The Full Armour of God and the action it enables

August 22, 2021 by 2

22 August 2021 is the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Over the past few weeks, the main Scripture has been from the Apostle Paul’s New Testament letter to the Ephesians. This week we are up to Ephesians, Chapter 6, Verses 10-20. “The Full Armour of God”.

Ephesians 6:10-20 (New International Version)
The Armour of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Facing head-on the sense of eternity that God has placed in our hearts

August 15, 2021 by 2

Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, from the New Testament, again provides the main source for this week’s service and sermon – 15 August 2021 – the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost.

Looking again at matters of time – the Greek word kairos makes a return – Rev. Geoff McKee considers time management issues for Christians and what we can do the ensure we are making the most of our lives from God’s perspective.

Below, you will find the main scripture for this week, the video service with prayes, songs and the sermon from Geoff. We conclude with a Musical Selection chosed by our organist and Musical Director, Katherine Robertson.

Main reading for this week

Ephesians 5:15-20 (New International Version)
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
