Be Angry - Ephesians 4:26-27
Anger is a common emotion. And while emotions are not good or bad in themselves, expressions of anger that are controlled by the Flesh can leave much damage. Both to the one who is angry and those around.
Overcoming the temptation to express our anger in unhealthy ways needs more than just counting to ten and other shallow solutions. It needs the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the Flesh and show us how to respond with love.
Living with Integrity - Ephesians 4:25
Integrity is vital in all relationships because integrity leads to trust, and trust is required to give and receive love, and without love there is no relationship.
But what does it mean to live with integrity? Why do we hide and bluff our way through life instead of being honest with others? And what would happen if we told the truth of how we are doing?
One Thing is Necessary - Luke 10: 38-42
Jesus said that one thing is necessary and that one thing is listening to Him. But let's be honest, listening to Jesus in our active, busy lifestyles, even when we are doing good things, is hard.
Luke 10:38-42 gives us an intimate picture of the necessary first steps to listening to Jesus. And that comes in acknowledging our union with Jesus, paying attention to distractions that deny your union with Him, and cherishing the gift of our union with Him.
The TRUTH that sets you free - Ephesians 4:20-24

Join Pastor Ross as he explains the truth of who we are in Jesus from Ephesians 4:20-24.
Jesus is the answer - Ephesians 4:17-19
Now what? You have accepted Jesus' offer of salvation, but there was no 'beam me up Scotty' moment afterwards. Instead, we are still here, facing various challenges - some small, some big. What do we do now?
The Apostle Paul instructs us to not follow the path of the world, where it only leads to more emptiness and despair. Instead, we have another choice, another option. Jesus. We can follow Him and His life and discover that life is always better with Him.
