How often do you allow your mind to think about something that is sinful but feel there is nothing wrong by entertaining yourself with that sin because you haven't actually committed the act? As long as there is a separation between what we think and do, we feel we are ok. After all, we let ourselves be entertained on television and in the movies by watching murder and adultery. If we can watch it on the screen, what is wrong with thinking about it in our minds? Jesus feels very differently on this subject. The separation between our physical and mental world is not that distant. How can we stop thinking about sin? How can we have a heart that loves God and longs to do what is right? Join us as we learn why the mind matters and how God changes our heart.

Many of us are afraid to tell our friends about Jesus. Some of our friends mock our interest in Christ. Other friends express some interest, but soon fall away. In the parable of the sower, Jesus teaches us what to expect when we share the good news of Jesus with our friends and neighbors and why so many will reject God's good news.

When it comes to our relationship with Jesus, it is easy to think most of those blessings will be ours in eternity, not today. As we continue our study in Ephesians we learn how we can have more joy from the gift of Jesus today, not just in the future.
