WGOD Radio: All Truth, All the Time.
WGOD Radio, with Dr. Paul W. Esposito is produced by Stauros Ministries of Merritt Island, Fl. We teach the New Testament verse by verse through a daily, 30 minute radio broadcast and podcast.
 

We continue our look at husband/wife attitudes and relationships, as well as children/fathers.

Ephesians 5:31 - 6:4 31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and to the church. 33 Nevertheless you also individually, let each one love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respect her husband. Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise: 3 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth." 4 And fathers, do not provoke your children, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.

Today we look at the conduct of the husband and wife. Also, we are looking at how to start this new year right with God, and not have our prayers hindered. (1 Pet 3:7)

Ephesians 5:22-28 22 Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord, 23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 But just as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your own wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 in order that He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and blameless. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he that loves his own wife loves himself.

More studies on understanding what the will of the Lord is, and what it isn't.

Ephesians 5:17-21 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always concerning all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

Today we continue our verse by verse study in Ephesians. Sometimes knowing what the "will of the Lord is" is difficult--not in this verse however, or others that we will study today.

15 "See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise, but as wise,  16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."

One 36 minute sermon, divided in 2 parts, for easier listening/downloading.

Taken from 1 Cor 9:16-23

16 For if I preach the gospel, there is nothing for me to boast about, for necessity is pressed upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a commission. 18 What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ free of charge, so as not to exploit my rights in the gospel. 19 For being free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, in order that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, in order that I might win Jews; to those who are under law, as under law, in order that I might win those who are under law; 21 to those outside the law, as one outside the law (not being outside the law toward God, but subject to the law toward Christ), in order that I might win those outside the law; 22 to the weak I became as weak, in order that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the sake of the gospel, in order that I may become a partaker of it with you.

Today we look at the forerunner to the Messiah, the mysterious John the Baptist.

Certainly, as today's message makes clear, there's more to this man than meets the eye! Preached at Island Community Church on Sunday, December 19th, 2010.

This is 1 message, cut in 2 for easier download/listening. From the pulpit of Island Community Church, in Merritt Island, Florida.

Taken from 1 Corinthians 9:1-15

1 Corinthians 9:1-15 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet indeed I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink? 5 Do we not have the right to take along a wife who is a sister, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who must work for a living? 7 Who ever serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock? 8 Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say these things also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it threshes." Is it oxen God is concerned about? 10 Or does He say this altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, for it is written, that he that plows should plow in hope, and he that threshes, in hope should partake of his hope. 11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? 12 If others partake of this right over you, do not we even more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but bear all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar have a share in the altar? 14 Thus also the Lord commanded those who proclaim the gospel to live from the gospel. 15 But I used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should become thus for me; for it is better for me rather to die than that anyone should make my boasting void.
