It's that inspirational moment where we are charged up for the battle in front of us.  As we complete our study in Ephesians Paul is going to charge us up to go put on the full Armor of God.  We have a HUGE mission in front of us and there is a real enemy.  We need to put on the full armor of God to reach our culture with the Gospel.  It's time to get suited up!  Refer to Ephesians 6.

Why does there seem to be such a gap between the life we want and the life we actually seem to be living?  In our study of Ephesians 5 this week we will see some practical behavioral tips and principles for healthy relationships.  Learn how to shrink the gap!

The struggle is real  It's not something we like to endure but we are almost guaranteed to experience a good measure of it in our lifetime.  In Ephesians 3 Paul speaks from prison about why we experience hardship and how we are to live and thrive through those rough seasons.  Maybe you're in the midst of a tough season just getting your head above water, or far from it.  Whatever your situation you can learn how to honor Christ - even (and especially) in the tough times.

God has given us a huge purpose for our lives, but why do we still act like we did before we met Jesus?  We are called to leave our old ways of living behind us and live in a new way.  But what does that look like?  How do we accomplish this?  The second half of Ephesians 4 challenges us to put off the old and put on the new.  Click here if you'd like to view the sermon notes while listening.

Does your walk match your calling?  We have been called out of death to life but what does our life look like?  Ephesians 4 begins a three chapter description of how we can live our lives now that we are free from the domination of sin.  Click here if you'd like to view the sermon notes while listening.
