Dead in Sin - Ephesians 2:1 8:48

for 5 weeks siden8:48

8:48

In this devotional look at Ephesians, we cover the controversial statement from Paul about all people being dead in sin. Paul was careful and purposeful with his words, so we're forced to ask, "What does it mean to be dead in sin, and why does it matter?" As we look at this verse, we will find that Paul's diagnosis is helpful and practical for our walk of faith.

Why Thinking Matters in the Christian Life 14:19

for 2 years siden14:19

14:19

Using our minds intentionally is an often overlooked aspect of the Christian life. It doesn't rank high on the scale of importance for many Christians. In this episode, we consider the many reasons thinking should take a prominent role in the life of faith. There are also dangers to watch out for: pride from within, and the outside influence of the world. These dangers should cause us to embrace careful biblically shaped thought instead of driving us away from thinking intentionally about God, the gospel, and how to live the Christian life.
