America has a debt and spending problem, and most of us are affected. But getting out of debt and in control of our money takes self-discipline and a plan. We talk about practical steps that help us implement biblical principles. Based on material from Dave Ramsey and Craig Groeschel.

Many, if not most, Americans face financial tension. We worry, we fight, we stress over money. The Bible calls it bondage...we're strapped. Based on Scripture and practical insights from Dave Ramsey and Craig Groeschel, we start a new series on how to better handle money. And it all starts with the heart.

The full-on cyber assault called hacking can only be prevented by a great firewall. In Ephesians 5 & 6, Paul gives Christians the armor for mounting a defense against our enemy's attacks. And one key component of that defense is our formation with one another: marriage, family, and work. (Adapted from Mark Moore).

At times even the Bible presents us with expectations that can overwhelm us. Such is the case with Ephesians chapters 4 & 5. And Satan will twist our understanding of scripture to make us lose sight of our motivation and purpose. We need a filter to prevent Spam from leading us to make a poor decision. (Adapted from Mark Moore).

Part 3 of 5, We continue studying from Ephesians about who we are in Christ. And that identity is tied to WE not just ME. Our corporate identity comes from uniting under the banner "in Christ" rather than just our own experience. (Adapted from Mark Moore).

If you've ever been tricked into paying for something that should be free, you may have been a victim of fraud. Christians are often tricked by the enemy to believe that salvation is earned, but Ephesians 2 reminds us that God has brought us from death to life because of grace through faith in Jesus Christ. [Adapted from Mark E. Moore]

What if someone stole your spiritual identity, and you didn't know it? The book of Ephesians has more talk about who we are "in Christ" than any other biblical book, and it is the basis for how we can prevent that identity from being hacked. The first week's lesson is that identity is received, not achieved. [Adapted from Mark E. Moore]

True authenticity is directly connected to confession. Only by admiting our need for God's grace and forgiveness does He remove our guilt. And guilt has consequences that affect all aspects of our lives. Confessing what is true, Jesus said, would set us free.

What we say is so powerful that it can change the course of a life. How do we deal with this immense pressure? We have to give up our right to say what we want, so that God can show us the right thing to say.

Telling the truth is harder than we may assume. Lying finds its way into our lives and relationships, because we often tell white lies or half-truths when we don't want to hurt someone's feelings. And in order to love people, sometimes that means telling them the truth, even if it's uncomfortable. And knowing how and when to do that is key.
