In this sermon that I recently shared at Faith Christian Fellowship in Williamsport, MD, I broke down Ephesians 1:15-23. Some of the topics that I discussed that may appeal to apologists include: 1) the correct definition of biblical faith 2) why believers must cultivate the life of the mind 3) the role of the Holy Spirit in study 4) how to share the gospel clearly.
Enjoy!
Courage and Godspeed,
Chad

The Cap
Although he is OK, I would refer to Douglas Moo as more of the authority on the Scripture. He is very good and works us though this Passage very well.
I also have some great information Here: https://www.groggbible.com/eph_115-23/
What do you think?
Anyway, I liked your sermon.
