One Body, Spirit, Hope, Lord, Faith, Baptism, God and…

The Lord's Day Morning March 26, 2006 Ephesians 4:4-6 “One Body, Spirit, Hope, Lord, Faith, Baptism, God and Father (3)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 4 as we continue to work our way through this great book…and we see God's kindness to us in knowing what we need before we know what we need. We've been looking at Paul's exhortation in Ephesians 4:1-3 to live out our calling as Christians by loving the family of God and by pursuing peace with our fellow Christians, our fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, especially in the local congregation, and I want to encourage you that the Apostle Paul knows how difficult that is. It's one thing , isn't it, to love someone that…

One Body, Spirit, Hope, Lord, Faith, Baptism, God and…

The Lord's Day Morning March 19, 2006 Ephesians 4:4-6 “One Body, Spirit, Hope, Lord, Faith, Baptism, God and Father” (Pt. 2) Dr. J. Ligon Duncan II …For several months now, and starting in Ephesians 4 just a few weeks ago, we emphasized on a number of occasions that whereas in Ephesians 1-3 the Apostle Paul has described what God has done in bringing believing Jew and Gentile into one body in Jesus Christ, and that in chapters 4-6 he's now going to tell us how we ought to live in that one body; so that the first three chapters of Ephesians are about the indicative (what God has done and what we in fact are in Jesus Christ) and the second three chapters, chapters 4-6, are about the imperative (or what we ought to do because we are God's people in Jesus Christ). So…

One Body, Spirit, Hope, Lord, Faith, Baptism, God and…

The Lord's Day Morning March 12, 2006 Ephesians 4:4-6 “One Body, Spirit, Hope, Lord, Faith, Baptism, God and Father” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter four. I'm going to read verses 4-6 today, but we're only going to get through verse 4. Let me remind you again that in this book the Apostle Paul has spent three chapters telling us what we are in Jesus Christ. And this is important for the Apostle Paul, because in the three chapters that we're now studying, beginning in the first verse of chapter four, he is calling on us to live out in our lives the reality that God has given to us in Jesus Christ, which he's already described in chapters one to three. In other words, Paul's gospel…

The Mystery of Godliness

The Lord's Day Morning August 22, 2004 I Timothy 3:14-16 “The Mystery of Godliness” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to I Timothy, chapter three. We’re working our way through this book. In fact, we're working our way through the Pastoral Epistles, these three letters from Paul, a veteran pastor, church planter, evangelist and missionary, to a young pastor named Timothy and another young pastor/church planter named Titus. In those…

A Warning Against Judging Brothers (1)

Romans 14:1-2 A Warning Against Judging Brothers (1) If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 14. If you came in and did not pick up an outline and you want you, you still have an opportunity to pick one up and some of the entrances. If you don't have one, you may want to let someone who is on the end of the row go out and pick up a handful if you want to follow along with the outline. We are working our way through a marvelous section of the book of…

A Call to Humility and Service

Romans 12:3-8 A Call to Humility and Service If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 12, as we continue to work through this great passage together. Last week we looked at Romans 12 verses 1 and 2. In this passage Paul makes a grand declaration about Christian living and we've said this whole second section of the book, from chapter 12 through 15, is about living of the Christian life, the Christian way of life Paul is now speaking about, and he's…
