Ephesians 4:4-6 - One Lord, One Accord

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries ·

2025/11/25

Todaywe're continuing to look at Ephesians 4:4-6. One of the outstanding characteristicsand testimony of the early church we read about in the early chapters of the Bookof Acts was that “they were in one accord” (Acts 1:14; 2:1, 46; 4:24,32; 5:12). So much so that in Acts 4:32 it was said of them: “Now themultitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither didanyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had allthings in common.” Theyprayed to the same

Todaywe're looking at Ephesians 4:4-6. Yesterday we talked about the grace of unityin verses 1-3. This is a unity in the church among the members that aredisplayed in our humility, our gentleness, our longsuffering, our bearing withone another, and which we continually endeavor to keep so that the world aroundus sees our love for one another, and most of all, the great love of God forthe world through Christ and His cross.

Ephesians 4:1-3 - The Grace of Unity

Pastor Mike Impact Ministries ·

2025/11/22

WhenPaul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians, he told them, "Because you arecarnal, acting like babies, there is strife and division among you.” Someof you are saying you're of Paul. Others are saying, 'I'm of Peter.' Others claimed to be in the Apollos crowd, while somewere saying, 'We're more spiritual than the rest because we're ofChrist.'" Because of this problem Paul wrote the First Corinthian letterto correct them because of this disunity, the

Ephesians 4:1-3 - "Walk Worthy of the Calling"

2025/11/20

Todaywe're moving on to a new chapter, Ephesians 4. As we look at this chapter, weactually are beginning a new section of the book of Ephesians. The first threechapters of Ephesians dealt with doctrine, with knowledge, primarily our positionin Christ. The key word was the wealth that we have already in Jesus Christ. Ithink it's interesting that in the Old Testament, God would say to the nationof Israel, if you obey me, I will bless you. But here in the New Testament, inall Paul's

Todaywe're looking at the last two verses in Ephesians chapter 3. Along withPhilippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, theseare two of the most quoted verses in the Bible that we hear when people finishtheir prayer. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above allthat we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be gloryin the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.

Todaywe're continuing to look at the prayer, the petition that the Apostle Paul madefor the church at Ephesus here in Ephesians 3:14-19. It's very important thatwe remember that as Paul prayed this prayer, these four petitions have to dowith Christian growth, Christian maturity. Paul was concerned that every mancould be made perfect, mature in Jesus Christ. That was his goal. Not just towin people to Christ and say, "Oh, another one's going to heaven."But that he could present

2025/11/17

Todaywe're continuing to look at the prayer, the petition, that the Apostle Paulprayed for the saints there at the church of Ephesus. The first thing he prayedfor in verse 16 is that they would “be strengthened with might through HisSpirit in the inner man”. They'd have spiritual energy to live for the LordJesus Christ and to do the will of God. Secondly, Paul prayed, “that Christmay dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and groundedin love”. So, the second thing now Paul

Todaywe're specifically looking at Ephesians 3:16. Two things we're going to talkabout and that's, “the riches of His glory” and “in the inner man”.As we look at this passage of scripture, we realize that the power of the HolySpirit is given to us “according to the riches of His glory”. Christreturned to glory. But remember He said, "If I don't go away, I can'tsend the Holy Spirit. But if I go away, I will send the Comforter, the HolySpirit." (John 14; John 16:7)

Ephesians 3:14-15Forthis reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whomthe whole family in heaven and earth is named. Todaywe're looking at Ephesians 3. It is interestingto note that this chapter begins with these words; “For this reason” (v.1). Paul is basically saying, “For this reason…”, I'm writingthese things concerning the mystery of the church in the first verses of thischapter because he's trying to convey to his readers there at the church ofEphesus

Todaywe're looking at Ephesians 3:14-15. In the last verses of this chapter, we willbe looking at the prayer that Paul givesus that could even for you and me today be a model prayer. Paul is teaching us another lesson on prayer. Thisprayer in verses 14-21 is the second of two prayers that are recorded inEphesians. The first one is in Ephesians 1:15-23. In the first prayer, theemphasis was on enlightenment, but in this prayer, the emphasis is onenablement. It's not so much a matter of

Ephesians 3:11-13 - "The Eternal Purpose"

2025/11/12

Todayin Ephesians 3, we're talking about the mystery of the church. The word mysteryis used at least six times in the New Testament to refer to the church that wasborn on the day of Pentecost. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit would comeupon people and anoint them to do special deeds, great works such as Samsondid. But in the New Testament, something new takes place. Something that washidden in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit would not only come down upon thepeople and upon the church

People talk about the dead church. My friend, the church is not dead. Thechurch is the body of Christ. Christ would have to die for the church to die.But Christ will not die. He is resurrected.

Whenyou read the Old Testament, it mainly is about the covenant promises and thework of God amongst the Jewish nation. The Jewish nation was called of God, setapart for Him and by Him for a specific purpose. That purpose was to make knownto the world that you can know God, the true and the living God, the creatorGod, the only God. And the only way you can know and experience Him is byfaith.
