Admonition: Moving You Closer to God Every Day

Ephesians 5:17-18 - Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit
 
 Transcript:
 
 There are some things in our lives that just shouldn't exist. There are some choices that we just shouldn't make, and among those is this. 
 
 Paul says in Ephesians, chapter five, verse 18, when he says, I want you to understand the will of God, he says, You can't do that and be drunk.
 
 He says, Do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation but be filled with the Spirit. Are you filling your life with alcohol or the Spirit of God?

 Transcript:
 
 Husbands, how should you treat your wife? Ephesians, chapter five, verse 25, says, Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her.

Ephesians 5:31 - For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
 Transcript:
 
 What happens in the life of a man and a woman when they get married? We read in Ephesians, chapter five, For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 
 
 They come together and they become one person, not two separate people. Just the same way that a sinner who becomes a Christian is added to the body of Christ. He becomes one with Christ.

Ephesians 5:28-29 – So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
 
 Transcript:
 
 How should a husband love his wife? Ephesians, chapter five, says he ought to love her as he loves himself.
 
 We don't hate ourselves, or at least we shouldn't. We ought to love ourselves, but we ought to love those who are close to us, those who are our spouses, as much as we love ourselves. 
 
 Christ did this for the church. He loved it so much, He died for it. Do you love your spouse as much as you love yourself?

Ephesians 5:25-26 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
 
 Transcript:
 
 What kind of church does Christ want? What kind of congregation does Christ want your church to be?
 
 In Ephesians, chapter five, we read that he wants a church that's submissive as a wife is to a husband. He wants a church that is glorious. 
 
 He wants a church that is without spot or wrinkle, verse 27, or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. Christ wants a church that's been washed in the blood, and that's holy and sanctified. 
 
 Does that describe your church? Dig a little deeper in God's word and learn more today.

Ephesians 5:25-26 - Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
 
 Transcript:
 
 Why did Christ give himself for the church? In Ephesians chapter five, we read, in verse 26, the first reason, That he might sanctify and cleanse her with washing of water by the word.
 
 But, we also read the second reason that he might present her to himself a glorious church. Does that describe your church?
 
 Does that describe the group of people that you belong to? A glorious church presented to Christ and submissive to him.

Ephesians 5:22 - For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
 
 Transcript:
 
 Whose responsibility is it, in a husband and wife relationship, to make sure that the wife is submitting to her own husband?
 
 We read in Ephesians chapter five, verse 24, Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
 
 Wives, this is not the husband's responsibility to force upon you. It is your responsibility to do so the same way you submit to Christ, to be submissive as you submit to Christ.

Ephesians 5:19 - Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
Transcript:

We often ask the question for what should we pray? And we often consider that idea.

But have you considered the same thing should be said about our singing? For we read in Ephesians chapter five, that we ought to speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God.

When we sing, one of the things that we ought to be doing is giving thanks to God and praising Him.

Ephesians 5:24 - Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Transcript:

Does your church submit to Christ? 

In Ephesians Chapter five, Verse 24 we read, Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.  Paul says that the church is to submit to Christ. 

When you look at your church, are you seeing things where, they're saying, I know that's what Christ said, I know that's what the Bible says, but that's not what you have to do? Is your church submitting to Christ?

Ephesians 5:23 - For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

Transcript:

Who's the head of your home?

There's a lot of people of society who don't like that question, and they certainly don't like the Bible's answer.

But in Ephesians Chapter five, Verse 23 we read, For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Husband, are you the head of your home? Wife, are you submitting to your husband?

Ephesians 5:21 - Submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Transcript:

How should a Christian live? He should live in a way that's kind.

He should live in a way that's forgiving. He should live in a way that's loving. He should live in a way that's sacrificing. 

All of these things, Paul says in Ephesians chapter five, but he should also live in a way that is submissive. 

Paul says in Ephesians chapter five, verse 21, Submitting to one another, those are Christians, to one another, in the fear of God. Humble yourself before your brethren and submit to one another.

Ephesians 5:19 - Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord

Transcript:

What should we do in song? What should we do when we're singing? Paul says. We are to be speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody and our heart to the Lord. 

But then he says this, we are to be giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you're singing, may I encourage you, sing songs of thanksgiving.

Ephesians 5:13-14 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."
Transcript:
When people live in a way that's evil, and when they do things that they want to keep secret, what should you do if you're observing this? You want to bring the light of Christ into the situation.

We read in Ephesians chapter five, Verse 13. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore, he says, awake, you who sleep arise from the dead and Christ will give you light.

Wake up! Live is a Christian! Shine the light of Christ. 

I hope the light of God is in you, today. For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit www.colliervillecoc.org.

Ephesians 5:11-12 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

Transcript:
When people live in a way where they want to keep the things that they're doing a secret, that's a good indicator that you don't need to be around them. 
In Ephesians, chapter five, verse 11, Paul says, And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
There are people doing things in secret that Christians have no business being involved in. Stay away from them.

I hope the light of God is in you, today. For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit www.colliervillecoc.org. 

Ephesians 5:11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
 
 Transcript:
 Have you ever heard the phrase when you were growing up: Don't tell Mom?
 
 I know myself and my brothers, we sometimes said that. We didn't want one of the other brothers to rat us out.
 
 But, Paul says that we ought to live differently than that. Paul says, in Ephesians chapter five, verse 11, And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 
 
 When someone's doing something that's truly wrong, shine light on it, speak the truth and expose error.

Ephesians 5:11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
 
 Transcript:
 How should you interact with people who are doing what's wrong?
 
 I'm not talking about every moment of every day, every time you see someone doing what's wrong, but generally speaking. 
 
 How do you interact with the people who are doing wrong things around you and encouraging you to do them as well?
 
 Paul says, in Ephesians chapter five, verse 11, And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them.
 
 Don't cover up other people's wrongdoing. Shine the light of God today.
 
 I hope the light of God is in you, today. For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit www.colliervillecoc.org. 

Ephesians 5:10 …finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
 
 Transcript:
 Is God okay with whatever you want to do? What I mean by that is, are there things that are acceptable and unacceptable before God? Well, yes, there certainly are. 
 
 In Ephesians, chapter five, we read about the things in verse six for which God brings His wrath upon the sons of disobedience.
 
 But then we read in verse 10 that we ought to be finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
 
 We need to be looking in our lives and in God's word for what is acceptable to God and then implementing that in our lives today.
 
 I hope the light of God is in you, today. For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit www.colliervillecoc.org. 

Ephesians 5:9  for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth

Transcript:

In all the things that God says about how we are to live, remember that He gives us things that help us. Think about how your life would change if you filled your life with these things.

The things called the fruit of the spirit. They're called goodness and righteousness. They're called truth, Ephesians chapter five, verse nine. 

If you filled your life with goodness and righteousness and truth, would your life be better than it is today?

I hope the light of God is in you, today. For more from the Collierville Church of Christ, visit www.colliervillecoc.org.
