Choose The Right Outfit (Ephesians 4:17-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025

Every day, we wake up, and choose whether we will put on our old way of life-- the ratty, stained, lifestyle-- or if we'll put on the new clothing of righteousness. Choose the clean clothing.

I'd like to start today by giving a quick overview of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, up to this point. At this point in history, God has now revealed his once secret plan for all of his creation. Paul describes this plan using three different metaphors. The first, is that God is ...read more

4 Aspects Of The New Way Of Life (Ephesians 4:25-5:2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 23, 2025

Paul gives four examples, illustrative, not exhaustive, of what this new life/shirt/road in Christ looks like. Specifics, of what God is looking for in a worthy walk.

Over the last couple of weeks, we've seen Paul starting to pull his entire argument in Ephesians together. God is in the process of creating one holy family, who will live in peace with Him and with each other. Or we can say, God is in the process of creating one holy body-- one person-- with ...read more

Getting Free From Unforgiveness

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025

Forgiveness cancels hidden debts, breaks Satan’s claim, restores compassion, and lets God’s grace and healing flood every relationship and heart.

Introduction I’m delighted this morning to share what the Lord has been teaching me. The Lord often teaches me through what He’s doing in my own life—and that, I’ve found, is the best way to learn. Let’s begin with the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as ...read more

Fired Up: From Anger To Action

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Anger shows up—on the road, at home, at work. Psalm 37 teaches us not to “burn” (fret) but to trust, wait, and do good. The bible distinguishes anger that seeks justice from anger that seeks control. Trust God’s justice, practice meekness, and pursue peace in Christ.

Road Rage Let me ask you a simple question: “When was the last time you got angry?” Maybe it was this morning when that driver cut you off in traffic. Maybe it was last night when your teenage kid rolled their eyes at you one too many times. Or maybe you’re angry right now about something deeper - ...read more

A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025

This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more
