August 26, 2018 A Fight To The Finish

Sunday's sermon will be the last in our series on Ephesians - Ephesians 6:10-20 is a favorite of many preachers and Sunday School teachers. The images of the parts of a soldier's battle uniform forming a protective cloak against evil for a Christian are burned into many of our imaginations.

What daily spiritual disciplines do you employ to ensure that you are faithfully following Jesus Christ each and every day? Come this Sunday for a message from Ephesians on how you can best fortify your soul for the spiritual warfare encountered by every child of God.

Grace and peace, Pastor Bob

    August 19, 2018 Honoring Our Relationships

    Our sermon scripture text for this Sunday - Ephesians 5:21-6:9 - contains some of the most argued-over passages of Scripture in all the Bible.

    Paul addresses the nature of human relationships that too often turn into battlegrounds - relationships between husbands and wives, parents and their children, even slaves and their masters. Where many people approach these relationships from a perspective of personal power, Paul presents a different perspective - a perspective that begins and ends with the life, sacrifice, and reign of Jesus Christ.

    How do we honor the relationships in our lives? Come Sunday for a message on doing just that from Paul's letter to the Ephesians.

    Grace and peace, Pastor Bob

    August 12, 2018 Get On With It

    Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)

    "Making the most of every opportunity,...." Take a moment and think of the preciousness of every moment. Of every opportunity to do good. Of every door opened by God.

    I heard a discussion on the radio yesterday on the subject of "free time" and how we all need more of it. For the Christian, however, there is no such thing as "free time." All time is owned by God, redeemed by the blood of Christ, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. To live in Christ is to surrender our will to His and to offer up our minutes and moments as a holy sacrifice.

    This doesn't mean we cannot spend time resting or relaxing or enjoying the beauty of God's creation all around us. It does mean that we should be wise in how we invest our time, seeking the leading of God's Spirit rather than the spirit of a world that often seems to be spinning out of control.

    How are you taking advantage of every opportunity for the sake of the Gospel and a world that so desperately needs the light of Jesus Christ?

    Grace and peace, Pastor Bob

    Be kind and compassionate to one another,

                        God forgave you. [Ephesians 4:32]
