Ephesians - Victory in Christ Jesus

In this episode we will focus on the warning Jesus gave Ephesus. We will examine why Jesus needs to be our foundation guided by the Holy Spirit through the truth of God's word. Through the warning Jesus gave the church of Ephesus, we can understand how the church is to live up to its role of being a light in the darkness. It needs to be a burning lamp, never hiding the truth, or it will be removed by Jesus Himself.

The early church of Ephesus was active in Ephesus. So we must be active in a pagan world. We, the church, must be built upon the foundation Christ and sound biblical doctrine. We must be active in hope, Love, and doing good works of discipleship and ministry. We must be active in the Holy Spirit. Finally, we must be active in breaking down the strongholds of satan through corporate prayer and engagement of spiritual warfare.

In this episode, which is part three of our introduction, we learned five keys to how Paul planted the church in Ephesus. These keys are: a church starts with believers, is spirit filled, baptizes new believers, makes strong disciples, and has sound biblical doctrine. It is in these guiding keys that Paul writes his letter to the Ephesians.

In this episode we reviewed podcast episodes one and two of our Ephesians series as we went over the city of Ephesus and its role in influencing Paul's letter to the Ephesians and how God began to prepare the ground for planting a church. We also covered what the future episodes will reveal and gave insight to the detail in which we will break down the book of Ephesians.

In this episode we will learn 11 principles for living out the gospel in a hostile pagan world. Discover the unwavering love and victory that Jesus offers us. Let Christ raise us up above the challenges and through the Holy Spirit, guide us to all truth and transform us through His word. Listen to this inspiring podcast episode and be empowered today!

In this first episode in our Ephesians series, Victory in Christ Jesus, we examined how Paul prepared himself to live in a pagan society. In the same way, we as Christians must each day, know our battle field, recognize the dangers, empower ourselves with prayer, separate ourselves from the world and live in Christ Jesus.
