                                                              Sermon summary  “I Got My Down Payment” from Ephesians 1:1–14   Point number one, the Holy Spirit is God's down payment of ownership.  Believers have the Holy Spirit, they belong to God, their inheritance is secure, and God will complete the work He began in them. from Ephesians 1:1–14 Meaning of “Guarantee” The Greek word arrabōn means a down payment, deposit, or first installment. A down payment demonstrates that a transaction is genuine and that the remaining payment will follow. Paul uses this business concept to explain a spiritual truth: God has given believers the Holy Spirit as the first installment of their future inheritance. Point number two, the Holy Spirit is God's guarantee of our inheritance "The Holy Spirit is more than a feeling or an ex...

                                                  Do not be unequally yoked     I was recently watching a discussion on YouTube where a group of men were talking about relationships and marriage. During the conversation, one of the Video podcast speakers referenced a Scripture ,2 Corinthians 6:14,—though he did not quote it directly. The verse says, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” He used this idea to talk about the importance of alignment in relationships, particularly in today’s divided culture, where differences in values, beliefs, and even politics can easily lead to conflict.    The group discussed how, for a marriage to function well, there must be a level of unity and shared direction. Being in a relationship where two people constantly clash over core beliefs can create ongoing tension and instability. Anoth...

                                                    Why did God save you ?    Did God save you just so you could do nothing for him or his Kingdom, then go to Heaven?  Think of all the disciples who followed Jesus, Women of the bible like Mary , the woman at the well,and Martha.  They all did something  think of the men and women through 66 books of the Bible The Saint's worked and lived their faith  even if that sometimes means they died for the faith.  St. Augustine Said  “The grace of Christ does not find saints and make them sinners, but finds sinners and makes them saints.” and Ephesians 2:10 says“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”    We are saved to be saints and do good works, but those works are part of God w...

Sermon synopsis : Main text   Ephesians chapter 6 Paul call on believers in Ephesians 6:10 "...  be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. " We can do all things through CHRIST. All power belongs to God. Demons job is to stop believers from doing God's will.  They want to destroy, like they made th herd of pigs run into the sea Mark 5:13. There is a battle for your soul going on, in the spiritual realm, a warfare between light and dark . There is a great war going on and God has given  believers in Jesus power.  We have an invisible enemy and we need invisible  armor. We have to put on the whole Armor of God to be able to stand. Without the whole armor you will not be able to stand. Believers need to understand that the  mind is a battlefield;  what you focus on and feed on what you become.  They should focus on and feed  on the word of God.   1.  Ephesians 2:4-6 says "4 But God, who is rich in mercy, be...

“THERE'S A WAR GOING ON” Sermon synopsis: Ephesians 6 chapter 10-12      If you do not put your hands up  or try to stand on the sideline; you are still going to be hit anyway because we all are in a war. Christians are fighting spiritual wickedness in high places expressed in the world through: systemic racism,  social injustice,  economic and educational inequality .The spiritual enemies of God use political , social and economic systems to make policies to fight. They fight against God's people and God's will for all humanity. There are forces out there in the world and we going to have to fight. In order  to fight every Christian needs to put on the ARMOR of GOD.
