  • Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 2

    Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 2

    In Ephesians 2, after glorifying Christ as the one far above all rule and authority and power and dominion–noting that Jesus has all these in the present tense, Paul shares the Gospel. If we read Ephesians 1 before we read Ephesians 2, which seems to make perfect sense as a way to read, we see…

    Personal Revival in Psalm 119: Thinking About What It Means to Feel Alive Again

    The worship of our lives is seeking after God’s ways rather than our own. We learn that God’s ways are better because our ways typically cause great hardship and tribulation.

    God is Building Something

    In Ephesians 1, Paul writes about the unconditional love of God in Christ.

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 2:11-16

    Therefore, because God is making dead people alive in a way that excludes human boasting in self, the saints remember that they were at one time separated from Christ. We were excluded from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hop and without God in this world. Since it…

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 2:1-10

    After praying that the saints may grow in all wisdom and knowledge, that their eyes of their hearts may be enlightened, Paul writes of their wretchedness. They were, past tense because they are not in Christ, dead in their trespasses and sins. When we speak of our wretched estate and that of those in our…

    Are People Basically Good?

    This morning, I want to ask a couple of questions. What do you think is the condition of every person? What is our nature? What is the most basic truth of our own existence? Our answer to these questions is going to determine the way that we see and treat others and it reveals much…
