Series: Ephesians Bible Study
Study: 10 – In Love (Ephesians 1:4-5)

Scholars argue whether the phrase "in love" goes with the statement made in Ephesians 1:4 ("you were chosen before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him IN LOVE") or whether it refers to God's position in predestining us unto adoption in Ephesians 1:5. In this expositional study in Ephesians, Nathan Johnson discusses this dilemma and gives his conclusion … and in so doing discusses what it means for God to always act from a nature of love and calls us to do the same.

Study: 10 – Tireless

This is the 10th installment in Eric’s series entitled The Muscular Christian. In this oft-funny episode, Eric very particularly tackles the issue of handling sleep. There are certain defining areas of life and sleep is one of them. When a man is controlled by his craving for sleep, his walk with God suffers. But when he allows God to bring control and discipline to his sleep, it transcends into every area of his life - bringing vitality and strength.

Singing and whistling are often a show contentment and a buoyant spirit.  And this is why a Christian should continue to whistle even when life’s circumstances sour - because in the midst of such trials God never leaves and never forsakes. In this message, Eric examines the story of Elijah in the book of 1st Kings and powerfully demonstrates how Elijah “continued to whistle” in and amongst some of the most trying situations in Scripture.
