Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 6:4, calling fathers to not provoke their children but to raise them "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," seeing fatherhood as both a priceless privilege and a sober responsibility. He outlines four fatherly duties: use restraint (be fair, avoid provoking or breaking a child’s spirit), use your riches (time, talent and provision to nourish body and soul), use the rod (biblical discipline and chasten with love), and use your relationship (model faith, read Scripture, pray and live authentically). Through personal stories about his father, children and grandkids he warns against favoritism, indulgence, hypocrisy and absentee or “deadbeat” parenting, and emphasizes reliance on the Holy Spirit and God’s corrective love. He urges us to repent where we’ve failed, invest actively in our kids’ spiritual lives, and trust God to finish the work He’s begun.

Pastor Rick Beaudry examines Ephesians 6:1–3, urging children to obey and honor their parents as an outworking of relationship with God, the right moral response, and a command with a promised blessing. He emphasizes the necessity of being "being filled with the Holy Spirit" so families (husbands, wives, fathers and children) can model Christ, resist cultural confusion and spiritual deception, and raise bold, obedient disciples. Using biblical examples (Joseph, Jacob, Daniel), personal stories and pastoral counsel, he addresses practical parenting, discipline, prayer for prodigals, and the long-term spiritual stakes of rebellion. He warns about worldly influences from schools and media to state overreach and calls us to cultivate spirit‑filled homes that prioritize Jesus above cultural pressure.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 5:25–33, calling husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and urging Spirit‑filled marriages that reflect Christ and the bride. He unpacks agape love with four characteristics: costly (sacrificial), cleansing (sanctifying by the Word), caring (nourishing and cherishing), and cleaving (lifelong oneness). Beaudry uses personal anecdotes about his wife Kathy and family to illustrate practical application. He warns against worldly influences, power struggles, and the erosion of marriage when the vertical (relationship with God) is neglected, pressing men to protect, serve, and lead their homes through Scripture and prayer. He balances a call to mutual submission and reverence with pastoral caution on unrepentant sin and divorce, urging us to trust Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of the God‑shaped longing marriage symbolizes.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Ephesians 5:22–24 and teaches that spirit-filled wives submit to their husbands out of reverence for the Lord, enabled by the Holy Spirit. He outlines three reasons for this submission: reverence for Christ, a wife’s relationship with Christ (with the husband pictured as head as Christ is head of the church), and her responsibility before the Lord, while emphasizing mutual submission and the husband’s call to love sacrificially. Rick cautions that submission is not blind obedience. Wives must obey God rather than a husband who demands sin or abuses, and that the Spirit alone overcomes the Fall’s power struggles. Through candid personal stories about his marriage to Kathy, he urges us to trust Jesus, prioritize the spiritual life, and let the Holy Spirit transform our families.

Pastor Rick Beaudry exhorts continual, daily filling of the Holy Spirit as the antidote to living "after the flesh," contrasting Spirit-led life with drunkenness and worldly coping. He highlights practical fruit of being Spirit-filled: a celebrating heart (psalms, hymns, worship), a conquering heart that gives thanks amid trials, and a controlled heart that practices mutual submission, especially in marriage and parenting. Drawing on Pentecost and Acts as models of dunamis power and boldness, he also warns against counterfeit manifestations and the Christianizing of worldliness. The call is to prayer, fasting, Scripture-saturated living, and daily dying to self so the Holy Spirit can transform us from glory to glory.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 5:15–17, urging us to "walk circumspectly" by living orderly, opportunistically (redeeming the kairos), and obediently to God's will amid pervasive deception and cultural chaos. He warns of modern snares - from media and AI to globalist control and moral compromise - calling the church to sober discernment, repentance, and a fear-of-God wisdom grounded in Scripture. Using biblical examples and pastoral counsel, he presses us to be doers not mere hearers, to lay aside the weights that neutralize faith, and to seize the urgent opportunities for evangelism and discipleship. The message closes with a call to surrender to Christ, perseverance in suffering, and readiness for the Lord’s return.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds 1 Peter 1:3–9, centering on the resurrection as a "living hope" that sustains believers through trial and transforms fear of death into rejoicing. He reviews the eyewitness resurrection appearances and prophetic fulfillment as grounds for confident, active faith, contrasting a risen Savior with other dead promises and modern pretenders. Beaudry outlines three blessings of Christ’s work - his resurrection, the reserved incorruptible inheritance in heaven, and our being kept by God’s power until his revealing - and emphasizes salvation as past, present, and future. He urges us to deepen our faith through Scripture and worship, rejoice amid suffering, and respond to the invitation to receive Christ and his living hope.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 5:8,14 on Palm Sunday, urging us to choose the light over darkness and to "walk as children of light," with no neutrality permitted. He outlines three marks of that walk—spiritual ripening and growth, reproving and exposing unfruitful works of darkness, and reflecting God's glory—calling us to abide in Christ, confess sin, and bear fruit in goodness, righteousness, and truth. Beaudry warns against cultural compromise, Laodicean apostasy, widespread deception, and the coming tribulation, exhorting discernment, Scripture-saturated living, and boldness to confront evil. Drawing on biblical examples like John the Baptist, Saul/Paul, and Jesus’ temptations, he appeals for repentance and wholehearted commitment so Christ’s light will shine through us.

Pastor Rick Beaudry exposits Ephesians 5:1–7, urging us to be followers of God who imitate Christ and “walk in love” as he loved us, offering ourselves as living sacrifices. He contrasts children of light with children of darkness, calling believers to holiness (rejecting fornication, uncleanness, covetousness, filthiness, foolish talk and jesting) and to a life marked by forgiveness, obedience and gratitude. Through personal testimony (including his conversion and marriage to Kathy) and pastoral examples (prayers and care for James, Linda and Sally), he illustrates sacrificial love, contentment, generosity and genuine repentance. He warns against cultural deception, challenges superficial professions of faith, and issues a sober call to examine our hearts and respond to Christ.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 4:25–32, urging us to respond to God's kindness by putting off five sins (lying, uncontrolled anger, stealing, corrupt speech, and bitterness) and by being kind, tender‑hearted, and forgiving as God forgave us. He weaves personal stories (a family camp song from Twin Peaks) with biblical examples (Joseph, Jesus cleansing the temple, Stephen) and practical counsel for marriage, church life, and conflict resolution. Beaudry also warns about contemporary deceptions from propaganda and AI to political and cultural lies and calls us to rely on the Holy Spirit to discern truth, restore relationships, and bear the fruit of kindness.
