Exchanging the Old Self for the New Self

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 4:21-28

If you are forgiven in Jesus, you have a new birth, a new identity. This new birth means you have to believe and live in that identity. Believing and living in this new identity releases God's power to transform your mind which leads to living a life of love.

Life Without God

Scott Risley

Ephesians 4:17-19

Everyone who rejects God, has made a decision of the will to ignore the evidence God has given people to know He exists. This leads to a darkening of their minds where they cannot understand the significance of their rejection of God. This leads to being cut off from the life God wants to give them. To reject God is to reject the good things He wants to give us. This ultimately leads to living a life of calloused self-indulgence which will never satisfy the deep desire in their hearts that only knowing God can fulfill.

True Freedom

Gary DeLashmutt

John 8:30-36

True freedom is not the freedom of personal choice but the commitment and ability to love God and other people. It comes from Jesus and through Jesus who gives us freedom from sin's penalty when you receive Him, sin's presence when He returns, and sin's power as we walk according to His Spirit. It increases as we live as student-apprentices of Jesus' teaching.

Vanishing Returns of Life Away from God

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 4:17-24

Before one becomes a Christian, they are living for self, and have put sensuality at the center of their life. Sensuality always demands more and more to satisfy. Thus, the Law of Vanishing Returns. But as a Christian, one learns to set aside self and be renewed in the spirit of one's mind. By pursuing God and being transformed by His love, Christians become more like God and grow in their ability to love and serve others like He does.

Unity Out of Diversity

Scott Risley

Ephesians 4:7-16

Because Christians are united with Christ, they have unity with other Christians. This is not a unity we generate, but a unity we must strive to maintain. Just as our bodies are made up of many parts, so too is the Body of Christ made up of many different individuals who work together, each doing their unique role, to build up the Body of Christ for the work God created each of us to do.

Experiencing True Unity in the Body of Christ

Dennis McCallum

Ephesians 4:1-6

When we put our faith in Jesus, we are mystically joined to the Body of Christ. We become one with Jesus, vertically, and we become united with other Christians, horizontally, in the Body of Christ. We do not create this unity, but we are called to preserve it. Our fallen nature opposes this but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can experience true unity in the Body of Christ.

A Man of Great Faith

Patrice McCormac

Nehemiah 2

Nehemiah is a great example of faith from the Old Testament. He demonstrated biblical faith by being willing to act according to God's Word with complete dependence upon God. His first step of faith was to pray to God. He viewed his circumstances in light of who God is. He then waited on God to direct him. He looked to God to determine the value of his step of faith.

The Ways of Knowing

Jim Leffel

Nehemiah 2

This session explores the Bible's teaching on the nature of truth and how we come to know it. Truth has three dimensions: propositional, practical, and personal. Each aspect of truth brings God's revealed Word into the breadth of human experience and draws Christians to a deep and fulfilling connection with the Lord.
