1353: The Submission Commission (Eph. 5:21) // Gospel Shaped 10 (Nathan Johnson)

About this episode

Nathan Johnson discusses the concept of submission in Ephesians 5:21 and its significance as evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

In Ephesians 5:18–21, Paul describes the evidence and reality of being filled with the Holy Spirit with four aspects: worship and praise (internally and corporately), thanksgiving, and submission. In this study, Nathan dives into Ephesians 5:21 and discusses the concept of submission, why it is evidence of being filled with the Spirit, and what it looks like practically in the lives of believers. ------------ » Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Nathan, Eric, Leslie, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/ » Receive our free “ Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty ” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/ » For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily » If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/ » Discover more Christ-centered teaching and resources from Nathan Johnson that will help you grow spiritually by checking out his website at: https://deeperchristian.com/
