Passage: Ephesians 2:4-5

“The love of God is greater far, than tongue or pen can ever say.” As the songwriter expresses, the love of God is so magnificent and rich it’s hard to express. Listen to this lesson to hear how the Apostle Paul describes three facets of God’s character that involve His loving kindness, mercy, and grace to us even when we were in rebellion against Him. See that nothing depends on us because God has provided a solution and all we have to do is trust Christ to be “made alive in Him”.

Passage: Proverbs 3:1-6
Series: Proverbs (2013)
Duration: 55 mins 20 secs
The only knowledge that translates into wisdom is knowledge of the Truth. Enmeshment with Truth is an inseparable relationship. Enmeshment in today’s language implies a dysfunctional relationship where one allows another to define him. In the spiritual realm it is a positive term where we aspire to be defined by, and inseparable from, the Truth of God. Truth acts as our protection from absorbing cosmic thinking. Understand the expanded meanings of mercy and Truth and the imagery behind writing them and binding them. Know that trust is based on specific principles of scripture. Applied trust is certainty that fear has lost its power to intimidate and motivate in light of the Truth that is written on our hearts.
