Emotions and Living Above the Line - Ephesians 2:5-6
It can be very hard to live emotionally open because we are often afraid if you knew what was going on inside of me. If I shared my feelings and told you about myself, what will you think? What will you do? Will you accept me? Will you reject me?
The truth from Ephesians 2:5-6 and our identity in Christ means that I am seated with Christ in heavenly places. It means that I am fully known and fearlessly loved. It means I am completely secure and accepted in the person of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I am free to experience my emotions and live above the line.
You're invited
Evangelism can be a dirty word. We often fear it because of the context by which it was introduced to us. We were either told we had to do for Christian merit or we were told that it was set apart only for great 'evangelists.' This talk is a bedrock conversation about the whys and hows of evangelism and how it speaks to our new covenant hearts.

Dead Men Walking - Ephesians 2:1-3
Jesus came to bring us more than just forgiveness of sins and ticket to Heaven one day. He came that we might have life because before we trusted Him, all we had was death. Death is more than just something we experience when our body stops working. Death, the same death God warned Adam and Eve about in the Garden of Eden, is something we experience when we aren’t finding life in Jesus. Join Ross as he explains what death practically looks like in this world.
