In this eighth installment of our series on Ephesians, we cover Ephesians 5:1-14. We discuss how Paul was warning us of the danger of falling into our temptations and lustful desires. how is it that we as young Christians can avoid falling into traps the devil may have for us?   

We also touch on what it means to be walking in the light, and how as believers we are to avoid the darkness, and bring people along with us into the light.
