God’s will for unity in the Spirit and other meditations – audio
Jesus Christ said in John 17:20-23 that His bride the church should be one with Him, the Father and Holy Spirit – in unity. This message started off as a study of Ephesians 4, but went off track quite a bit on random other subjects as well. May the Lord bless you!

Relationship with Jesus and His church– audio
Jesus said “come to Me” and when He also said “abide in Me” He was essentially saying come to Me and stay with Me forever. That was the goal, and it still is. This started out as a Bible study continuation of Ephesians 2 but wound up staying in Ephesians 2 as we bounced onto other scriptures of this relationship. May the Lord bless you!

The Church of Jesus Christ and the Ephesian Epistle – Audio
The church that Jesus would build is hidden in plain sight in the words of scripture. While today people cannot even agree if the scriptures themselves are valid, or what the church in our times ought to look like, the Bible says God knows! A valid church is one Jesus builds (Ps. 127:1) – by His Spirit – to the praise of His glory! There is both the universal church comprised of all Christians everywhere, and the local assemblies – and indeed, the epistles were written to local assemblies, such as the one in Ephesus (depicted in picture above). May the Lord bless you!
