In our last lesson we took a good look at what it means for each one of us to put on the full armor of God. Unlike the Roman soldiers of Paul’s day, who would put on and take off their armor depending on the conditions, once we put on the armor of God, we […]
As we continue in the book of Ephesians, Paul is instructing us in how we fight the spiritual battles of life. Before we talk about how we are to dress for battle, I just want to recap a little about the enemy forces we are facing. We know that just living in this world, we […]
As we started out in chapter 6 of Ephesians, Paul instructs children by telling them that their godly duty is to obey and respect their parents. Now this might not be too hard for the children who have believers as parents, but we should pray for those kids who have parents that do not belong […]
We closed out chapter 5 with some great godly advice on how to nourish and maintain a healthy marriage, that wives are to submit to their husbands as to the Lord. As a wife does this, she becomes the ultimate encourager for her husband, as well as a support system with a godly foundation. This […]
Last week we talked about what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. My prayer for you is that each day your desire is to walk with God, being Spirit-filled. We also talked about being able to always give thanks to God, even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of […]
I left you hanging last time on the subject of being filled with the Holy Spirit. We had the contrast within Ephesians 5:18, where Paul basically tells us, don’t get drunk on wine to handle life’s problems (like the world does), but live a life filled with the Holy Spirit. As we begin to examine […]

Synopsis of Chapter 4 – Unity, Gifts, Maturity, you learned Christ, do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Eph. 5:1 “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” Again, we see Paul using the word “therefore.” Why is he using it? This time he’s referring back to the last verse in chapter 4, where we are […]
So far, in chapter 4 we covered a lot of ground. The way I see it, in the first part of this chapter, Paul has been pulling us together as a church. He said the church itself has many parts, which points to all of us, meaning that each individual belongs to the church and […]
Looking back at last week, we know that Jesus left His throne in heaven to come down to our sin-soaked earth (Jesus descended to the earth), and He suffered and died at the hands of sinful man. While His body laid in the grave for three days, Jesus went to the good part of Hades […]
