Ephesians 6:1-9 Gospel-shaped 4/26/26 Sermon
Gospel-shaped home. Paul’s teaching on how the Gospel changes Christians extends from marriage (5:22-33) to the family. Children are called to obey their parents in line with God’s law and the way that He has made the world: obedience brings blessing. Parents – fathers are specifically in view here – are to seek to not frustrate or provoke their children, but instead are to build them up in every way that points to the Lord, through discipline and instruction.

Life. The good news is this: what Jesus had repeatedly taught is exactly what had happened. He was no longer dead in the tomb, but had risen. Jesus was alive! The mission for the women was simple: they were to look in, see for themselves that Jesus wasn’t there, and then take this wonderous news to the rest of the disciples.

Matthew 26:36-46 Our Obedient God 3/29/26 Sermon
Any other way? Christ’s first prayer asks the heart-searching question: is there any other way to save God’s people than to die a brutal death on the cross? Yet, Jesus focuses on the Father’s will more than His own. The disciples, for their part, fall asleep – they give in to temptation instead of preparing themselves.

Ephesians 4:25-32 The New Self – 3/15/26 Sermon
The new community that Christ calls us to looks radically different from what we were before. Jesus calls His people – His church – to put off the old self and put on the new.
