    Paul as we say in the south chases a rabbit of huge importance. He tells of the central importance of the church in God's plan to reveal His wisdom in the Gospel. Then Paul prays that the church will practically live what God has divinely designed.

    Intro: Paul was just getting ready to pray for the Ephesian church when he was reminded of the importance of the church and as preachers are often known to do he chases a rabbit.

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 11, 2016
     | 5,265 views

    Jesus offers us a costly freedom from our enslavement to sin. It cost his life and ours. When we live obedient lives, we learn the truth of God and enjoy his freedom. The proof of our discipleship is seen by what we "put off" and "put on" in our lives.
