Imitating the Love of God (Ephesians 5:1-2)

God's will for every believer is their sanctification. That is the purpose of this life, with all of its trials and temptations. God has given us His word as a means of sanctification, but to gain from it, we must first put away our sins. Putting away sin and desiring God's word is impossible apart from the regenerating, converting work of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through the gospel, we are made new creatures, fully capable of warring against our sins, loving God's word, and moving upward to conform to the likeness of our Lord. An exposition of 1 Peter 2:1-3

The promise of God's faithful and unending presence is the basis for our contentment. If God has promised to never leave or forsake us, we can rest in that provision and fight the covetousness that unsettles our souls. An exposition of Hebrews 13:5-6.

The opposite of covetousness is contentment. We are to cultivate the virtue of contentment as an answer to the covetous heart. An exposition of Hebrews 13:5-6. 

The sin of covetousness is an insidious evil that can lurk in even the most unsuspecting hearts. We examine the sin itself and its various manifestations. An exposition of Hebrews 13:5-6.

An expression of brotherly love is remembering the prisoners and others who suffer for the gospel. An exposition of Hebrews 13:3.

1. What is hospitality?
2. Why is it important?
3. What do angels have to do with it?
