Admonition

Scripture:

Ephesians 5:11

Description:

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.

Scripture:

Ephesians 5:10

Description:

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.

Ephesians 5:9

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?

Scripture:

Ephesians 5:2, 8, 15

Description:

Ephesians 5:2, 8, 15 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma… For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light… See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise…

Transcript:
How should we walk? That’s a question we’ve discussed before, but Paul mentions three ways in Ephesians, Chapter five that we should walk.

Number one, he says, Walk in love because Christ loved you. Number two, he says, Walk as children of light, living the way God would have you.

And number three, he says, Walk, circumspectly, verse 15, Not as fools, but as wise. How are you walking today?

Scripture:

Ephesians 5:6

Description:

Ephesians 5:6 – Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Transcript:
What kind of words does a person use when they’re trying to convince you that you can do things God says you shouldn’t do?

Well, Paul says in Ephesians, Chapter five and in Verse six that those kinds of words are empty.

He says, Let no one deceive you with empty words For because of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

He says, when someone tries to convince you that you can do things and live in such a way, God has said not to, their words are empty; they have no authority. Are you being swayed with empty words?
