    36th in a series from Ephesians. Why it is so important to put off falsehood in the church.

    Last week we saw that Paul described how those who are followers of Jesus Christ are to dress the part based on who they already are in Him.

    We can have the same confidence of God’s love for us that John had when he acknowledged that he was "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Jn 13:23).

    “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” John 13:23 If you were to guess, what do you think is the one thing in life a person wants more than anything else? Fame, wealth, beauty, status, power, position? I would argue that while a lot of people think that any one of, or a combination of, these would make ...read more
