Ephesians 5:22-24

2026/10/30

The Spirit filled wife- What does it mean, biblically, for a wife to submit to her husband? Paul is not saying women should submit to men generally, or that a wife should submit to her husband the same way she submits to God. So where are the lines drawn?

Ephesians 5:15-21

2026/10/29

Walking in the Spirit- Part of walking in wisdom means walking in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit is a very "Christianese" phrase we can throw around, but what does that practically mean? God doesn't want us under the influence of any other intoxicant aside from the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 5:3-18

2026/10/28

Wisdom and light- What does it mean to walk in the light? Avoid the works of darkness and reprove those who partake in them. What does it mean to walk in wisdom? Keep your eyes open, seize the opportunities you have to live out your faith, and be filled with the Spirit.

Ephesians 5:3-18

2026/10/27

What love is not- What does it look like to "walk in love" and imitate God's love for us? Paul begins to answer that question by describing what walking in love does not look like. We must be careful to not lapse into our old habits of Godless living.

Ephesians 4:16-5:2

2026/10/26

Put on the new- It's not enough for Christians to just be "putting off" and only being focused on what we don't do. We must replace our old habits with new ones. What does the conduct of the new man look like?

Ephesians 4:16-5:2

2026/10/23

Put off the old- In Christ, we have been given a new nature. He has taught us about a new way to live. The old man, the way we used to live, needs to be put off. How do we practically "put off" and "put on" as Paul says?

Ephesians 4:1-15

2026/10/22

Spiritual gifts- God has given spiritual gifts to each of His followers to be used to edify the body of Christ. What is God's design and requirement for spiritual leadership in the church? Are there still apostles and prophets today?

Ephesians 4:1-15

2026/10/21

A worthy walk- After focusing on all God has done for us for the first three chapters, Paul says this should be our motivation for practical Christian living. Walking in a way that is worthy of our calling will include the common goal of maintaining unity in the church.

Ephesians 3:1-21

2026/10/20

Purpose and prayer- What is the purpose of the church? The church called to be how God teaches the world about His plan and His work. Paul prays a prayer for himself, and all believers, that we would be strengthened to live out such a special and high calling.

Ephesians 3:1-21

2026/10/19

The mystery revealed- What was previously unknowable, the mystery of the church, has now been revealed through Jesus Christ. Paul was amazed that he could be part of the body of Christ by God's grace. It can be easy to take that privilege for granted.

Ephesians 2:11-22

2026/10/16

What is your foundation?- There's a lot of talk about "church hurt" in our culture. Some churches fail to represent truth because they are not built on a solid foundation. Unbelievers should feel welcomed in church because of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 2:11-22

2026/10/15

Breaking down walls- We were all once alienated from God in our sins. The church should be the place where every wall of prejudice and separation should be broken down. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.

Ephesians 2:1-10

2026/10/14

But God- We were hopelessly dead in our sins, but God, through Jesus Christ, saved us. He made us alive with Him, He raised us up with Him, and made us sit together with Him in "heavenly places."

Ephesians 2:1-10

2026/10/13

Walking dead- Before Christ, Paul said that we were wandering aimlessly in darkness. We were dead in our sins, and the world, the flesh, and the devil determined the direction of our lives.

Ephesians 1:15-23

2026/10/12

Paul's prayer (Part 2)- Taking a closer look at Paul's three prayer requests for the Ephesians at the end of chapter 1.
