God’s New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians(LIX)…

The Lord's Day Evening October 21, 2006 Ephesians 6:17-18 “God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (LIX) The Full Armor of God (3): Word and Prayer” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me again to Ephesians 6, as we continue through this section on the armor of God. We've been looking at this great and important and beloved passage for a couple of weeks now. When we looked at the first two or three verses from Ephesians 6:10-12, we said that one of Paul's main concerns was to remind us that we're in a war, so that we're not surprised when we find ourselves in the middle of a fight, and to remind us who we're up against. The battle that we're in is not one that we have the innate…

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd ask you to turn again to Ephesians 6, as we continue to look at this section called “The Armor of God” especially from verses 10 down to verse 18; but really, we’ll use this as our subtitle or theme title for the rest of the book, to the very end of verse 24. Last week we began this new section. It's a very important and famous section of this book, and we concentrated on verses 10-12. In that passage we commented that though the Apostle Paul is well aware that we face a number of different kinds of challenges in the Christian life (our own sinfulness, the…

The Lord's Day Evening October 8, 2006 Ephesians 6:10-12Our Struggle is Not Against Flesh and Blood Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 6, and as you do so I would remind you that we've come to a new section — the final section of this book as we study it together. We've recently worked through a section that began in Ephesians 5:22 and stretched all the way to Ephesians 6:9, dealing with God's household rules pertaining to the relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, even householders and servants. And now in this final section, the Apostle Paul gives a stirring exhortation to the Ephesian Christians and to us, and it has to do with setting in context all that he…

Walk Like A Gentile?

The Lord's Day Morning April 23, 2006 Ephesians 4:17-24 “Walk Like a Gentile?” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. 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. Jesus emphasized to His disciples that they were to be in this world, but not of it. He said to them on one occasion that they were to be salt and light in this world, and that their light was not to be hidden nor was their salt to lose its…

Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Leviticus, chapter 24, as we continue to work our way through this great book. We are on track, by the way, Lord willing, to finish Leviticus at the end of this month on Wednesday nights. By the 31st we should come to the final chapter of this book, in Leviticus 27, and then we will launch forth into the third book of…

Do Not Take Him In

The Lord's Day April 18th, 2004 2 John 5-13Do Not Take Him In If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to 2 John. We’re continuing our study of 1, 2, and 3 John today. We've already observed that the letter of 2 John in a very warm and cordial way, in addressing a local congregation of Christians, applies the principles that John has elaborated more clearly and comprehensively in the letter of 1 John. One of the things that we saw John say over and over in 1 John was…
