Paul was a first-century Christian "celebrity." And yet, that's not how he viewed himself at all. Instead, he saw himself and other ministers, missionaries as "bond-servants." But what does that look like in our culture? And how does it relate to seeking God in our everyday life? Jeff explains in this week's podcast.

In this episode, Jeff takes us on a deep dive into what Paul teaches concerning sound doctrine. But what does all this have to do with supposed "revelatory dreams?" Listen and find out.
Part 2 in Jeff's mini-series on how to navigate the confusion and complexity concerning the topic of dreams. Are they really messages from God? Seriously? And how would we know that for sure? Are we to follow the dictates of our subconscious mind? Are dreams "revelatory?" Should they be shared with the rest of the body of Christ? Jeff continues to examine the scriptural and theological implications of listening to those "night visions," and precisely how this leads us away from truth and into error.
Do dreams matter? Are they from God, self, or somewhere else?> Does God speak to us in our dreams? Or should we be skeptical of them? And what does the Bible say? Are there any biblical principles to guide us as we think about a particular dream? Jeff takes a Scripture-based look at this mystical, subjective, and often misunderstood topic.
The Bible tells us to confess our sins to God, but exactly how are we supposed to do that? How often should we confess? How much should we confess? What if we can't remember all our sins?

"Just have faith." We hear that a lot in the Christian world, but what does it actually mean? How do we do it? What is it that enables us to grow in the exercise of our faith on a daily basis? And what does this "shield of faith" refer to? How are we supposed to use it? Jeff explains in today's episode.
In battle, it was critical that a Roman soldier have sure footing to give him stability and confidence, both in travel as well as in hand-to-hand combat.

In this episode, Jeff explains more about the armor of God, and how important it is for us to have the right kind of "footwear."
Why is the breastplate so vital? And how exactly do we "live righteously?" Is there a secret to it? And what's the difference between passive and active righteousness? In this episode, Jeff helps us understand just how the breastplate protects us, and how we can grow towards living a more righteous Christian life..
In describing the necessary Armor of God from Ephesians 6, Paul now turns to a most important area of protection - the breastplate. But what exactly is this "breastplate?" What does it protect?

And what is Paul's counsel to Christian slaves and masters in the first century? Jeff explains in today's teaching from Ephesians 6.
Having addressed the biblical role of wives and husbands, the Apostle Paul now turns his attention to children and fathers. Not to downplay the strategic place of mothers in the life of a child, but Paul here zeroes in on a dad's responsibility to his children, being the head of the household, and the one ultimately accountable to God for the family. So what is a dad to do, and not do, as it relates to his kids?
What does God require of husbands in a marriage? What is his responsibility, and how does that calling differ from what God requires of a wife? In today's podcast, Jeff explores from Ephesians 5 the high calling of being a godly husband.
The topic of submission in marriage is a controversial one, especially as it is interpreted in some Christian circles. So what does God really expect of women in the marriage relationship? What is their role, and how should they treat their husbands? From Ephesians 5, Jeff unpacks what biblical submission does, and does not, mean.
The Bible commands us to "be subject to one another in the fear of Christ." But what does that mean? And what is the difference between that and a wife submitting to her husband?

One of the most confusing (and often divisive) subjects in the church today is what some refer to as the "gift of tongues." As part of explaining the filling of the Holy Spirit from Ephesians 5:18, Jeff pauses for a few episodes to unpack this teaching and to reveal what the Bible actually says about "speaking in tongues."
What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? What does it feel like? How can you know if it's real? And is it an emotional or supernatural experience? Jeff begins unpacking this often confusing subject in part one of this mini-series in Ephesians.
The days are dark. The culture is devolving. And humanity is proudly displaying its sins. So how are we to live in light of these last days' realities? How should we spend our time? What does God and wisdom say? Jeff explains in today's Vintage Truth episode.
By definition, light exposes what's in the dark. But what is our responsibility as "children of light" to expose and call out the dark deeds practiced and celebrated in our world today? And how are we to relate to those who still walk in darkness? Jeff explains in this very practical episode.
Paul was well aware of sin in his society, and here he calls the Ephesian believers up to a high standard of character and living.

What does Scripture mean by "grieving the Holy Spirit?" How does this happen, and what can we do to avoid it? Jeff explains in today's Vintage Truth message.
One of the most spiritual things we can do for another person is to speak a word of edification. In this message, Jeff explains Paul's exhortation to build up the body of Christ and how we can contribute to a brother or sister's spiritual growth with our speech. We must never underestimate how impactful and life changing a good word can be in the life of another.
Paul describes how a believer should "dress" his character and actions in the Body of Christ.
We all know the world is dark and depraved, but unfortunately so are our own hearts. So how can we, as believers, rise above the worldly thinking and values of our culture while simultaneously deny our sinful thoughts and die to our own ungodly desires? Listen and watch to find out.
What's the basic difference between how the unsaved and believers process thought and reality? How can we understand just why people in the world think and act the way they do? The answer is in Ephesians 4, and it may surprise you.

Or is it something else? Fortunately, the Apostle Paul clears up the confusion for us in this week's Vintage Truth Episode!
What is unity? What does it mean to be "united in Christ?" What do we have in common? What does every believer possess that uniquely and eternally bonds him with his brothers and sisters? Jeff explains in this week's episode from Ephesians 4.
Paul spends three chapters in Ephesians explaining what God has done for us and how privileged we are to be children of the Most High God. Not a single command.
