Pastor Scott speaking
We will continue our focus on “Believe” as worked out this time in the fifth chapter of Ephesians where we read of non belief and solid belief:
Ephesians 5:5 MSG
[5] You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them—the usual variations on idolatry—will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of God…this is not living out of believing.
Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG
[1-2] Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that…this is living out of the freedom belief brings.
Our focus will be the difference belief makes.
