    The Reward

    This week our study is from Ephesians 6:7-8:


    With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.


    This is a continuation from our verses for last week. We must do everything unto the Lord, not men. This is the source of the greatest liberty that we can ever know—if we are true slaves of Christ there is no yoke that man can ever

    The Freedom of Slavery

    We continue our study this week with Ephesians 6:5-6:


    Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;

    not by way of eye service, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.


    Many wonder why the Scriptures do

    The Instruction of the Lord

    This week we continue our study with Ephesians 6:4:


    And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.


    It is noteworthy that this exhortation is to fathers instead of mothers. It is not always the case, but usually fathers are the strict disciplinarians. Mothers tend to be more nurturing and prone to mercy. Fathers can be more prone to anger, which can cause them to carry discipline too far. Discipline not carried far enough as

    The Beginning of Honor

    We continue our study this week with Ephesians 6:2-3:


    Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise),

    that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.”


    Last week our verse stated that children are to obey their parents “in the Lord” (Ephesians 6:1). This

    The Beginning of Judgment

    Our text for this week in Ephesians 6:1 continues the emphasis on family relationships.


    Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.


    This exhortation for children to obey their parents is for one reason—it is right. This one thing—children learning to obey their parents is one of the most important factors in teaching a child to discern right from wrong. Why is this? As the prophecies of Scripture make clear, one of the greatest evils to come upon the earth in the last days
