thisliminalstate

Ephesians 5-22-38 (MP3 File for download) Ephesians 5:21-33 Before we get into this text, I want to remind us all of something very important that I brought out several weeks ago that plays a huge role in our study today. That is this. If you are drawing your identity from any other source than Jesus Christ, you are drawing it from the wrong place. So as I was confessing that I had fallen into that trap with people’s compliments, and critiques of me, I wasn’t saying that they were wrong, or that I didn’t want them, what I was saying was … Continue reading Ephesians 5:22-33 “He Said WHAT?!”
