    In the Bible, God tells us that WE have ‘role models’ too. In 2 Thessalonians 3:9 Paul says that he & his friends made an effort to be “models for you to follow.” And Paul repeated that idea many times for those early Christians:

    The Black Of Sin Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,030 views

However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

    The passage deals with immorality that shouldn’t be named or practiced among the believers at Ephesus, I want to emphasize that the scripture should not be burdened with baggage that it is often saddled with

    Background to passage: It’s been a while since we have been in Ephesians, so a quick overview. First three chapters are deeply theological about Christ’s role in our salvation and in the life of the church. Last three chapters are very practical.
