| Summary: "Giving thanks" makes sense to us when things are going well. But how can we truly give thanks in the midst of the pain and suffering we inevitably experience in a sin-cursed world? The answer lies in a story, a story that runs throughout God's Word. It is only when that story intersects our story that we can truly give thanks in all things. |

| Summary: Christians are people who believe in God's Word, the Bible. But do we really understand it? Have we really grasped what is ultimately all about? Jesus warned the religious leaders of His day that it was possible to read the Bible meticulously and yet completey miss its point. In this message, you will discover that the Bible is essentially a story, a story about Jesus Christ and how His life and ministry are a fulfillment of a promise that begins in Genesis and culminates in the Revelation. As you do, you will see how His story becomes your story and our story. |

Ephesians 5:18-21 introduces us to a description of what the body of Christ should look like in church, at home, and at work--24/7. While many have turned this passage into practical steps on how believers can achieve the victorious Christian life or the Spirit-filled life--this passage is actually a call to the Church to cooperate with the all three members of the Trinity in pursuing a body life that properly and dynamically reflects the wisdom and power of God in and through His church before a watching world. |
