- The Apostle
Ephesians 1:1-2. In this study, we will look closely at the first two verses of Ephesians chapter one. Paul self-ascribed himself as the author of the epistle. The apostle was a fascinating man. He was a leader among the Pharisees. He was well-educated. He was likely wealthy and played a prominent role in the community. He was well known among Jews and Gentiles alike. Paul was also feared by Christians. He arrested and murdered Christ followers for the faith in Jesus. His relationship with believers changed after his conversion. He once considered Christians his enemy. After meeting Christ, they became his friends and began to recognize them as saints, those set apart and belong to God.For more information: gospelinreallife.org Contact Dr. Wright: [email protected]
39 min - DeadEphesians 2:1. "The gospel (good news) was presented to me when I was very young. It was clear. It was simple. Yet, I was unable to respond. Why? I was unable because I was spiritually dead. I tried being religious, but there was a problem. I was dead in trespasses and sins. Thus, religion was a useless pursuit. I needed more. I needed life. I needed resurrection! Thanks to God. He provided grace and mercy via Jesus. Christ was life and resurrection. He said, come forth. The grave clothes fell as Christ raised me to walk in a new life."
The Letter to the Ephesians is a powerful message chalked full of both theological and practical truth. In Season 3, Episode 1, Dr. Michael Wright explains his own salvation and provides a brief introduction to the next set lessons from Ephesians. He will unfold powerful truth about the church, marriage, parenting, family life, and spiritual warfare.

22 min - Five Gold LinksRomans 8:28-39. The Five Gold Links of Salvation include these key doctrines: Foreknowledge, Predestination, Calling, Justification, and Glorification. This will not be my last time to study and preach through this grand book, God willing. I will be referring to Romans for many years to come. I have learned much and have come to appreciate on a greater level just how wholly marvelous is our God and how wonderful is his gift of salvation; and how amazing is the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It is all there, to be discovered in the unconquerable Letter to the Romans. In this final study of Season 2, we see how Paul reveals the mystery of salvation. It is no wonder that he closes Chapter 8 with these words: "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies."For more info: https://gospelinreallife.org/ Please write: [email protected] (edited)57 min
- ForeknowledgeRomans 8:29-30. In elementary school we learn the very basics. In higher education, we learn advanced ideas. What would life be like if we were still learning the basics in high school, college, or beyond? A childhood perspective makes it seem we are in control of our salvation. As Christians study the word and advance in the truths of Scripture, it becomes apparent that salvation is solely in the hands of God. Did you know that God chose who will be saved long before he created the world? How could it be any other way? God is omniscient (all knowing). He knows all things in eternity, past, present, and future. While we cannot fully comprehend the doctrine of foreknowledge, we can in Christ acknowledge God's sovereignty over everything, including how he saves the human soul. God's Foreknowledge is the first of five links in the Gold Chain of Salvation. The other four links are Predestination, Calling, Justification, and Glorification. Dr. Michael Wright explains the truth of Foreknowledge in this episode of Gospel in Real Life. Enjoy!For more info: https://gospelinreallife.org/ Please write: [email protected]45 min
- Image of ChristRomans 8:28. Paul says, "We know." Christians possess knowledge that pain has a divine purpose. Suffering is used to conform Christians into the image of Jesus Christ. Three well-known examples of suffering in Scripture are Joseph, Job, and Peter. Joseph was mistreated by his brothers. Job was misunderstood by his friends. Peter was mystified by his own behavior. All three suffered. Yet, all three were used by powerfully by God. For the believer in Christ, pain has a purpose and is used wonderfully by God to conform Christians into the image of Jesus Christ.

44 min - SufferingRomans 8:18-28. Suffering is defined as a state of pain – mental, emotional, and physical. Pain can and does affect our relationships with God, others, and even self. When our relationships are fractured, suffering becomes circular and multiplied. Since humans will not escape suffering and pain cannot be avoided, what is a right response? In this episode, Dr. Michael Wright explains that pain, from a biblical perspective, is necessary and works for good for those who love God and are called to his purpose.

44 min - "Abba Father"Romans 8:12-17. Prior to conversion, humans are slaves to sin and death. People are not able to not sin. They must pay homage to the flesh which controls thoughts and actions. Thanks to God, when Christ redeems the lost, they are indwelled by the Spirit of God and are empowered to choose not to sin. Because they are in Christ, believers now owe nothing to the flesh, even though lust calls again and again. Even more, believers are sons (and daughters) of God and are heirs of Christ. The witness of the Spirit in the heart of the Christian says that "we are children of God." While new life in Christ conflicts with the lost culture, subsequent suffering with Christ brings glory to the Lord and a promise of a glorious future with him.

42 min - No CondemnationRomans 8:1-11. Humanity in the first century was in a mess. We see this in the Letter to the Romans. Being totally transparent, Paul journaled, "Who will deliver me from this body of death?" That is a great question for humanity in the twenty-first century. Who will save us? As Paul wrote, we can confidently testify, "Thanks be to God…Jesus Christ our Lord!" That is why the apostle declared, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." As a believer, we are new in Christ, but we still struggle in the physical body to do what is right. However, Jesus does not condemn us. He does not punish our struggle, but encourages us to keep on going. He provides his power and presence while we fight the good fight. Since believers are "in Christ" all things are possible. All things are new. There is no condemnation.

40 min - The StruggleHuman rebellion stirs God's wrath which had led to God's judgment. God's judgement is not fire from heaven (like we see in the OT). Rather, it is seen in the fact that man cannot keep from sinning. He is addicted to sin. Those humans who deny God with their sin are turned over to their depravity which is sure to destroy their lives and the people around them.
Paul shares his testimony about sin before and after salvation. He delivers hope to followers of Christ. Who will rescue us from this "body of sin?" Paul declares that Jesus is the answer.

49 min - Second MarriageRomans 7:1-6 (Part 2). Gospel in Real Life exists to transform the culture of the human heart one Bible lesson at a time.
The Law is a bad marriage partner. The Groom, (Jesus) offers a new second marriage to sinners to become his bride (the church, the redeemed). In this lesson, we will take a joyful look at what a marriage relationship with Christ is like and what is in store for Christ's bride in the future.
