Righteousness
Today in our study of Ephesians, we looked at Righteousness. The Scriptures for today’s lesson is Ephesians 5:5-21. These verses show that we are called be righteous, imitators of God. I started out my teaching today with a video. You can watch it here or embedded on the blog: This video helps demonstrate our text for today. You […]
Keep it Simple
This weekend I kept thinking of ways to simplify my life. My New Year’s resolution (after praying and asking the Lord what was on His heart) was to be intentional, strategic and to simplify. Part of me thought that was just wishful thinking. But I committed this to prayer seeking God’s will for my life […]

From these verses, we learn that we are: Chosen Adopted Redeemed Forgiven We see this through the Father electing (vs. 4-6), the Son redeeming (7-12) and the Holy Spirit sealing (13-14). As you know, I like to share my notes from my teaching on […]
God is Still on the Throne
This week in my Making Space for God post, I want to address the subject of feeling powerless. I have been talking to many people who are in despair for a multitude of reasons. It’s something that at one time or another we all deal with and often we find that hopelessness jumps into the […]
