Submitting to One Another

Scott Risley

Ephesians 5:21-6:8

As Christians, we are called to submit to one another. Paul explores the relationships within a traditional household and how they should interact with each other: Husbands, wives, children, slaves, and masters are all called to respect one another. Many throughout history have abused this passage and used it in support of slavery or the oppression of women. Further examination shows that this is not the case and the Bible was especially progressive for its time.

Christian Euphoria

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 5:18-20

While the Bible prohibits drunkenness, God does not discourage pleasure. Euphoria and ecstasy do have a place in the Christian life, but it is not the most important thing to spiritual people. Real ecstasy comes from the spiritual side of life; through thanksgiving, relationships, and seeing God changing people's lives.

Glory

Lee Campbell

John 17:1-24

The Father glorifies Jesus by making him king; Jesus glorifies God by giving eternal life. Self-glory blinds us to God's glory, ruins relationships, and steals glory from God. God's glory results in an eternal relationship with God and an eternal relationship with others.

Balancing Home Life and Ministry

Patrice McCormac

John 17:1-24

When kids come into the picture, the temptation to decrease our involvement in ministry and fellowship raises immensely. In order to guard our own hearts from falling into this temptation that our culture feeds, we must recognize why we involve ourselves with ministry in the first place. It makes us better parents, it models healthy relating (both to people and to God) to our children, it teaches our kids valuable lessons, and ultimately it is because of the great joy of being made new in Christ! With this understanding, we can equip ourselves with some practical suggestions for how to schedule our lives in such a way that we minister to both our families and to the others God has placed before us.
