Eph 1:19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

Eph 1:20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

Eph 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [all angelic creation], and every name that is named [all humanity], not only in this age, but also in the one to come.

Eph 1:22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,

Eph 1:23 which is His body, the fulness of Him who fills all in all.

Now that the workings of God are known, do the eyes of your heart perceive them, and do their hearing give you great joy?

Eph 1:15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you, and your love for all the saints,

Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

As we return to Ephesians, I want to change our approach for a time. When someone receives a letter, especially an important letter, they don't read it like we are reading this letter. Would you receive a letter from the apostle Paul and in six months only have read the first few sentences? You would read it through and through, and then later, over time, slowly digest its full meaning, and that's what I've decided to do.

Ephesians overview: Chapter 1:3-14

However, it would be pointless for me to simply read the letter to you. We will take a few classes and absorb the letter as a whole, pointing out the places where Paul changes course, or emphasizes something, and to have a grasp of the entire...

The sons of God pray to their Father continually, as the Lord instructed them.

In the upper room Jesus told them something new. One of those new things was to pray to their "Father" in His name. In His name might also indicate in His way.

Mat 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way:

'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.

Mat 6:10 'Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Mat 6:11 'Give us this day our daily bread.

Mat 6:12 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors....

Heb 12:11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

Discipline is not joyous; it is grievous when the believers suffer it. Nevertheless, the end product is a good thing and it will result in holiness and righteous fruit.

Heb 12:12 Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,

Heb 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

Vv. 12-13 entreat us to respond properly to the discipline. Strengthen and walk straight rather than continue in the sin that brought the discipline....

2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves;

2Co 4:8 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

2Co 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2Co 4:10 always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

2Co 4:11 For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

2Co 4:12 So death works in us, but life in...

The Friday before Easter was our 2,000th message.

Christ offers to all who are His the very spirit which made Him what He was. It is imperative that we walk in that spirit and discipline is sometimes our only guide.

Never forget, the same source of inward life which was always sufficient for Jesus to live in a manner pleasing to His Father, He has given to each of us who have believed upon Him.

Heb 12:5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,

"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,

Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;

Heb 12:6 For those whom the Lord loves He...

The sons of God are disciplined by the Father.

Christ offers to all who are His the very spirit which made Him what He was. It is imperative that we walk in that spirit and discipline is sometimes our only guide.

Never forget, the same source of inward life which was always sufficient for Jesus to live in a manner pleasing to His Father, He has given to each of us who have believed upon Him.

Heb 12:5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,

The writer then quotes Pro 3:11-12 (vv. 5-6), proving two things:

1) God disciplines those whom He loves.

2) Discipline is a sign of sonship.

"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the...
