Living The Evident Life

This overview of 1 Thessalonians will encourage you in faith, love, and hope.

A full presentation of the Gospel involves, WORD, DEED, and SIGN. People need to not only hear the Gospel, they also need to see it.

We are also reminded to be those who look forward to the return of Jesus.

Finally, 1 Thessalonians twice reveals God's will for our lives.

Colossians challenges us to reestablish the Supremacy of Christ in your life, to rediscover the closeness of God, and to enjoy the fullness of the freedom you have in Christ.

Colossians reminds us that syncretism, adding stuff to the Gospel, is foolishness and a recipe for disaster.

Are you struggling to find and maintain joy? The Book of Philippians reminds us that we can find joy in all things because we find joy in Jesus.

Are you living your life for yourself or for Jesus? If you lack joy, then chances are you are living for yourself.

Philippians 4:4

Enjoy reading Ephesians this week: may it drive you to put on the full armor of God and in that have confidence when facing darkness.

Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. - Ephesians 6:13

Jesus didn’t command us to go into all the nations, find the demons, and bind them. Rather, Jesus told us to go into all the nations and make disciples.

Our role as God’s people is to humble ourselves and pray.

Ephesians Part 3: Chapter 6

Enjoy reading Ephesians this week: may it drive you to embrace the CHANGE, embrace the CHURCH, embrace LOVE… and choose CONVICTION over CONVENIENCE.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. - Ephesians 5:11

"The opposite of exposing something is pretending it doesn’t exist."

“Stop living by convenience and start living by conviction.”

Ephesians Part 2: Chapters 4, 5, and 6.

Have you experienced God’s purpose in your life?

Have you experienced the powerful redeeming work of Jesus in your life?

God's purpose for us is unity with Him and the power to do this is found in Christ.

Pastor Eric also discusses the concept of predestination. Christians have been predestined, but for what? Ephesians lays it out.
