QuadCity Podcast

When you think about your life, is there a difference between your actions and attitudes before you knew Jesus and after? Not just a change in beliefs, but a change in behaviors?

As Paul is speaking to these gentile Ephesians, he implores them to turn away from the way they used to live. Paul makes it clear that to live like the “gentiles” is incongruent with following Jesus.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. My name is Nate, and I am so glad you are here. On today's episode, Jason, Josh, and I discuss last Sunday's message. We go over what it looks like to use our gifts for the church and then answer some questions. 

If you haven’t listened to last Sunday's message, I want to encourage you to stop here and listen. As it will help make this conversation make more sense to you. If you are interested in some of the cool things happening on campus, I invite you to our events page. QuadCity.church/events will fill you in on some of the cool things happening each week. 

Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

If you are in Christ, you have been given a spiritual gift meant to be used with and for the body of Christ. The big idea of these verses is that the body is made up of many parts, but they are designed to work together. The goal of Paul's exhortation here is that the body would be unified and mature.

In the western church, we often see church as an event we attend, instead of a body to which we belong. In a body, every part is important. If one part hurts, the whole body is affected. If one part is missing, the body doesn’t function as it was designed. Do we see the church, and our role in it, with that kind of importance?

Jason, Josh, and I discuss Sunday's message in this episode. We also answer a few of your questions. If you haven't listened to last Sunday's message, I want to encourage you to stop here and listen, as it will make this conversation more meaningful to you. Go to quadcity.church/events to find out everything around campus. Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

Paul: A Biography By: N.T. Wright Link

As is often the case in Paul's letters, the first half of the letter is a reminder of the gospel. It is a retelling of who we were before Christ, and who we are in Christ. As we enter into chapter 4, the letter now takes a turn. Paul begins to move from theological to practical. He shifts from reminding us of what Christ has done, to what we should do because of what Christ has done.

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode, we kick off 2025, looking back on all the ministry that we did in 2024. We also talked about some of the Cool things we didn't get to discuss this Sunday. We hope that you enjoy this conversation.

This is a new command, as the original command to love was to love your neighbor as yourself…the golden rule. Jesus elevates that expectation for us to love each other as He has loved us! Jesus commands us to do this because it doesn’t come naturally! Romantic love or parental love tends to come naturally, but to love people with a Christ like love, does not come on its own.

Welcome to the Becoming Better podcast on today's episode. Jason and Josh and Guest Freddy sit down, and they talk about this last message. If you haven't heard last Sunday's message, I want to encourage you to stop here and listen, as it will make more sense for this conversation. Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

This is one of the most famous Prayers of Paul, and it is primarily focused on knowing the great depth of the love of Christ.
