Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly

Ephesians 4:3-6

Unity is not a matter of simply getting together and ignoring our differences, no matter what they may be… that is union. Unity is a matter of coming together around the same shared, non-negotiable truths. Find out on today’s episode what those truths are and how they are essential for all true believers. 

Ephesians 4:1-2

After three solid chapters of rich doctrinal truth, Paul finally aims at application. In fact, chapters 4-6 are all about applying biblical truth. What is surprising is that Paul begins the biblical application with an appeal for believers to guard the unity we share because of the Holy Spirit. Like a belt, peace holds us together!

Nehemiah 13

Ephesians 3:17-21

The unshakable position of every believer—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—is found in his connection to the relentless love of Christ. When a person finds his security there, he is unmoved by the seeming instabilities of the world around him. He begins to see God work in ways he never thought possible!

Ephesians 3:14-16

The prayers of the Bible bear little resemblance to the majority of prayers in the modern church. Modern prayers typically center on circumstances, stuff, and physical health. Biblical prayers focus much more on the incredibly more important aspects of spiritual health and strength.

Ephesians 3:8-13

God's plans are amazing! They are way above our ability to figure them out, and even when He chooses to tell us why/how He does the things He does, we still can’t comprehend much of it. One of the most startling truths about God’s plan to include Jews and Gentiles in the one body of the church is that God’s unfolding plan to do so is actually a way that He teaches the principalities and powers in heavenly places!

Ephesians 3:5-7

A careful reading of the Old Testament reveals God’s heart to reach all people, not only the people of Israel. What was not clear to Old Testament saints was God’s shocking plan to combine the Jews and Gentiles together as one body—the church! There would be no distinction to status level; they would be fellow heirs of all God has promised to grant by His grace to all who put their faith in Jesus Christ, Jew or Gentile. The gospel would be the key to unlocking the door for everybody!

Ephesians 3:1-4

Paul refused to play the victim! He viewed his seemingly negative circumstances as yet another validation of God’s plan for his life to bring the gospel to the Gentile world. He wanted his Gentile readers to know that God was even then unfolding an intricate and strategic plan to spread Christ's message to the entire world. Far from being hindered by Roman imprisonment, Paul was instead captured by Christ and positioned to advance the gospel even further!

Nehemiah 11-12

From the series "When God Interrupts Your Life"

Ephesians 2:15-22

Jesus died so that salvation could be a reality for everyone—Jews and Gentiles alike. The “middle wall of partition” has been torn down, and all who come to Jesus by faith have equal standing at His cross. Those that were afar off (Gentiles) and those that were nigh (Jews) can now join the family of God as one new man and be the one body of Jesus together!
