42: Live From a New Perspective (Ephesians 1:3) // Ephesians Bible Study 5 (Nathan Johnson)
Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 5 – Live From a New Perspective (Ephesians 1:3)
As Christians, we have a dual citizenship – we live physically on this earth, but we also dwell in Christ (spiritually) in the heavenly realms. While both realities are indeed real, we are called to live with a heavenly or spiritual perspective while on this earth. In this expositional study of Ephesians 1:3, Nathan Johnson examines the concept of "heavenly realms" throughout the book of Ephesians and exhorts us to live with a new perspective despite the circumstance, difficulty, trial, or struggle we may face in the physical.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: The Gospel ToolkitStudy: 4 – Repent
This is the fourth installment in The Gospel Toolbox series that Eric is delivering every Friday morning. In this episode, entitled Repent, Eric addresses the critical position repentance holds in the new birth process. For many Christians the idea of repentance is strangely twisted and, therefore, unattractive. But, when looked at through the lens of Scripture, repentance holds a magnificent beauty - unlocking the glorious doorway in the soul to life, joy, peace, love, power and freedom.

Speaker: Eric LudySeries: Glossary of the Gospel Study: 10 – The Kite
This is the 10th installment in Eric’s series entitled The Glossary of the Gospel. This particular episode addresses the significance of three key Biblical words in the Christian discipleship process - three words that happen to also be a tripping point for many unstable believers (authority, submission, and liberty). Whereas those three words seem to be as opposite from each other as words can possibly be - they are intended by God to work together in a beautiful way to reveal the majesty of the Kingdom of Heaven.

34: The Rainbow People (Eric Ludy)
A rainbow has always been the symbol of God’s unchanging nature. That is, until recently. It seems that this grand and lustrous symbol of our covenant-keeping God has been hijacked in our modern times. But, that doesn’t change what this symbol teaches us about our God and what it also teaches about how we are supposed to live out our lives as believers. In this message Eric walks us through the revelation of God’s nature from the Burning Bush to the Cross and then parallels that with how God still reveals Himself to all us today.
