429: The Gustav Line // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 62 (Eric Ludy) Speaker: Eric Ludy Series: Spiritual Lessons from WW2 Study: 62: The Gustav Line   This is the sixty-second installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual lessons from WW2. In this episode he pits us in the winter months of 1944 against Hitler’s impassable mountain fortifications known as the Gustav Line. No matter how hard the allied troops tried, they just couldn't bust through this line. How often our own spiritual lives parallel this painful Italian campaign. However, there is a key to breaking through this line, but it is different than any of the troops at that time would have guessed.  

428: The Lingering Question (Ephesians 2:11-22) // Ephesians Bible Study 49 (Nathan Johnson)Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 49 – The Lingering Question (Ephesians 2:11-22) Throughout Scripture we hear of God choosing one man (Abraham) whose family becomes a nation (Israel) – yet in the New Testament there is a lingering question: as Gentiles are becoming Christians, where are their place in the “family of God”? In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul not only answers this lingering question but also showcases the power of God within the Church, the Body of Christ. In this expositional sermon, Nathan Johnson gives an overview of Ephesians 2:11-22 and talks about the profundity of the Cross in bringing the Gentiles into the family and Kingdom of God.

In this episode he brings us back to Italy in late 1943 and explores the spiritual parallel between Benito Mussolini’s extraordinary escape from prison and ominous return to Italian power with the struggles many believers face in coming to Christ and finding their old life yearning to pull a coup d’état and to once again rule the body it once held hostage.

In this expositional sermon, Nathan Johnson explores joy and how we as Christians can live every moment rejoicing despite our circumstances or situations.

Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: Ephesians Bible StudyStudy: 48 – What Comes Out of Your Life? – Created For Good Works (Ephesians 2:10) After declaring we are God's "workmanship" (poetry), Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:10 that we were created in Christ Jesus for "good works."

In this expositional sermon, Nathan examines this passage and explains that the good works Paul refers to is not about a list of activities or "dos and don'ts" but rather is the life and love of Christ Himself.
