Bad communication can quietly rob us of the strong, healthy relationships God desires for us. In this lesson from Ephesians 4:25–32, we examine common communication problems that damage relationships and discover biblical principles for speaking with truth, grace, kindness, and forgiveness.

The path chosen and the voices followed determine whether a life becomes rooted, fruitful, and blessed by God or ultimately ends in destruction.

The Christian’s rules of engagement are to flee temptation, pursue Christlike character, fight the good fight of faith, and never lose sight of the King we serve.

Bro. Mason speaks of Paul’s Witness, Weariness, Willingness, and his Weakness.

A better Savior produces a better life as Christ transforms our relationships, our homes, and our contentment through His faithful presence. 

Jealousy can undermine even the strongest relationships unless we are careful to guard against it. The blessings of God and successes in the lives of others should be a cause for rejoicing, but often we find ourselves resenting what they have and wishing we could have it for ourselves instead. Faith looks at God first before it looks at others. When hard times come into our lives, or when good things come into others’ lives, we are to trust in Him. God knows what He is doing, and He never makes mistakes.

Persistent prayer flows from a close relationship with God that causes us to continually seek and depend upon Him.

True contentment is found when we stop looking to money, possessions, or circumstances to satisfy us and recognize that Jesus Christ is enough.

We can never reach God through our own goodness, but through Jesus Christ we are welcomed into His presence and given a kingdom that can never be shaken.
