Ephesians

We think of Paul as being super spiritual, mature and in a close relationship with God. Yet he still needed the support, prayers and encouragement of his Christian friends.

"Our relationship with God, our spiritual walk, our Christian experience, will never rise higher than our prayer life. Prayer is of the utmost urgency for every believer". 

Although much is expected of the Christian, sufficient resources are provided in Jesus Christ to enable us to meet all the demands placed upon us. In this discussion, we look further at the shield of faith, the helmet of Salvation, sword of the Spirit.

This message dives into the message of relationships in general, not just marriages. How does this section of scripture convey the message of servant-leadership, healthy 'yielding of right of way', and Biblical headship? Listen for these and other insights!

The filling of the Holy Spirit is not a once-and-for-all experience but one that needs to be renewed over & over again. Ps. Martin goes through points highlighting the importance that Jesus and Paul throughout the Bible place on the Holy Spirit in our daily walk.

Christian life as a walk: staying out of the darkness and in the Light.

Every Christian is required to live a new life that's different from the old.The change from the old life to the new would have been particularly evident in those who had come out of their pagan practices in Paul's time. Ps. Martin looks at several key aspects of this change-process, including indicators of the new conduct and character.

Ps. Martin discusses Paul's message of humility, patience, and other encouragements towards the Body of Christ becoming unified - in this way, the Church will realize the full power of Christ

Paul lists out several specific prayers for the Ephesians, in effect, for all of us - and we truly need to spend time reflecting on these specific items in our personal prayer lives. The result is an incredibly deep and powerful relationship with Jesus - what any believer should ultimately aim for, as well as a healthier life in various aspects of our personal lives.

What might obedience, and hearing from God, look like in our individual life? Be it spending time in prison or going house to house sharing the Gospel, we must be able to see our place as a servant in the narrative of God's Word going forward, expanding the Kingdom of God.

Ps. Martin Armstrong discusses the aspect of being on the "outside" vs. being a part of the "in-crowd", and how, Jew or Gentile, through the love of God in the sacrifice of Jesus, we are all loved and accepted.

Ps. Martin Armstrong discusses Eph. 2:1-10 looking at Paul's writings around the nature and purpose of our salvation, our status as "God's masterpiece" and our overall relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ps. Martin continues a series looking at the lessons of Ephesians 1, focusing this week on Wisdom and Understanding - a fullness of knowledge that makes a difference.

The Apostle Paul is in prison, chained to a guard, shut off from friends and loved ones, yet these irritating circumstances, help produce a wonderful let-ter. Many of the most precious things in life come through times of extreme difficulty.

God loves and chooses and call each of us. Ephesians 1
