Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn with me to Ephesians 6. We are now at the penultimate sermon in this series on the Book of Ephesians. One more to go! Tonight we’re looking at the end of the passage that deals with the armor of God. We’ve been going through that section in Ephesians that has to do with the full armor of God. The last time we were together in this book we began to look at the prayer that was designed to undergird the whole of the armor that God has appointed for believers to wear. Tonight we’re looking specifically at…

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…

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…

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.

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

As we work our way through the letters of Paul, called the Pastoral Letters, we have most recently been in II Timothy 2, where Paul speaks of his own suffering serving the interests of the church, as we were moved as we considered Paul's words there. In this passage today, Paul is reminding Timothy…

A Mighty Fortress: The Christian Experience of Divine…

Psalm 46 The Christian Experience of Divine Support in Time of Trouble If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me tonight to Psalm 46. We’re working our way through the second book of the Psalms on Sunday evenings, and that will take us from Psalm 42 eventually to Psalm 72. And over and over we're asking what we learn about Christ in these Psalms and what we learn about Christian experience in these Psalms. The first three weeks together in Psalm 42 and 43 and 44, we met…

Dealing With Sin (2)

1 John 2:1-2Dealing With Sin (2) Turn with me to 1 John, and look at chapter 1 before we begin to look at chapter 2.

We've been working through the book of 1 John, and we've said that in the end of chapter 1 of the book of 1 John,…
