Cambria Pulpit

In light of all that God has done for us, how should we live as Christians? The book of Ephesians unpacks the riches of God's grace in Christ. We've been challenged to walk in a manner worthy of our calling. Paul summarizes that walk in the conclusion of this letter.

What happens when someone shows up to a battle unprepared? When you're ill-equipped for the task at hand, it doesn't end well. How much more so in the fight for souls! So we must put on the armor of God to be prepared for spiritual battles. 

What do we fight for as Christians? Ephesians 6 says that our fight is not against people, but against the spiritual forces of evil. There is a constant war for your soul. So we must fight to win! 

How does the Gospel affect my job and work ethic? God created work to be a reflection of His intelligence and creativity, but sometimes we view it as a necessary evil. But what if God has a greater purpose for your work? Ephesians 6:5-9 reveals that we are called to glorify God with our work by honoring earthly authority. 

How does the Gospel impact the family? In Ephesians 6:1-4, God gives specific instructions regarding the parent-child relationship. When we obey these commands, it brings joy and blessings.

God created marriage for His glory and our good. To have a healthy marriage, we must understand and practice our God-given roles. This week, Pastor Dave examines the husband's role in marriage. 

Marriage is the most important human relationship and the clearest picture of the Gospel on earth. However, marriage is under attack. So if we want to picture the Gospel accurately, then we must understand our roles in marriage. This week, Pastor Dave walks us through the wife's role in marriage from Ephesians 5:22-33. 

How can we make a difference in a world hurdling toward destruction? As culture wars against the truth, the temptation to give up or give in becomes stronger. But by God's grace, we can make a difference by walking as children of the light. 

Children tend to become like their parents. We naturally imitate their habits and tendencies. As God's children, we should imitate our Heavenly Father. Ephesians 5:1-7 gives this command.

What does change look like? The Gospel of Jesus Christ gives us new life. This new life involves growth and change. In Ephesians 4:17-32, we see what a changed life should look like.
