Our study this week is from Ephesians 6:10: Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. When the apostle writes “finally” here it means that this is the concluding thought to the entire epistle. For a letter that is so rich and deep in the revelation of the glory and purpose...

Our study this week is from Ephesians 6:9: And, masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him. Of course this is a continuation of the theme that we studied the last two weeks which exhorted...

This week our study is from Ephesians 6:7-8: With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free. This is a continuation from our verses for last week. We must do everything...

We continue our study this week with Ephesians 6:5-6: Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ; not by way of eye service, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the...

This week we continue our study with Ephesians 6:4: And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. It is noteworthy that this exhortation is to fathers instead of mothers. It is not always the case, but usually fathers are the...

We continue our study this week with Ephesians 6:2-3: Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.” Last week our verse stated that children are to obey their parents “in the Lord” (Ephesians 6:1...

Our text for this week in Ephesians 6:1 continues the emphasis on family relationships. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. This exhortation for children to obey their parents is for one reason—it is right. This one thing—children learning to obey their parents is one of the...

Our verse for this week is Ephesians 5:33, “Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see to it that she respect her husband.” The first word in this verse is important: “nevertheless.” In modern English it comes across as an expression of...

Our verse for this week is Ephesians 5:31: For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. It is well known that one of the biggest problems in marriage can come from the in-laws, but they can also be a great blessing. Even...
