The church of Jesus Christ and His will for us all – audio
This started as a study of Ephesians 3, but became more about the church and what God wants – a bride read for Himself and individuals who know Christ in them! Things got off to a slow start with several interruptions in the first half hour but the cadence gets better and more productive although random discussion ensues. Discussions of the Spirit-led life called for a variety of scriptural references and lively talk. Lord bless you!

If the Son makes you free, you are free indeed – video
The title is a reference to what Jesus promised in John 8, and this Bible study video covers that, but the answer of freedom from sin more throughly outlined in the video through Jesus Christ is found in Romans 6. This is the first of more to come on this absolutely foundational truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The normal Christian life can never take place unless one lays hold of this, sees the truth in the spirit made alive, and walks in it by faith. Lord bless you!
