13 September 2015 - Ps Andrew Harper - Ephesians Pt 5

 - The caring church.

Ephesians 2:1 - We are saved from 6 things.

1. - Spiritual death.

2. - Sin.

3. - Saved from the patterns of worldly living, but living in a Godly way.

4. - Satan/ Evil, (Kaos).

5. - Saved from our old nature, ( sin).

6. - Saved from the wrath of God.

 Ephesians 2:2 - The daemonic realm is real.

 - Satan has authority over all evil things.

 - He is the defeated enemy, that hasn't been judged yet.

 - Evil can't be defeated by doing nothing.

 - By doing nothing, you are going backwards.

 - We have to be vigilant in Christs name.

 - Read Gods word, (The bible).

 - Speak to God, (Pray).

 - Live Gods way, (knowledge).

God gives us plans of attack and defence.

 - If we don't have Christ in us, we can be drawn back to sin.

Eph 2:4 - Gods mercy and justice, meet at/in Christ. So if people wrong you. You are covered in Gods justice.

 - The devil overstepped his authority with the crucifiction of Christ. Because Christ was sinless.

 - Don't underestimate God, Justice is in Gods nature.

 - The definition of sin, is stepping outside of what God wants for us.

 - When we sin, there will be consequences.

 - God doesn't  protect us from sin, but Gods nature of justice, keeps us accountable.
