The Lord's Day Morning June 18, 2006 Ephesians 5:5-7 “The New Walk (2): More Reasons Why” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 5 as we continue to work our way through this book. Let me just remind you that in Ephesians 4:17ff, the Apostle Paul begins a section of the book which we've been studying for a number of weeks, where he exhorts us to live distinctly as Christians, to be different from the world. And he says this is important for our unity, for the enhancement of the fellowship of the body of Christ, and it's important for our witness to the glory of God in the world. Beginning in Ephesians 4:25 and running all the way to Ephesians 5:4, Paul gives six specific answers, or examples, of areas in which…

The Lord's Day Morning June 4, 2006 Ephesians 5:3-4 “Sexual Immorality, Coarse Talk, Thanksgiving, and the Glory of God” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians, chapter five. We’ll be looking at verses 3 and 4 today. Before we read this passage together — a passage that deals with the issue of sexual immorality, and contains Paul's exhortation to the Ephesians and to us as believers to be different from the world, to be distinct from the world in this whole arena of sexual immorality, both in terms of what we do, what we think about, what we view, and how we speak — I want to remind you of a couple of things. First of all, I want to remind you again that the Apostle Paul in this passage is not saying ‘Do…

Being Like God

The Epistles of John 1 John 1:5-7 Being Like God We’re continuing to work our way through this book and the two small letters of 2nd and 3rd John that follow it. The last time we were to together we said that John in this book shows us how the Christian life expresses itself doctrinally, relationally, and morally. That is, how it expresses itself in the truth that we believe, in the love that we show for one another in the Christian church, the commitment that we show to our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ as well as to those who are neighbors outside of the body of Christ, in the way that we live in accordance with God's precepts and commands. The Christian life manifests itself in these ways: it shows itself in these ways. And John makes that point in this book, but he…

God Gave Them Over (1)

Romans 1:24-25 God Gave Them Over – 1 If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Romans chapter 1 as we continue to study through Paul’s letter to the Romans. We have been in Romans chapter 1 for a number of weeks now, and we even began a new section a few weeks ago when Paul introduces the words of Romans 1:18, where he begins a long diatribe. We have already said that from Romans 1:18 all the way to Romans chapter 3, verse 20, the apostle Paul is announcing the bad…
