Ephesians 6: Submit to Resist

This sermon reflects on Ephesians 6, emphasising the themes of submission, unity, and spiritual warfare. It starts with a review of previous sermons in the series, highlighting the importance of being in Christ and living wisely. Ps Jon then delves into the concept of submission, drawing parallels between military submission and biblical submission within relationships and the body of Christ.

The sermon emphasises that true submission is voluntary and stems from understanding God’s authority. It discusses the challenges and misconceptions surrounding submission, particularly in relationships like husbands and wives. Ps Jon stresses the need for mutual submission and creating a safe environment for honest communication and growth.

The latter part of the sermon focuses on the armour of God, emphasising that our strength and readiness come from being under God’s authority and standing united as believers. It encourages the congregation to be teachable, trustworthy, and supportive of one another, ready to resist spiritual opposition and fulfil God’s calling as a unified body.
