In this milestone episode, well celebrate God's goodness as Jeff takes on a historical tour of his ministry, how the Vintage Truth Podcast was started, and why he believes the Lord has blessed it so much. 

What does the Bible say about slavery? And how was slavery similar or different to the way we view it today? Why didn't Paul or Jesus outright condemn the institution? And what is Paul's counsel to Christian slaves and masters in the first century? Jeff explains in today's teaching from Ephesians 6.

Having addressed the biblical role of wives and husbands, the Apostle Paul now turns his attention to children and fathers. Not to downplay the strategic place of mothers in the life of a child, but Paul here zeroes in on a dad's responsibility to his children, being the head of the household, and the one ultimately accountable to God for the family. So what is a dad to do, and not do, as it relates to his kids?

What does God require of husbands in a marriage? What is his responsibility, and how does that calling differ from what God requires of a wife? In today's podcast, Jeff explores from Ephesians 5 the high calling of being a godly husband.

The topic of submission in marriage is a controversial one, especially as it is interpreted in some Christian circles. So what does God really expect of women in the marriage relationship? What is their role, and how should they treat their husbands? From Ephesians 5, Jeff unpacks what biblical submission does, and does not, mean.

The Bible commands us to "be subject to one another in the fear of Christ."  But what does that mean? And what is the difference between that and a wife submitting to her husband? Is that principle still in effect? How should a wife biblically submit to her husband? Check out this very interesting (and controversial) passage from Ephesians! 

Now that we have defined from Scripture what it means to be filled with the Spirit, what does that filling "look like?" How are we different afterwards? Is there an accompanying feeling? Is there an instant change? How are our actions and activities altered? Find out in this week's episode.

Scripture commands us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. But what exactly does Paul mean by those words. We've seen what it doesn't mean, so now let's take a look at what it actually does signify. Jeff begins to explain this exciting spiritual life principle from Ephesians 5:18.

Jeff conclude this little side series, explaining from Scripture what the gift of tongues meant in the life of the early church. He also explores the origins of the modern tongues movement, giving clarity to an often confusing subject.

One of the most confusing (and often divisive) subjects in the church today is what some refer to as the "gift of tongues." As part of explaining the filling of the Holy Spirit from Ephesians 5:18, Jeff pauses for a few episodes to unpack this teaching and to reveal what the Bible actually says about "speaking in tongues."
