How are followers of Jesus to live in the modern world? When we come to faith in Jesus, some big decisions are put before us. Who are we to spend time with? What things are we to do? Not do? It can get overwhelming! Listen in today as we learn from Paul in Ephesians what it looks like to live wisely. He puts three beautiful images before us to help us - imitation, shining, singing.
The Seasoning of the Kingdom (Colossians 4:2-6)
We can all probably think of some of our favorite foods and meals we've had in life. Is it just the ingredients that make them special or rich, or is it more so about the seasoning that accompanies them? Listen in today as we apply that same logic to some of the core practices (or "ingredients") of the Kingdom of God, and learn from Paul what flavor-filled seasoning brings those practices to life.
What To Do When Lack Comes (James 1:5-8)
"I don't know what to do!" How many times have you said or thought that? Feeling that we are lacking wisdom or not being sure what to do is a feeling all of us share in common. But the Bible lovingly trumpets a hopeful tune - that there is a God who is not only wise, but generous in dispensing it to a weary world lacking in wisdom. Listen in to today's sermon as we learn 3 beautiful character traits of God and then 3 gracious practical take-aways of what to do when we don't know what to do.
