Walk in Wisdom

Jim Leffel

Ephesians 5:15-20

Walking in the light includes carefully practicing wisdom. Wisdom is practical godly insight, developing and applying knowledge. Wisdom seizes the moment and redeems time. There are several ways to use wisdom to advance God's work: letting the Spirit control us, having content-rich fellowship, driving God's truth into the heart, having gratitude, and letting God's counsel come to us through other believers.

The believer's new way of living is set inside a framework of grace.

The Purpose-Centered Life: Why Was I Put on This Earth?

Jim Leffel

Ephesians 1-3

The letter to the Ephesians explores what it means to have a purpose. It argues that humans were not created by accident, but instead are called by God. Each individual's calling is unique in type and direction, and believers realize their callings best in the context of the body of Christ.

The Body of Christ

Dennis McCallum

Philippians 2:2

What is the Body of Christ? What does it look like? Jesus emphasizes the importance of believers being unified with himself and each other. To accomplish this, believers must take an active role in developing these important relationships. The early church devoted themselves to spending time with each other, studying God's word, and prayer. This significantly impacted their individual spiritual lives as well as the health and growth of the church.\r\n

Spiritually Compromised Relationships

Gary DeLashmutt

2 Corinthians 6:11-7:3

Paul urges the Corinthians to abstain from relationships that involve compromise to their commitment and witness for Christ. Common forms of spiritual compromise include forbidden religious practices, romantic relationships, business relationships, and family or friends. God's solution to these types of compromised relationships is to remember who we are in Christ. As we learn to build deep and healthy relationships with other committed Christians, we can spare ourselves misery by avoiding getting entangled in compromised relationships.
