Eph 6:10-18 is a passage we have preached and taught several times. It’s about the whole armor of God. The purpose of this armor is to protect us from the devil in a fight. He’s trying to knock us out and we are to stand therefore. In Eph 6:10, the...
Our text is Col 3:12-17. In Col 3:15, we read, “ye are called in one body.” The Lord Jesus Christ has called us together into one body. We are in him and therefore we are connected together. However, there are many forces working against keeping the body together. The...
In 1 Pet 5:1-4, Peter exhorted the elders, who were among the scattered strangers to whom he wrote this epistle, 1 Pet 1:1. He told them, in verses 2 and 3, to “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly;...
Paul’s prayer request concerning the opposition of wicked men – 2 Thes 3:1-2. Paul asked the Thessalonians to pray for him [Eph 6:18-19].

In Ecc 8:4, the word of a king is authoritative and very powerful. In the reign of Ahasuerus, when Vashti refused to come at the king’s command, she was deposed from being queen and she was replaced by Esther. The decree was made throughout all 127 of his provinces that...
We are studying 1 Pet 2:1-3. “Wherefore” refers back to 1 Pet 1:18-25 which we studied last week. Remember that we are redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus, the lamb without blemish and spot; we are purified through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren; we are born...
