Some of the sermons in the series are stand-alone messages preached at various times and various places. The early sermons from 30-35 years ago are not…

Eph. 2:11-22
Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for Freedom in Christ Reconciliation Between Enemies Is Possible SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: In the first half of Ephesians 2 the Apostle describes his audience as those who were dead in their trespasses and sins, who followed the ways of this world and of its ruler, Satan, who gratified the cravings of their sinful natures, and who were objects of wrath. That is an apt description of the status of every human being before God’s love and…

Spiritual Warfare: The Battle for Freedom in Christ Why Be An Ordinary Christian? Speaker: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great English Baptist preacher of a century ago, said, “There is a point in the experience of the committed Christian which is as much above the experience of the ordinary Christian as the experience of the ordinary Christian is above the experience of the man who is not a Christian at all.” Think about that for a moment. Chances are your initial reaction…

Walking in Wisdom … With Your Spouse SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: This sermon was preached at First Free in Wichita in 2013. Introduction: It is my privilege and responsibility to teach this morning from Ephesians 5–on a section entitled in most versions, “Wives and Husbands.” I have a personal appeal, that the husbands would focus on what Paul is saying to them, and the wives would focus on what is addressed to them. That is the only way any of us are going to really…
