August 13, 2023
Suit Up! Ephesians 6:10-20 Sunday, August 13, 2023 Dr. Kelly B. Burton Chapter 6 serves as the climax to the Ephesian letter. “Finally,” signals the end. Yet, it seems to be just the beginning for the Christian who applies everything in chapters 1-5! When you apply the breathtaking benefits of the letter, great danger is… Read More »
Sunday Sermon – August 6, 2023 – “The Spirit-Filled Marriage” – Ephesians 5:22-33
August 6, 2023
The Spirit-Filled Marriage Ephesians 5:22-33 Sunday, August 6, 2023 Dr. Kelly B. Burton To first-century listeners these appeals to the wife were nothing controversial. We can almost see the congregation nodding in agreement. The controversy begins in verse 25 with the husband. None of the household codes in first century Ephesus commanded the husband to… Read More »

July 30, 2023
The Spirit-Filled Life Ephesians 5:1-2, 15-21 Sunday, July 30, 2023 Dr. Kelly B. Burton There is confusion among Christians about what the Spirit-Filled life looks like.

Sunday Sermon – July 16, 2023 – Ephesians 3:12-21 – “Don’t Get Discouraged””
July 16, 2023
Don’t Get Discouraged Ephesians 3:12-21 Sunday, July 16, 2023 Dr. Kelly B. Burton It just makes sense for a prayer to fall after a lengthy treatise on epic theology. Even more, the prayer is situated just before Paul instructs the church on how to apply all that theology. I don’t think this prayer could have… Read More »

July 9, 2023
No Room for Big Egos Ephesians 2:1-10 Sunday, July 9, 2023 Dr. Kelly B. Burton Ephesians chapter 1 reminds us we owe everything to God. At this very moment He is lavishing His grace on us.

July 2, 2023
Extravagant Love! Ephesians 1:1-14 Sunday, July 2, 2023 Dr. Kelly B. Burton Ephesians is regarded as the most influential document on Christian thought and spirituality. The author is Paul, writing from prison in Rome (Acts 28). There were no problems in the church, but the amount of Christian doctrine tells me he may be writing… Read More »
