When should you take Social Security? It's one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make in retirement, and one of the easiest to get wrong. It's not about finding “the best” age, it's about making an educated decision based on your health, income needs, taxes, and long-term goals. Today, Ryan breaks down the key tradeoffs between claiming early, waiting until full retirement age, or delaying all the way to 70. Here's what we discuss in this episode:

Paul instructed the church at Ephesus that there were things they needed to put off and then some things they were to put on. In this message brother Cole looks at how we are told to put off the old man and put on the new man and how it is we do that.

Ever feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you? Ephesians 4 explains that spiritual growth works like an upgrade: your old self, with its frustration and bitterness, was never meant to be permanent. Through the Holy Spirit, you can trade those worn-out habits for something better, replacing dishonesty with truth and resentment with compassion. Listen now and start becoming who you were created to be.

Colossians 3:1-14  Life in Christ – Colossians series part 3 Life in Christ: The call and response of Paul's letter to the Colossians (more Biblical concept in background info) “Life in Christ” – our new spiritual life is IN Jesus, a close personal relationship, in alignment, in position Objective: Let's take a closer look at who Jesus is and what Jesus has done. We can all grow spiritually stronger by studying Paul's letter to the Colossians, learning what it says about how we see Jesus and hearing what it says about how we should respond. We will discuss what it means to live “in Christ” by putting on that which is new. Q + A: “Have you been surprised by anything in this letter so far?” “What have we already learned from this letter?” Colossians 3:10  “New self” aka new spiritual life or salvation is a rich spiritual truth taught by Jesus and found in the Bible. When we become “born again”, as Jesus taught in John 3, we receive salvation and new spiritual life by faith in God's gracious gift. We receive what has been accomplished and we live in response to this gift. It is “life in Christ” ·        “saints in Christ at Colossae” – Colossians 1:2  “your faith in Christ Jesus” – Colossians 1:4  CSB  ·        “In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” – Colossians 1:14  CSB ·        “mature in Christ, ” – Colossians 1:28  CSB ·        “in him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,” – Colossians 2:3  CSB ·        “the strength of your faith in Christ,” – Colossians 2:5  CSB ·        “walk in him, being rooted and built up in him,” – Colossians 2:6-7  CSB ·        “triumphed over them in him,” – Colossians 2:15  CSB ·        “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ, in God.

Your life speaks with a kingdom accent. In Put Off, Put On from the In Christ series, Mark Medley opens Ephesians 4:25–32 and gets specific about how a new life in Jesus shows up in ordinary choices—truth-telling, anger, work, words, and forgiveness. But he refuses to treat Paul's commands like a cold checklist. Grace comes first. Before a single “do this,” God has made us alive, adopted us, forgiven us, and sealed us by the Holy Spirit. That order matters, because you can't bully your heart into holiness. Real transformation begins when a heart is softened by mercy and rebuilt from the inside out.From there, Mark shows how Christian ethics are love-in-action within community. We speak truth “for we are members of one another,” because trust is the foundation of healthy relationships. We deal with anger quickly—be angry and do not sin—so resentment doesn't take root and the devil gets no foothold. We move from taking to giving, repurposing our effort into honest work so we have something to share with anyone in need. And we treat words as gifts. No corrupting talk, but speech that fits the moment and gives grace to those who hear. Our tongues carry death and life, and careless, bitter, profane, or backbiting talk can even grieve the Holy Spirit who has sealed us for the day of redemption.Mark underscores that in the kingdom of God, relationships—not mere rule-keeping—are the point. Truth protects trust. Quick reconciliation shuts the door on bitterness. Generosity frees us from a life of taking. Life-giving words build up people and strengthen church unity. He offers the THINK filter for everyday conversations—Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind?—and calls us to speak with a mind toward eternity.With a vivid picture of “kingdom clothing,” Mark reminds us that habits are like garments we put on daily. What we consistently “wear” reveals our devotion and shapes our destination. The passage ends where it began: with grace. Be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Forgiven people become forgiving people; loved people become loving people.What do you need to put off, and what do you need to put on as a new habit of love this week?

Ephesians 4: Putting Off the Old, Putting On the New (Truth, Anger, Words & Forgiveness) + Easter AnnouncementsJeremy shares upcoming Easter plans, including a free citywide egg hunt in Shepherdsville with two hunts (11:00 and 1:00), 40,000 eggs, registration via Facebook/website, and volunteer needs, plus school egg hunts the following week and a March 26 workday to prepare the flood-recovering building. Because Bullet Central won't have electricity, four on-campus Easter services are planned: Thursday at 7:00 PM (with a kids glow-in-the-dark egg hunt afterward) and Sunday at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:15, with requests to attend Thursday or 8:30 if flexible. The sermon continues Ephesians, emphasizing daily “put off/put on” transformation through renewed minds: reject falsehood by speaking truth in love, handle anger without sin or letting it linger, avoid “decaying” speech and use words to build others up, and replace bitterness, rage, and malice with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness modeled after God's forgiveness in Christ.00:00 Easter Announcements00:30 Serving the Egg Hunt01:12 Workday and Easter Services02:53 Stay Connected and Give03:05 Ephesians Series Setup04:56 Put Off and Put On09:39 Renewing the Mind12:17 Truth Over Falsehood17:59 Honesty in Practice19:33 Anger Without Sin22:06 What Anger Reveals23:39 When Anger Mutates24:28 Don't Let It Linger25:16 Footholds and Spillover28:00 Pause and Get Honest29:10 Words That Corrode32:42 Build Up With Speech34:49 Replace Rage With Kindness37:21 The Cost of Forgiveness40:11 Daily Put Off Put On42:47 Prayer and Sending

We plan to do it. We mean to do it. We just tell ourselves that we'll do it tomorrow. The problem, as the Stoics remind us, is that we don't control tomorrow.

Estate planning is one of those things most people know they should do, but it often feels overwhelming, expensive, or easy to put off. Between our busy lives and discomfort around death, even responsible adults delay it far longer than they want to admit. In this episode, we break estate planning down into what it really is, a practical way to reduce stress for the people you love and make sure your wishes are clear. We talk about when estate planning actually starts, the small steps that matter most, and how to get started without feeling overwhelmed.

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Ephesians 4:31]

In Part Two of the Becoming New series, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 which shows us that real transformation requires putting the old self to death. Paul calls believers to purge old appetites, old reactions, and old identities—because you can't step into a new life while holding on to old patterns.

Todaywe are continuing our study in Ephesians chapter 4, focusing specifically onverses 22 through 24. The Apostle Paul has been explaining that because we nowhave a new position in Christ as believers, we should no longer walk the way weonce did—or the way the Gentiles around us walk. In other words, the worldwalks one way, but we are called to walk differently. As believers in Christ,we should live differently, speak differently, and have a different attitude.Why? Because we are now in Christ. Paulexplains it this way in verse 22: We are to put off our former conduct—the oldman—which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts. Then, in verse 23, we areto be renewed in the spirit of our minds. Finally, in verse 24, we are to puton the new man, which was created according to God in true righteousness andholiness. Whatdoes this mean? To put off the old man means that, as believers, weintentionally reject the sinful nature we inherited from Adam. The old self iscorrupted by deceitful desires, as Paul describes here in Ephesians. This isnot merely about changing bad habits; it is about our core identity beforeChrist. Prior to salvation, we were enslaved to sin. InColossians 3:1–11, Paul gives specific examples of the old life—immorality,greed, anger, and lying. These practices once defined us, but they lead tospiritual death and bring about God's wrath. Spiritually speaking, putting offthe old man is like taking off filthy clothes after a long, grimy day. It is adecisive act of faith. When we trusted Christ, our old self was crucified withHim. Paul teaches this clearly in Romans chapter 6. We do not reform the oldman—we put him off, because in God's eyes he is already dead. This truth bringsreal freedom as we choose righteousness. I encourage you to read Romans 6,because it reminds us that we are no longer enslaved to sin. We are now free tolive a righteous life as followers of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:11-18). Conversely,when we put off the old man, we are also called to put on the new man. Thismeans we actively embrace our new identity in Christ. The new self is createdin Christ's likeness and is renewed in mind, spirit, and life. Ephesians tellsus this new man is characterized by true righteousness and holiness. The bookof Colossians adds that this new self is renewed in the image of our Creator,where divisions such as race, background, or status fade away—because Christ isall and in all. As Paul says, “Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christis all and in all.” (Colossians 3:9-11). Spiritually,putting off the old man is like taking off dirty clothes, and putting on thenew man is like being clothed with something entirely new. We do thisconsciously—daily, even moment by moment—remembering that Christ is our lifeand our all in all. When we practice this as we should, it becomes a lifestyleof godliness. As Brother Lawrence spoke of practicing the presence of God, wemight also say we are practicing holiness—choosing Christ over the flesh, overthe old ways. We choose to read the Word of God, to follow Him, to love Him, tolive for Him, and to witness for Him. Oh,my friend, when this becomes our reality, we are truly free—free to do what weought to do: to love the Lord and to live a life of holiness and righteousnessbefore Him. That is exactly what Paul is teaching us here: put off the old man,put on the new man, and live in freedom for the glory of God. MayGod bless you as you dedicate and consecrate your life to Him. As Romans 12:1–2reminds us, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by therenewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable andperfect will of God.” Godbless!

I. Introduction: The Word and the theme “Wake Up” Exaltation of the Bible as the believer's foundation over feelings or worship experiences.​ Personal stories about people falling asleep in church and a college roommate's alarm to introduce the “wake up” motif.​ Transition from physical sleep to the real concern: spiritual sleep.​ II. Main Text: Romans 13:11–14 Reading and emphasizing Paul's call to “awake out of sleep” because salvation is nearer than when believers first believed.​ Call to cast off works of darkness, put on the armor of light, walk properly, and “put on the Lord Jesus Christ,” making no provision for the flesh.​ III. Paul's Three Challenges A. Be aware of the times Explanation of “high time” as a critical, urgent moment requiring spiritual discernment.​ Biblical examples: Jerusalem missing its “time of visitation” in Luke 19; churches of Ephesus (lost first love) and Laodicea (lukewarm).​ Need for discernment of seasons (sowing vs. reaping), people, political and social issues, illustrated by the tribe of Issachar (understanding of the times).​ Description of last days from 2 Timothy 3 (lovers of self, money, pleasure, form of godliness without power), applied to modern culture and social media.​ B. Awake out of spiritual sleep Warning that Christians can be physically awake but spiritually asleep, citing Ephesians 5:14.​ Signs of spiritual slumber: indifference to Bible, preaching, giving, serving, holiness; callousness and hardness of heart.​ Testimony of a church member who realized he had been spiritually asleep, plus repeated calls: “Wake up the mighty men/women” (Joel 3:9).​ Example of Samson: great anointing lost after being lulled to sleep by Delilah, leading to loss of sight, power, and discernment; warning from 1 Peter 5:8 to be sober and vigilant.​ C. Be arrayed in the armor of light Explanation of “arrayed” as putting on, dressing, and clothing oneself with Christ and His righteousness.​ Pastoral explanation of preaching strongly against sin out of love and responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God.​ IV. Six Sins to “Put Off” (from Romans 13) Revelry and drunkenness Defined as wild parties, nightclubs, casinos; warning that alcohol and exposed flesh create moral danger.​ Strong appeal against social drinking and minimizing drunkenness, noting family damage caused by alcohol.​ Licentiousness and lewdness Defined as sexual immorality and debauchery; teaching that sex is for the marriage covenant only.​ Condemnation of fornication, adultery, pornography, and cohabitation outside marriage, with logical and biblical arguments.​ Strife and envy Mentioned with the other sins as attitudes and behaviors that must be cast off to walk properly.​ V. Biblical Foundation for Repentance and Transformation Reading of 1 Corinthians 6:9–11: list of sins (fornication, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, drunkenness, etc.) that exclude from God's kingdom, followed by hope in being washed, sanctified, and justified.​ Emphasis that no sin is beyond God's power to forgive and transform, but believers must repent and turn from it.​ VI. “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ” and Make No Provision for the Flesh Definition of “make provision” as providing, accommodating, or facilitating opportunities for the flesh.​ Practical applications: avoid drinkers if prone to alcohol, remove pay‑per‑view if struggling with lust, avoid gossipers if prone to gossip, do not attach to those who tear down leadership.​ Specific rebukes: dating couples sharing hotel rooms or apartments, “playing house” for financial or convenience reasons; teaching that this is tempting the flesh and violates holiness.​ Illustration: not climbing through “dumpsters of sin” while wearing Christ's clean garments.​ VII. Call to Response and Revival Allegorical story of Satan's convention: demons decide the best strategy is to tell people there is time, lulling them into delay and spiritual sleep.​ Final threefold call: Be aware of the time. Awake out of sleep. Be arrayed in the armor of Christ.​ Appeal for repentance, surrender, and practical steps (e.g., separating, seeking counseling, getting properly married) as evidence of true obedience and not “cheap grace.”​ Invitation to the altar for all, noting both obvious and hidden sins, and insistence that the gospel is about change, new life, and ongoing dependence on the Holy Spirit.

An enchanted Santa experience was more of a nightmare before Christmas for an Auckland mum, after she discovered the T&Cs would allow the business to use any photos taken of her children for its advertising or social media. Enchanted Christmas in Auckland's Newmarket boasts 180 decorated xmas trees, over a 150,000 lights, decorations and photo opportunities with Santa and the Grinch. But mum Michelle Dickinson was put off after reading the terms and conditions that she believes ignore children's digital privacy and the risks of artificial intelligence. Dickinson spoke to Lisa Owen.

Believers should freely put off the old life nonbelievers fight to keep.

This week Steve Coleman teaches from Ephesians 4:17-32. He says, "The message of the book of Ephesians has stressed that we should 'walk in a manner worthy' of our calling in Jesus. As we continue in chapter 4, this 'walk' is described in very practical terms and we are introduced to ways that we can change our behavior from old patterns to new."

We all know what we should do with our money — update beneficiaries, review insurance, create an estate plan, rebalance investments. But why do so many people procrastinate when it comes to their finances? In this episode of Horizon Advisers Unleashed, Ryan and Andrew dig into the psychology behind financial inertia — the invisible force that keeps people from taking action.They'll explore common triggers that cause delay, from fear of making a mistake to information overload. More importantly, they'll share practical strategies for breaking through paralysis and building momentum. If you've ever said, “I'll get to it next year,” this conversation will give you the nudge to finally move forward with confidence.

Ephesians 4:17-24I. You Have Been Taught Better (v. 20-21)“That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ” Ephesians 4:20A. Learning Christ vs. Learning About Christ •Paul says we “learned Christ” - not just facts, but a person •Christianity is encountering Jesus, not adopting a moral systemTruth isn't a system to master; truth is a person to know. And knowing Jesus changes everything. •The gospel itself contains the power for transformationB. The Truth That Is in Jesus •“As the truth is in Jesus” - a crucial phrase •Truth isn't abstract principle; it's embodied in a person •The reality of who Jesus is and what He's done changes everythingTransition to point 2“to be made new in the attitude of your minds; “ Ephesians 4:23A. Put Off the Old Self REMOVAL(v. 22)You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; •The “old self” corrupted by deceitful desires •Not gradual improvement but decisive break •ITS REMOVING YOUR GRAVE CLOTHESKey Question: What does this mean practically? •Not self-improvement through willpower alone •Recognizing the old identity is dead (Romans 6) •We're not trying to become Christians; we already areB. Be Renewed in the Spirit of Your Mind  RENEWAL(v. 23)to be made new in the attitude of your minds;  •The often-overlooked middle step •Renewal is passive voice - something done to us •The mind must be transformed by gospel truthThe Pattern or renewing the mind •Our behaviors flow from beliefs •Wrong behaviors come from functional beliefs that oppose the gospel •Lasting change requires exposing and replacing false beliefs with gospel truthYou become like whatever you think about most.If you want to change your habits, change what you feed your mind.You can't control what pops into your head, but you can control what stays there.Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become your character.Example Application: •If struggling with anxiety: What am I believing about God's control or care? •If struggling with anger: What am I treating as ultimate that only God should be? •Gospel renewal means letting God's truth reshape our deepest assumptionsC. Put On the New Self Replacement(v. 24)and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. •Created to be like God - our true destiny •“Righteousness and holiness” - not earned but received •Like putting on new, clean garments of identityGospel Connection: Before we can “put off” or “put on” anything, we must first understand what Christ has done for us. Moralism says “try harder.” The gospel says “you've been changed.”“God's plan for you isn't improvement—it's transformation.You can't change your life until you change your thinking.Change is not a moment in time…. It's a direction you purposely live your life inII. The Three-Fold Pattern of Gospel Change (v. 22-24)“Real change requires three things: Removal, Renewal, and Replacement.”
