Dividing Gentile from Jew, Paul reminds the Gentile believers in Ephesians 2:11-22 that originally they had no share in God's people, or hope of knowing God in the world, but that now through Christ's sacrifice, a new kind of man was born, one in which Gentiles are fellow citizens with God's people. ...

Ephesians 2:1-10 exposes the true spiritual nature of man without Christ-walking, living, breathing here on earth, but in the spirit, objects of God's wrath.

Following directly on from the Preach the Word series, this series takes seriously Peter’s admonishment in 1 Peter 4:12-19, that we be not surprised at abuse we might receive from the ungodly for our godly living, but that rather the attitudes of our hearts towards suffering for Christ’ name be changed to one of rejoicing. ...

This series is a practical step by step walk through what it means to repent from recalcitrant sin that won’t let go of us so that we might come back into step with the Spirit.
