Many Christians miss out on abundant life now and their future inheritance in the kingdom because they choose to follow the crowd rather than following the Lord.  When we stop following the Lord and walking in His light, we lose sight of our true spiritual condition as well as become lulled into a false sense of spiritual well-being.The post Dare To Be Different (Ephesians 5:6-14) first appeared on The Oasis.

Paul declares to the believers in Ephesus that receiving an inheritance should be a constant motivation and inspiration for living for Christ now.  To the surprise of many, not all Christians will share in an inheritance in Christ’s future kingdom.The post Inheriting A Kingdom (Ephesians 5:1-5) first appeared on The Oasis.

Paul exhorts the Ephesian Christians to put on the “new man.”  The “new man” is what a believer has been created to be in Christ.  We have become partakers of the divine nature and therefore possess great supernatural ability.  However, we must learn what we possess and how to use it properly as we could do more harm than good.The post Our Supernatural Powers and How to Use Them (Ephesians 4:25-32) first appeared on The Oasis.

Paul informs the believers in Ephesus that if they are committed to spiritual growth, inevitably they will be confronted with the Word of God.  This truth is not given to us for information but for transformation.  Growth equals change.  If we are growing, we are changing.The post Let’s Get Real (Ephesians 4:17-24) first appeared on The Oasis.

Paul states that it is the church’s responsibility to manifest who God really is.  However to do this consistently and correctly, the church needs to be made up of growing, maturing believers whose focus is not only their own spiritual growth but the spiritual growth of those around them.The post The Marks of Spiritual Maturity (Ephesians 4:11-16) first appeared on The Oasis.

Paul informs the believers in Ephesus that they are gifts to the church.  However to be a gift that benefits and profits the body of Christ, certain things must continually be kept in mind by each part of the body.  These are the principles Paul shares in this passage before us.The post Being A Gift (Ephesians 4:1-12) first appeared on The Oasis.

Paul states that the glory of God should be evident in the church – within each and every community of believers.  How is this possible?  It is possible when the people of God recognize their spiritual power, passion, and prosperity.The post To God Be The Glory (Ephesians 3:14-21) first appeared on The Oasis.

So much about local church ministry is focused on ourselves and our felt needs.  Paul, however, informs the church at Ephesus that when we become part of the body of Christ – the church; it’s never about us.  This is a message the church needs to hear today more than ever.The post It’s Not About Us (Ephesians 3:1-13) first appeared on The Oasis.
