Loving and Respecting Marriages
Marriage is a divine institution established by God, and it is intended to be a source of joy, intimacy, and fulfillment. Yet, in today’s world, many marriages face challenges and struggles that can strain the relationship between spouses. In this sermon, we will explore God’s plan for a thriving marriage, based on the powerful principle of love and respect. Sermon Text: Ephesians 5:33 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Gospel Preachers, Gospel Clients
As Christians, witnessing to others isn’t like how celebrites get paid millions of dollars to endorse a product for a company. We’re recipients of the same grace we’re sharing with people. So, when you’re struggling to find the motivation and courage to share Jesus with the people around you, remember this: you’re not just a Gospel preacher, you’re a Gospel client. The good news of forgiveness and freedom that you’re sharing is just as much for you as for the…
God’s Call to Fathers
Fathers often feel ill-equipped to lead their households, struggling with the burdens they feel to provide for their families. However, like mothers, fathers play unique and important roles in their families. God has called fathers to train and instruct their children to fear the Lord and share Him with their world. Sermon text: Ephesians 6:4
God’s Call to Employers
Being in a position of power and responsibility is a heavy burden to bear for those who employ others, and it can be tempting to use this power over others for our own benefit. Employers should use God’s wisdom in making decisions that impact their employees. This helps them lead with fairness and treat all with dignity and respect. Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:9
God’s Call to Employees
At one time or another, we have all found ourselves in jobs we do not like with bosses we cannot stand. We can find encouragement when we realize that, ultimately, it is God we work for. God calls employers and employees to work primarily for Him as they serve one another. Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:5-8
God’s Call to Children and Their Families
There is often some confusion about role children play in the family and who makes family decisions. God’s word is very clear about who leads families: parents. God calls children to obey their parents, honor them, and care for them when needed. With these commands, he promises blessings for children. Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:1-3
God’s Call to Spouses
In today’s culture, husbands and wives often neglect their callings to be devoted to their spouses for a variety of reasons. But God calls husbands and wives to love and respect one another not just so that they can have a fruitful marriage, but more importantly so that they might show the world the marriage between Christ and his Church. Sermon Text: Ephesians 5:22-33
United Against One Enemy
We are not to fight against human beings. That just leads to more division and hostility. Our true enemy is the devil and all his dark forces that are at work behind all that is evil. We are to work together to find our common spiritual enemy with spiritual weapons. Sermon Text: Ephesians 6:10-17
United in Purpose Under Christ
God united us to live new lives of love and service, under one purpose. We no longer live for our own personal and individual gain. Instead we are to live as “children of the light”. Our old life of sin and selfishness leads to division and pain. But when we live for the good of others, we become a united family of love. Sermon Text: Ephesians 4:17-5:20
United in our Diversity
Our unity in Christ does not mean uniformity; it means diversity. The Church is the body of Christ and we are all unique members of his body. We all play a unique role in his kingdom. Our diverse gifts and callings allow us to complement each other so that we might all mature together. Sermon Text: Ephesians 4
United in Prayer – Understand God’s Love
Because God has made us the unified children of God, we can now approach our Father with freedom and confidence. Prayer is a unique opportunity for us to grow closer to God and know that he listens to us. Through prayer, we ask God to help us all grasp the height, depth, length, and width of his love so that we can grow even closer to God and one another. Sermon Text: Ephesians 3
United in Humanity
We are all part of humanity. But the Ephesians were divided based on race. There was a deep divide between Jews and Gentiles. Those divisions led to real hostility. But Jesus came to make the two groups one, breaking down the walls that divided them. Our society seems to be divided into at least two groups politically, racially, and socially. But Christ came to remove those barriers and make us all one. In Christ, we all become the one household…
