Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 8 – Called Unto Holiness (Ephesians 1:4) God has chosen us before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him. Yet too many of us don't understand what it means to be holy and blameless. In this expositional study of Ephesians 1:4, Nathan Johnson examines these two concepts and discusses three aspects of what it means to be made holy and blameless IN Christ Jesus.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 3 – The Bulging Left Bicep This is the third installment in Eric’s series entitled The Muscular Christian. In this episode he addresses the perception the world has of Christians and how that often controls the behavior of the believer, though a Christian should be wholly immune to such nonsense. A Christian is intended by God to function independent of public opinion polls and wholly dependent upon the good opinion of God alone.  And when a Christian selects the applause of heaven over that of this world, he/she instantly becomes a singular threat to the Kingdom of Darkness.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 2 – The Faces of Lions This is the second installment in Eric’s series entitled The Muscular Christian. In this episode he addresses the imperative of every Christian gaining a battle cry in their soul - a feistiness in their spiritual man that causes them to stand when everyone else stays seated and speak when everyone else remains silent.

Speaker: Philip HartmanSeries: Names of GodStudy: 4 – Yahweh (LORD) In this study on the Names of God, Philip Hartman examines the most used Name of God in Scripture: Yahweh.

Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Names of GodStudy: 3 – Jehovah Rapha (The Lord Who Heals) God loves to heal – not just physically but also emotionally, mentally, and foremost spiritually. In this study on the names of God, Nathan Johnson examines the Name "Jehovah Rapha" and explains that not only God heals, but how He longs to bring forth healing in our lives through the life and death of Jesus Christ.

Speaker: Dan McConnaugheySeries: Names of GodStudy: 2 – Qanna (Jealous) Though we often see jealousy in a negative light, God reveals Himself as a jealous God (Exodus 20:5). One of His Names is "jealousy" – the Hebrew word "qanna". In this series on the Names of God, Dan McConaughey talks about jealousy and why God being jealous is actually a good thing.

Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 7 – You Are Chosen! (Ephesians 1:4) We can easily think of being chosen as the last pick in a game for kids – we line up against the wall, hoping that we won't be the last pick. But Paul tells us that God has chosen us for Himself even before the foundation of the world. In other words, you were not his last pick, but rather the thought upon His mind, even before He spoke: "let there be light." This choosing is both personal and with a divine purpose – to become like the One who chose us. In this expositional study of Ephesians, Nathan Johnson investigates Ephesians 1:4 and the implications of being chosen by God.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Muscular ChristianStudy: 1 – Fortified This is the first installment in Eric’s series on The Muscular Christian. In this episode, he tackles the issue of spiritual fortification and discusses how the protection of the believing life works in Jesus Christ. Eric walks through his personal journey to both learn and gain this critical component to functional Christian living.

In this reprise episode, Dan McConnaughey talks about spiritual awareness and our need to be "left of bang" – and as an unexpected bonus, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the session … giving Dan a great illustration of "bang". Using physical warfare as a lens to view our spiritual warfare, Dan explains that we either give the enemy too much credit and don't live as true believers in the circumstances God has allowed in our lives, or we fail to see and handle the breaches that leave a door open to the enemy. As Christians, we must live alert, ready, and prepared.
