Session 1 – "Without Christ" – Ephesians 2:12 – Lesson 76

Sermon Audio
Overhead Presentations / Pastoral Notes:

Ephesians 2:11 – Greek / Literal Translation
Review: If our salvation could be by works, there would be something about which we could boast. MANKIND CANNOT BE SAVED BY ANYTHING MAN CAN DO. We are all imperfect and sinful. Our works, thoughts and deeds are imperfect, but God is PERFECT. Even though we are saved, many of us tend to bring false standards and concepts into the Christian life. Such was the case for saved Jews who brought many false ideas concerning circumcision, addressed in verse 11. Peritome is the Greek word meaning “cut around”, translated circumcision, presenting the concept whereby Christians are warned not to bring into the Christian life the false and superficial standards of the pre-salvation days. As believers, we must study and know what the Word of God says, continually gaining the ability to properly use memory of these true concepts, in application to this life.

Overhead Presentations / Pastoral Notes:

Promises From God
Ephesians 2:12 – Greek / Literal Translation / Ephesians 2:12 Smooth Translation
This hope in verse 12, or future expectation, is God’s plan for our salvation, victory in time and blessings in eternity. This is the concept of hope 1, hope 2, and hope 3.
This is a reference to the doctrines of positional sanctification, experiential sanctification, and ultimate sanctification.
Romans 8:28 - Hope1 + Hope2 = Hope3 / Romans 8:28 – Greek / Literal Translation
Ephesians 2:12 – Hope
Look back at Ephesians 1:18: “The eyes of your understanding having been enlightened that you may know what is the HOPE (Confident Expectation) (Permanent Knowledge) of the calling, what (is) the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints"
Romans 8:25 – Hope

Session 1 – "No Room for Boasting" – Ephesians 2:9 – Lesson 73

Sermon Audio
Reading – Ephesians 2:8-11
Overhead Presentations / Pastoral Notes:

Ephesians 2:9 – Greek / Literal Translation
Strong negative adverb OUK, with the vowel beginning letter of the next word ERGON, emphasizes the strength of the fact that our works have absolutely nothing to do with salvation. If it could be by works, there would be something about which we could boast. The middle voice, and subjunctive mood for boast means that such boasting would be from a position of weakness.

Session 2 – "Grace Produces in the Believer's Life" – Ephesians 2:10 – Lesson 74

Sermon Audio
Overhead Presentations / Pastoral Notes:

Ephesians 2:10 – Greek / Literal Translation
Post positive conjunctive particle gar is translated first in the verse, but occurs in the Greek text as the second word, following autou, “He”
"For you are his creation (production) ktizo (to make or create, to reduce from a state of disorder)". Grace found us spiritually dead, a state of disorder, and God did something about it. In Ephesians 2:2, grace found us under the control of the Old Sin Nature, in a state of disorder, and God has provided the solution to this. He is in control of the production.
In verse 10, we see that He has pre-fabricated the solution to our states of disorder! This is HIS production, HIS workmanship, created at a point of time in the past.
Create means to produce from an existing foundation; God always builds upon His own foundation, not ours. He has pre-fabricated the production, and if we want it, we can make use of pre-designed production. We are HIS workmanship, HIS product, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God previously prepared in order that in them we might walk.
Proetoimazo – means that God has pre-fabricated our ability to walk in the Works of the Spirit. We have the pattern of life, the Grace Abounding Life.
The Word Walk in the New Testament
Review Ephesians 2:10 – Greek / Literal Translation
The subjunctive mood in the verb peripateo means that we may or may not choose to accept the plan of God – to have a pattern of walking in HIS good works.

Some false concepts in the minds of people before salvation tend to be carried over into the minds of the believer after salvation; these sometimes try to push these false concepts onto others.
