Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly

Ephesians 6:4

A father has a profound influence on his children. This verse outlines a father's responsibility to train and teach his children. What does it mean to “bring them up”? What is the difference between training and teaching? How can fathers—sometimes even unwittingly—provide their children to wrath?

Ephesians 6:1-3

Context is king in Bible interpretation, and understanding the context of this passage is essential. We will consider the following questions: What kind of parents are in view in this passage? What is the difference between obeying and honoring? Is there a limiting phrase to the extent of obedience?

Ephesians 5:29-33

Sometimes it is helpful to simplify. When we can distill a group or individual’s purpose down to one simple statement, it becomes easier to see one’s priorities. He can use the statement as a lens by which to view all of the lesser responsibilities. We find such a statement about marriage in today’s passage! Don’t miss it!

Ephesians 5:25-28

The Bible instructs husbands to love their wives AS Christ loved the church. If that be true (and it is), then we husbands must answer the larger question: How did Christ love the church? Fortunately, this passage of Scripture supplies at least 4 ways husbands can and should love their wives as Jesus loves His bride!

Ephesians 5:22-24

Much controversy surrounds the word submission in modern culture. Somehow, the word has become negative and connotes inferiority or weakness. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Biblical submission is evidence of Spirit-power and was modeled by the Lord Jesus Himself. Moreover, it is an essential component to the success of any group.
