Ephesians Study Day6

Today our verses are from Ephesians 2:8-9, which are the quintessential Lutheran verses which prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Paul was Lutheran!  But wait – there’s also verse 10 which many people overlook but which completes Paul’s formula – BY grace THROUGH faith FOR good works.  All important parts of what it means to be blessed by God.  Here are the verses, 2:8-10:

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.

Listen in to the video:


 

And here’s a wonderful version of the Lord’s Prayer, sung in Swahili (African language) by the Stellenbosch University Choir – It’s called Baba Yetu.  Enjoy!

Ephesians Study Day 24 We come to the end of Paul’s wonderful letter of encouragement to the Ephesians with the final verses: Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak. So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus will tell you everything. He is a dear brother and a faithful minister in the Lord. I am sending him to you for this very purpose, to let you know how we are, and to encourage your hearts. Peace be to the whole community, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all who have an undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ. He ends his letter with faith, love, peace, and grace – which he has been stressing throughout his letter. What a joy it’s been to share this time with you! Here’s the final video: And here’s a final song – How Great Thou Art – wit...

Ephesians Study Day 19 Today we’re still on the beginning verses of Chapter 5 and focusing on Paul’s encouragement for them (and us!) to live as beloved children of God. And in order to do that, not only do we need to try to understand what the will of God is, but we need to live not unwisely, but live wisely as children of light in a dark world. That informs how we live with those who live differently than we do, who may not be Christian, or who may live lifestyles that are counter to what we believe. Rather than shutting ourselves up in a monastery, Paul encourages us to bring light into the darkness around us. Shine your character and honesty into a world that doesn’t value it like we do. Bear the fruit of your character. Live as children of the light! And most of all, remember verse 10: Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord! Here’s the video: Here’s a wonderful Celtic version of Be Thou My Vision.   Enjoy!

Ephesians Study Day 21 We’re in chapter 6! And after talking about mutuality with husbands and wives, now Paul talks about respect and restraint in raising children. As you listen to the video you’ll see how these words were radically different from how children were raised in Paul’s time! We might not think much of them, but wow – they were a huge departure from the way children were raised back then. Here are the verses from 6:1-4: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother – this is the first commandment with a promise: “so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Listen in and remember to pray for your children and grandchildren! I know we’ve heard Josh Groban’s You Raise Me Up before with these videos, but here he is with a group of beautiful little children from Africa. Enjoy the faces ...
