019 Don‘t Steal but Work to Give

Paul tells us that we are to put away stealing and work with our hands so that we can give. This gives us a new perspective on work realizing that we are honoring God through work and helping others. 

018 Don‘t Invite the Devil to Dinner

Paul tells us not to give place to the devil. What does this mean? The battle is in our minds and we should not entertain thought that go against the Word of God. 

017 Strive to be Angry

Paul's command to be angry and sin no contains an imperative, that is to be angry. Anger is often abused and most of the time we get too angry. However God has given us the emotion of anger so that we can take action. 

016 Tell the Truth

We need to put off lying and tell the truth. Ephesians 4:25 is in an important principle for us to learn.

Ephesians 4:17-24 Paul talks about one of the most important principles regarding the Christian walk, putting off the old man and putting on the new man. 

014 Strive to Use Your Gifts

013 EP Strive for Unity

Paul pleads with us to walk a walk that is worthy of our calling. What are we called to do? We care called to so all we can to preserve unity in the church. Ephesians 4:1-7

012 EP Flowing from the inside out

Paul tells us to let Christ dwell in our hearts by faith. It is when the love of Christ dwells in our hearts that we are able to understand His power that can do great things in our lives. Ephesians 3:14-21

Provoked by the persecuted church

Christians and Afghanistan are fearing for their lives. Yet we are afraid to witness when we are not facing any persecution. God had a message to the church in Smyrna that should provoke us to live for Jesus and appreciate our freedoms while we still have them.
