Asking for a Friend

• 8:38Ephesians 5

  Ephesians 5, 25 says the same. So the New Testament presents the church as both local, us. I always say welcome to the church. It gathers here locally at Bethel. The church universal. The church visible and the church invisible. So again, I ask, which church are we talking about? The church you see or the church you are?

When in Romans

• 11:52Ephesians 5

  Christians are to submit to spiritual leaders. Ephesians 5. Christians are to submit to one another. 1 Corinthians 14 and again in Peter. Wives are to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Submission, the word submit is the language of Christianity. So for anyone who says, well, I don't like that word, this is the language of the Christian.

  The cost of following Jesus Christ is great. And church, here is what we have to be very careful of. To abstain from everything in your life is to leave your life empty. And when there's emptiness, it always creates a vacuum. That's why Ephesians 5 says this. Do not be drunk with wine. It doesn't stop there, though. So God gives us, don't do this, but be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Advent 2016

• 35:33Ephesians 5

  Some of you get called boss. Some of you get called friends. Some of you are called things that we can't repeat on this side of heaven. Because of ugliness in the world that we live in. And sometimes the things that we are called by others leaves a permanent scar in our life. Listen to this verse. Verse 8 of Ephesians 5. For you were once in darkness.

Proverbs

• 18:29Ephesians 5:22

  And so, what God's word cements for us is it's a great thing. It's a strengthening, glorious, beautiful thing to be a woman. And in the midst of that, even in that strength, Ephesians 5.22 says, wives, submit to your husbands. And so, I love Proverbs 31 because it really counteracts that. Because the world says, well, wives, women, you don't have to submit. So, to be strong, you have to be an independent…

  Ladies, this is time for you to take a nap, is what I'm saying. Men, I want you to look in your notes. There's a passage of scripture directly for us. Now this is where you guys are going to get jazzed up. But before you do, I want you to read the entire passage with me.

But in Ephesians chapter 5,
