Paul reminds Believers of their prior alienation from God and His people, and what Christ has done to reconcile them to God and one another.

This passage starts out by describing the walking dead who are corrupted by sin but ends with an amazing reversal. We are saved by grace! January Bible Study 2023

Our Spiritual Health depends upon the strength of our relationship with God.

In this prayer of thanksgiving and intercession, Paul expresses gratitude to God for the Ephesian Believers, and he prays for them to grow in their knowledge of God and in their awareness of all they have in Christ, who is over all. Winter Bible Study 2023.

Ephesians contains rich theology (telling us how to think) and wise practical guidance (telling us how to live). Paul writes to the Ephesian Believers to strengthen their faith by reminding them of their union with Christ.

It is so easy to lose sight of God in our lives. Many seem to approach their spiritual lives in a very haphazard way.

We can face life's turning points with confidence that the Lord has intervened in the past and is able to do it again.

Not your typical Christmas Day message, but a message to help remind us of the Gift God has given us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sometimes the best way to answer a question, is by providing all the wrong answers as an observation. Who will be there?

There was no room! No room for Jesus, what a sad statement. No room for God's Son, God's Gift, God's Promise, God's Provision, and no room for God's Love gift to all.

When we think about the inquiry of King Herod of the whereabouts of the birth of the Messiah, you could almost start asking a very simple question. Why didn't the religious leaders become curious about the request? Are we in danger of being indifferent to Jesus too?

Serving the Lord is a joy we can experience now and it will prepare us for serving Him in eternity.

Starting with the missed opportunities of that first Christmas, people have been missing opportunities to celebrate the birth of Christ ever since.

It would be tragic to leave Jesus out of Christmas, yet we get so busy and so focused on things we forget about what is important. That's what happened the first Christmas, and the same has been happening ever since.

One day there will be a great reunion for all of the people of God.

Let's be thankful that God is still at work in the lives of people.

The True Believers can be assured that they are going to be with the Lord when death occurs.

The Word of God is living and perfect.

Elijah shows us what unwavering loyalty to God looks like.

Heaven, how the thoughts should flood our minds of the place the Lord has prepared for the Believer.

Three principles that all believers can rely on in a time of chaos and those are victory, hope and joy.

For the Believer this may be a question, but at the same time we understand that by Faith we accept what God tells us about this wonderful place.

In verse five we see the word Consecrate. Consecrate means "to set apart for God's use and God's service".

How we live reveals what we truly believe about God.

God is going to make a new heaven someday. Actually He will make all things new.

God is persistent in His calling, from the very beginning all through till the end the Call of God rings to a lost world.

How many people claim to be Believers, truly believe the Bible - The Word of God?

Heaven, where God Himself shall be with us and be our God.

These days few homes are sending well-adjusted young people into adulthood, and the Church is not holding up it's end of the task either.

The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart!
