We walked through the verses 1-4 of chapter 6, but before that we described 5 biblical realities of parenting.
- To parents is given the primary responsibility of the training of children
- Children are an objective good within the context of marriage
- The raising of children is extremely difficult
- Godly parenting requires daily discipline from godly parents
- One particular sign of the last days will be parents abandoning their children and children refusing to obey their parents

Ephesians chapter 1 is amazing in the theological beauty that it contains and highlights. This morning's sermon was on a set of verses that are somewhat distinct from the preceding verses from Ephesians 1 . In these verses, the Apostle Paul gives thanks to God for the vitality of the Christians living in Ephesus after he heard of their spiritual growth in the years since he was in Ephesus.
This passage was a difficult one to preach--in that the text doesn't seem to lend itself to 1, 2, or 3 quick "points." I decided to ask one question: "What is your prayer life like?" and then noted 4 items to pray for (indwelling of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation; knowledge of the hope of his calling; knowledge of the wealth of His inheritance; knowledge of the power of the Almighty God). At the end, I did try to point out a neat twist on these 4 items to pray over and for fellow believers. We pray that you enjoy and benefit from this look at God's Word!

We have been looking at the life of King David. Our text for October 29, 2023 was 2 Samuel 24:1-25. This final chapter of 1/2 Samuel tells of a census and curse during King David's time reigning over Israel. This text describes a beautiful and important set of verses that I believe constitute a massively important and overlooked canonical text. This text takes the reader back to Genesis/Exodus and then directly propels the reader into 1/2 Kings...but also points forward to the New Testament and the true king Jesus!
During the sermon this week, we noted 3 points from the text and then 3 points of application. We saw: Jesus is stronger and wiser than David; Jesus is a better mediator than David; Jesus offers a better sacrifice than David. For application, we saw: we should worship and follow the True King, we should be quick to repent of our sin, and we should rest in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

This chapter tells the "last words" of King David from the end portion of his time reigning over Israel. This text describes a beautiful and important set of verses that I believe constitute a massively important and overlooked messianic prophecy. I think that David (and the human author of Samuel) tells more here that what many modern commentators have noticed!
During the sermon this week, we noted a bunch of things from the text. What I wanted to portray from the text was the portrait that I believe David was painting of the true Messiah--the LORD Jesus Christ!
