I. INTRO
A. Where We’ve Been
B. Where We’re Going
a. in closing:
b.
Illust.
1. imagine ur self standing on a hill side
C. Main scriptures
Eph 6:
D. Pray
E. Context
a. Paul says, “finally”: bringing letter to a close
1.
He has covered the greatness of God & his purpose in & through Christ
2. His glorious high calling on us
3. & how that should influence & saturate our daily life in rel.
w/others
4. the last thing Paul wants his readers (yes & us) to know is the life of a Christ follower is a life o war
i. not a life o ease & complacency!
ii.
Christianity is not for the faint o heart, but we r called in2 service in a cosmic, spiritual war where souls (both ours & the people of this world) are at stake!
iii.The enemy o God is attacking (sometimes subtly, sometimes on a full frontal engagement)
1. Illust.
II.
BODY
A. We have a scheming adversary
Eph 6:
a.
This adversary has come to steel, kill, & destroy
John
1. steel, kill destroy
i. our faith
ii.
our marriages
iii.
our rel.
w/our kids
iii.
He wants to render us vulnerable, isolated, ineffective
-If he can shipwreck enough o us he thinks he can disrupt God’s plan of Restoring everything that sin destroyed
-If he can keep us fighting amongst ourselves, standing up for our own “pet issues” w/out regard to others needs (selfishness)
-If he can keep wives subverting their husbands authority while he abdicates his responsibilities!
-if he can keep kids rebelling against their parents and parents provoking their kids to anger and crushing their spirits
*we’ll be so focused on fighting ourselves we’ll forget about the real war (God’s war against this adversary)
2. There’s only a few things we can do in response to this adversary
i. bow to him
ii.
run from him
iii.
or do as Paul tells us...
B. We must stand strong (who’s strength?)
a. Stand in God’s strength
how are we strengthened
1.
That is, be empowered by the force of God’s might!
i.
But pastor, u don’t understand, I’m weak, I’m at my limit
strength: force
might:
-Paul thought the same (thorn in his side) & God’s response
ii.
God is big, awesome, & pwrfl!!! (how are we strengthened?)
b.
Strengthened by God’s grace
1. grace is: unearned favor; the extra oomph to do what we otherwise could not
c.
Strengthened by God’s word
1. side note: great argument 4 a multi-generational Church
i.
A multi-generational church is a healthy church
-we strive to be a church o all generations!
-Back to the point: we r strengthened by God’s word
2. word of God is the scriptures (know ur bible)
-read it & get to know God’s promises in the easy times so that when it’s hard u can lean on the truth not what u see & feel, which is quicksand to our faith.
3. word of God is also the promises HE has given to u/us specifically
how?
i. illust.
-James
-Call to b a pastor
d.
Strengthened by waiting on God
1. waiting lit.: hopeful endurance that causes tension; stretching
i. God strengthens us through suffering, difficulty, sorrow, etc.
