The Prayer that Defines and Directs the Christian Life – Part 8

This Lord’s Day morning, we continue our study of the Apostle Paul’s second prayer for the believers in Ephesus. Lord willing, we enter into the second petitions; being strengthened by God’s Spirit to experience the love of Christ. It is in this petition being answered we define and live the Christian life – a life under the control of Christ’s love.

The Nature of the Obedience Creating Assurance – Part 1

This Lord’s Day evening, we return to our study of the New Testament book of 1 John. We find ourselves in chapter two, verse three and encounter the primary source for gaining and maintaining assurance of salvation – our obedience to the Lord’s commandments. We hope to look at the nature of the obedience we are to practice as we walk with the Lord.

The Prayer that Defines and Directs the Christian Life – Part 5

This Lord’s Day morning, we continue our study of the Apostle Paul’s second prayer for the believers in Ephesus. Lord willing, we hope to look at the man praying – the Apostle Paul. Apart from the example of the Lord Jesus, Paul is a model to follow on becoming a person of prayer; prayer that reaches the heart of God and brings one into deep fellowship with Him. In looking at Paul, we aim to identify the traits found in his praying.
