EVIL DAYS
A study of Ephesians
“The days are evil.” The Apostle Paul wrote those words to the church in Ephesus nearly 2,000 years ago. At the time, the Roman Empire was filled with darkness, division, and death. Into that world, Christ brought light, peace, and hope.
Centuries later, the days are still evil. Our nation is beset by political discord, rampant immorality, cultural anxiety, violence and injustice. How should Christians live in such times?
Paul explains how, in the book of Ephesians. By following Jesus closely, and together, we can be light in the world’s dark, love in the world’s hate, and peace in the world’s fear.
We might not know how evil the days might get, and how long they will last, but if we follow His Word, Jesus can get us through.
Morph
God loves us just like we are, but too much to let us stay that way. He wants us to “be transformed.” How? This series explores what Bible says about morphing into the image of Christ.
Chapter Four
After Adam and Eve are exiled from the Garden, things go downhill fast. One of their sons kills another, and their descendants become violent and vengeful. The hope of eternal peace seems a distant memory. But even as humanity strays from Eden, God endures with his people and sows the seed for an eventual way back.
Chapter Three
Something terrible happens in the Garden of Eden that sets the world upside down. Christians call it "the fall." We live in the wake of this moral disaster. But how did it go down? What happened as a result? And is there any coming back from such a disastrous moment?
Chapter Two
After Creation, God made man and woman from dust and placed them in a garden called Eden where they are given everything they need to thrive. They are also given a test. We know what happens in this test. But what did we miss about the garden itself?

Six Reason I Might Lose My Faith & Six Reasons I Won't
