God’s New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians…

The Lord's Day Morning August 13, 2006 Ephesians 5:22-24 “God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (XLVIII) Household Rules: Marriage and Family (3)”Obey?! Submit? You've got to be kidding! (2) Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter five, verse 22, as we return to this most “politically incorrect” of passages in the New Testament. I was thinking to myself about three weeks ago as I saw this passage approaching, “What in the world have I done? Now is a good time for a passage on The Lord's Prayer, or something like that!” Let me say very quickly that there are no hidden agendas in these messages. My wife said to me last Sunday, “I know that that was for me….” No, Ann, it…

The Lord's Day Morning August 6, 2006 Ephesians 5:22-24“God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (XLVII) Household Rules: Marriage and Family (2)” Obey?! Submit? You've got to be kidding! (1) Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III I invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 5, verse 22. We’re going to look at verses 22-24 today, but let me admit at the outset we're not going to get out of verse 22. We’re going to have to come back and look at verses 22-23-24 next week. This whole section is so important in our day and time that it bears sitting down on and listening to carefully. We are going to be dealing today with, as I said before the service, a very politically incorrect subject. We’re going to be broaching the “S” word…Submission. And that seems quaint to some,…

God’s New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians…

The Lord's Day Morning July 30, 2006 Ephesians 5:21 God's Household Rules: Marriage and Family (1)” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 5. If you have the outline that was provided today for this message, you’ll also notice the outline of Ephesians 5:18-21. We’re going to go back today to verse 21, the last verse of the passage we studied together last week, because it is a transition verse from the section that we've been studying into this new section that deals with marriage and with family. The Apostle Paul has given one negative command and one positive command in Ephesians 5:18. You see them there in the outline as Roman numerals I and II: “Do not get drunk” is the negative command; the positive…

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 5, as we continue our way through this great letter of the Apostle Paul — not just to the church of Ephesus, but to us, as all Scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable for our reproof and correction and training in righteousness.

If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter four, as we continue our way through this great letter.
