephesians 4:17-19

    Before we begin this weekend, I need to share a brief note about our study. My family has a big family weekend with two graduates. Our study will resume on Monday. Ephesians 4:17-19 Now that Paul has established that we are all a part of building up Christ’s church just as each part of our…

  • Ephesians 4:16

    Oh… this chapter just keeps getting better and better! We are looking at just one verse today: Ephesians 4:16. KJV: “16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying…

  • Ephesians 4:14-15

    Yesterday, we learned of our amazing assignment in Jesus Christ. Yes, even those of us who are home-bound have an assignment. Today, we see how important our assignment is in the body of Christ, the church, as we look at Ephesians 4:14-15. KJV: “14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and…

  • Ephesians 4:11-13

    What would you do if Jesus Himself gave you an assignment as well as everything you needed to do the assignment? Ephesians 4:11-13 KJV: “11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying…

  • Ephesians 4:8-10

    Today’s passage is one that actually has controversy in it. There are several different views that scholars take. Here is the passage in the KJV. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first…

  • Ephesians 4:7

    Ephesians 4:7 Today in our walk through Ephesians, we learn of God’s amazing gift of grace to each one of us. I originally meant to cover a few more verses today. However, this verse stopped me. Read verse 7 again. Did you catch that? God’s grace comes to each one of us according to the…

  • Ephesians 4:4-6

    One. Only One. Ephesians 4:1-3 told of our calling in Christ and how to walk worthy. Now, Paul returns to the unity of one. We are all one in Christ. Ephesians 4:4-6, KJV 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith,…

  • Ephesians 4:3

    In our walk through Ephesians, we have now reached the practical advice in chapters 4-6. Ephesians 4:2-3. We looked at verse 2 yesterday and learned about lowliness, meekness, longsuffering, and forbearance with one another. This is a tall order and only accomplished through Christ. Today, we see that we do have a choice or a…

  • Ephesians 4:2-3

    “Walk worthy of the vocation…” Because of everything Paul tells us in chapters 1-3, we are to walk worthy of our calling in Christ, the calling of adoption and unity. “Wait!” you say. What is that? You don’t feel you have a calling, a vocation as you are chronically ill, disabled, home-bound? You know others…
