Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 9 – Holiness Nose-to-Nose (Ephesians 1:4) Paul tells us in Ephesians 1:4 that we have been chosen before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless BEFORE HIM. Interestingly, this statement "before Him" not only reveals our sinful condition but also gives the solution – that the only way we can live holy, blameless lives is to get nose-to-nose with God Himself … for it is in embracing the Holy One that we find ourselves holy. This is not a call to legalism or to certain activities as much as it is to become different – to have a different nature – which will change everything in our lives. Join Nathan Johnson in this expositional study in the blessings of God found in Ephesians chapter one.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 7 – The Awkward Zone This is the seventh installment in Eric’s series entitled The Muscular Christian.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 5 – Intrepid This is the fifth installment in Eric's series entitled The Muscular Christian.  In this episode he discusses the oft-misunderstood concept of patience.  Patience to many Christians today is a soft and pretty virtue expressed by not complaining when delayed.  This lands miles apart from the Biblical rendition of patience. Patience, according to the New Testament and the annals of Christian history, is what has carried Christians throughout the ages though the most difficult of circumstances - to sing in prison cells, to rejoice in sufferings, to smile amidst danger, and to die with gusto. Oh, for the return of this ancient and powerful buoyancy of soul!

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 4 – Grit This is the fourth installment in Eric’s series entitled The Muscular Christian. In this episode Eric addresses the issue of cowardice so prevalent today in the Church. Many Christians attempt to address the daunting issues of spiritual obedience with natural power and gritted teeth only to find impotence in action. That is due to the fact that issues of spiritual obedience demand the exercise of supernatural courage and the gritted teeth of faith. No matter the challenges, God’s grace is sufficient to make up the difference that lies between man’s lack and God’s high calling.
