ARE YOU A FIGHTER?  GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH IN BEREA KYWhat you are willing to fight for reveals a lot about you.

We probably don’t consciously stop and ask ourselves what it is that we are willing to fight for, but when it comes to our walk with Christ maybe we should ask ourselves are we willing to fight?

A Different Christianity Grace Community Church in Berea KYIf you have read my posts, you will have gathered that I attended a rather left-wing liberal, liberal arts college. Since my last writings for Grace Community Church I find myself graduated (hooray!) and doing things like job-searching, knitting, and painting my toenails fire-engine red.

Spiritual Warfare - Grace Community Church in Berea KYJohn MacArthur writes in his commentary to the Ephesians “The true Christian described in Ephesians 1-3 who lives the faithful life described in 4:1—6:9 can be sure that he will be involved in the spiritual warfare described in 6:10-20. The faithful Christian life is a battle; it is warfare on a grand scale—…”

This morning we are going to begin our study of the closing thoughts of Paul to the believers at Ephesus. Paul begins this section with the word “Finally”. If we are not careful we may read the word finally and just ever so slightly let our attention wane but to do so would be to miss out on some very important and vital information that is crucial to us as believers.
