Today, we'll explore Rule 5: "Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them." This rule emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and disciplining children to ensure their healthy development and maintain a positive parent-child relationship. From a Christian perspective, we'll discuss how biblical teachings on parenting, discipline, and love align with Peterson's advice and offer insights into the spiritual and moral responsibilities of raising children.Episode Overview: Jordan Peterson's Rule 5 underscores the necessity of proper child-rearing practices, advocating for parents to establish clear boundaries and discipline their children to prevent behaviours that could lead to resentment. This rule aligns with biblical teachings that emphasize the importance of guiding children in a way that fosters their moral, spiritual, and emotional growth.In this episode, we will:Explore Biblical Principles of Discipline and Parenting: How Scripture guides parents in raising their children with love and discipline.Discuss the Importance of Balancing Discipline with Love: The Bible's call for discipline to be an expression of love and care, not control.Examine the Role of Parental Example in Child Rearing: How parents are called to be role models in faith and righteousness.Key Biblical References:The Role of Discipline in Parenting:Hebrews 12:11: "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."Proverbs 19:18: "Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death."Discipline is portrayed in the Bible as an essential component of parenting that guides children toward righteous living. It's not about punishment but correction and teaching that fosters long-term moral and spiritual growth.Balancing Discipline with Love:Ephesians 6:4: "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."Colossians 3:21: "Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged."The Bible warns against harsh or unfair discipline that could provoke or discourage children. The Christian approach to parenting emphasizes a balance between firm discipline and loving guidance, ensuring that correction is administered with compassion and patience.The Parental Role Model:Deuteronomy 6:6-7: "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."Proverbs 2Support the Show.Jeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Matt Shafer takes us through the love of Christ in the context of Paul's exhortation to "be imitators of God."
Ephesians 3:17-21 The unshakable position of every believer—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—is found in his connection to the relentless love of Christ. When a person finds his security there, he is unmoved by the seeming instabilities of the world around him. He begins to see God work in ways he never thought possible!

Thank you for joining us as we continue to dig into our Keeping it Real series on Ephesians.In Ephesians chapter 2, we start to get a glimpse of the Apostle Paul's vision for the churchin Ephesus and how Christ's work of salvation reconciles us to God and to oneanother. Paul shows us how the gospel of Christ ministers peace to both pulldown and build up.First, peace pulls down the dividing walls of hostility between God and oneother. Humans throughout history go about inventing new ways of dividing,race, politics, class, sex and religion. The gospel says “no more”. We all standequally sinful, and we stand equally as recipients of grace if you ask for it.Second, peace builds up, giving us a new way of building our identity. Ratherthan building our identity on our achievements, gifts, or status, we build ouridentity on the foundation of Christ, He is our cornerstone.Here's what this building up looks like. Firstly, we are fellow citizens. Then hesays, we are members of God's household. Thirdly, he says, we are stonesjoined together in God's temple. Each one gets more intense with regard to ourrelationship with God. A king lives in a country with his people, but a father livesunder the same roof with his children and a temple is where God lives. Theimages also get more intense regarding our relationships to each other. If you'reco-citizens, you may live kilometres from each other. But if you're are growingup in the same home, you live just metres from each other. If your stones in abuilding, there's no distance at all.In summary, what Paul is trying to say is that if you want the surpassing powerof the gospel to be at work in and through your life, you have to deeply commityourself to His community. As we do, we together are formed into God'smasterpiece, a gallery of glory declaring the testimony of God's salvationavailable to all.Reflection Questions1. What themes stand out to you in Ephesians chapter 2?2. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal any walls of hostility that you need to pull down(Hint: we all have them).3. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal any areas of your life where your identity or self-worth is based on your own efforts rather than Him. What areas of your lifeneed building up by the gospel of peace?4. What is a personal application you can make based on some of the truthsrevealed in this chapter? In other words, what does it look like for you to“live this out” in your daily life.Thanks again for joining us.

1 Peter 3:10-12 [10]For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. [11]They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. [12]For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 1. Desires to Love Ephesians 4:15-16 [15]Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. [16]From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 2. Seek and pursue it Ephesians 4:3-4,15-16 [3]Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. [4]There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; [15]Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. [16]From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 3. Be the apple of the eye of the Lord Zechariah 2:8-9 [8]For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye— [9]I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(bulletin here)
Audio Sermon for Sunday March 10, 2024
This Sunday's sermon is called “Walk In Love.” In the city of Ephesus, the idea of love had been severely distorted by the worship that was happening at the Temple of Artemis. The temple was considered to be one of the seven great wonders of the world. It was twice the size of the Parthenon in Athens. Emperors and travelers came to behold this incredible architectural masterpiece. As Acts 19 revealed, the worship of Artemis was the major economic engine for the city of Ephesus. Artemis was the goddess of fertility so sexual idolatry and promiscuity was promoted and celebrated. It is no wonder that Paul's instructions on walking in love in Ephesians 5 is set in direct contrast to the sexual immorality that plagued their culture and continues to plague ours. We know that sexual promiscuity has become the sign of one's freedom today and the clearest marker of one's identity in our culture. Loving yourself and being yourself is often tied to being open about your personal sexuality. In Ephesians 5, we are called to understand that God's design in the gospel produces a very different approach to “love”. Love is not giving yourself over to sexual sin. Love is giving yourself to Christ for the purpose of the gospel. Our identity is found in Christ. Love radically transforms how Christians live in a sexually perverse society with the hope that people might be set free not only from sexual sin but from life without Christ. Our sermon this week is called “Walk In Love.” Pray that God might use Ephesians 5:1-18 to bring many people into both the love and the light of Jesus. In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor Join us for our Good Friday Service ay the Chaska Event Center, 6pm March 29th
Rejection & Acceptance Jesus Understands Isaiah 53:2-3 There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected - a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. John 1:10-11 He came into the very world he created, but the world didn't recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. Luke 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her ckicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me. Shake It Off Luke 9:1-5 One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Take nothing for your journey, he instructed them. Dont take a walking stick, a travelers bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes. Wherever you go, stay in the same house until you leave town. And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate. Strategically Respond Matthew 7:6 Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you. Know Who Loves You Mark 1:9-11 One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, "You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy." Matthew 17:5 But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him." John 12:27-28 Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, "Father, save me from this hour?" But this is the very reason I came! Father, bring glory to your name. Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, "I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again." John 1:10-13 He came into the very world he created, but the world didnt recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are rebornnot with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. We are Righteous - 2 Corinthians 5:21 We are New Creations - 2 Corinthians 3:17 We are Holy and Blameless - Ephesians 1:4 We are God's Masterpiece - Ephesians 2:10 We are Friends of God - James 2:23 We are Beloved and Chosen - Colossians 3:12 We are Royal and God's Most Prized Possession - 1 Peter 2:9 We are Lavished in God's Love - Ephesians 1:11
Today Pastor Bijan explores how right in the heart of the practical sections of the book of Ephesians, Paul expresses the core reality of the Gospel. That, as those who are deeply adored by God, we are to walk in love, as we imitate Christ.

Pastor Luke shared about the vastness of God's love, saying, "The loving Father fills His family to live full of love."
As believers our mission is to be, imitators of Christ, and to be beacons of light exposing the dark acts of sin. As we walk in purity and truth we illuminate the love of God which draws those who are in the dark into His light. By Dave Bartlett
In this episode of Pray the Word on Ephesians 3:14–21, David Platt prays for us to be able to comprehend God's amazing love for us.
One of the great sources of anxiety that we all face is the feeling that our lives seem to be spinning out of control. Whether we feel like our destiny is being determined by unpredictable forces of nature, inherited DNA, unjust political or military powers, technological advances like AI, spiraling health and housing costs, or worse, demonic and evil forces, Paul reminds the church at Ephesus that their lives and destinies are safe in the hands of sovereign love. This week's sermon was called “Safe in the Father's Love.” In Ephesians 1:5-6, the Word of God reminds us that our lives are never spiraling out of control. For the Christian, life is resting in the care of a God who brings us into His family through Christ at the expense of His Son and ensures our future together as one forever family under Christ. We are loved with everlasting love. We share a common destiny. We are forever the family of God. What joins us together is our adoption in Christ. Let's gather and be reminded that we are safe in the Father's hands. Invite a friend and let's rejoice as one family together to the praise of the glory of God's grace. In Christ, Kevin Dibbley, Senior Pastor

At one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as Children of Light(bulletin here)
This Sunday we'll discover a person and a force that is entirely devoted to keeping people from entering heaven. If you paid attention in World History class you remember that as Hitler's appetite for power and territory grew, his army began to march across Europe. In some cases, the fight could hardly be called a battle. The German army rapidly advanced, with its tanks and technologically advanced weapons. In some of the underdeveloped nations, their armies made a futile effort to resist the aggression, fighting back with spears and even rocks. It was no contest at all, because these nations were not equipped for the battle. The same could be said of many Christians. They are totally unprepared or even unaware of the spiritual battle that goes on around them and the eternal consequences of these battles. Our fight is against Satan and the powers of darkness, or other fallen angels, which he controls. Many of Satan's victims do not even know there is a war going on and because of this, they make easy prey. One of my mentors often said, “One of the most disbelieved verses in all of Scripture is found in Ephesians 6:12.” I think he's right. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” These forces have been at work since God created man and woman. In the opening pages of the Bible it is apparent that Satan is the enemy of God, and that he actively seeks to oppose God, his purposes, and his people. However, we have been equipped by God to fight this enemy and win. I'm reminded of William Wallace (Mel Gibson) from the movie Braveheart who stood tall and stoic as the enemy rapidly advanced directly toward him and his men. Calmly, then forcefully he said, “Steady, hold, hold, hold, NOOOOOW!!!!” At that moment the Scotts picked up hidden weapons and immediately began to take down their English opposition. Or perhaps you remember the words of Maximus from the movie Gladiator when he told his General, “On my command, unleash hell.” We have something far more powerful than hell. We have the power of God's throne in heaven. On God's command, we unleash heaven! Three distinct weapons are in your arsenal Christian. Are you using them? 1. Prayer - prayer engages God's power against Satan. 2. Worship - when we worship we do the exact opposite of what Satan did. He practiced self-love and had thoughts of exaltation fueled by pride. He wanted to be on God's throne; we bow down before it. 3. God's Word - The Bible is described as a sword that cuts through the lies and replaces them with truth. Satan is allergic to the truth and this is why he left Jesus alone after He kept breathing the Scriptures into Satan's face.
A lifestyle of love; a way of life that allows Jesus' self-giving love to be our pattern, motive and source of strength. That is what Ephesians 5:1-2 invites us into – a love for others rooted in the love we've received.
Ephesians 5:1-14 makes us ask, what is love? And what's the difference between the culture's definition and God's?
