Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 11 – Predestined Unto Adoption (Ephesians 1:5) One of the tremendous blessings we have in Christ Jesus is that through Christ, by the pre-determined decision and purpose of God, we have been adopted as children of God. As powerful as an illustration adoption in our modern-day is of what God has done for us, Paul's use of the Roman concept of adoption gives a greater depth and clarity to the robust demonstration of God's adoption of us as His children. In this expositional study, Nathan Johnson examines Ephesians 1:5 and God's determined purpose to predestine us unto adoption as heirs of the King.

Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 10 – In Love (Ephesians 1:4-5) Scholars argue whether the phrase "in love" goes with the statement made in Ephesians 1:4 ("you were chosen before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him IN LOVE") or whether it refers to God's position in predestining us unto adoption in Ephesians 1:5. In this expositional study in Ephesians, Nathan Johnson discusses this dilemma and gives his conclusion … and in so doing discusses what it means for God to always act from a nature of love and calls us to do the same.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 10 – Tireless This is the 10th installment in Eric’s series entitled The Muscular Christian. In this oft-funny episode, Eric very particularly tackles the issue of handling sleep. There are certain defining areas of life and sleep is one of them. When a man is controlled by his craving for sleep, his walk with God suffers. But when he allows God to bring control and discipline to his sleep, it transcends into every area of his life - bringing vitality and strength.

Singing and whistling are often a show contentment and a buoyant spirit.  And this is why a Christian should continue to whistle even when life’s circumstances sour - because in the midst of such trials God never leaves and never forsakes. In this message, Eric examines the story of Elijah in the book of 1st Kings and powerfully demonstrates how Elijah “continued to whistle” in and amongst some of the most trying situations in Scripture.
