Episode 497: Be Strong and Courageous - Pr. Todd’s Last Sermon at Tabernacle
In his farewell sermon at Tabernacle, Pastor Todd talks about Joshua 1. The book of Joshua begins with Israel closing one chapter in their history, under one leader (Moses) and opening up to a new chapter under a completely different yet wonderful leader in Joshua. Today, we will hear the LORD comfort Joshua and elevate any fear he might have had. In studying this story during a transitional time in Israel’s history we too will find rich application leading into a time of transition as well. In ...

Episode 496: Sealed for the Day of Redemption - Ephesians 4:30-32
Our passage this morning comes with a stern warning from Paul not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God. This is important because the intimacy of our relationship with God hinges on this question. Our relationship with God is often presented as that of a husband and a wife. How do you grow in intimacy with your spouse? By learning them and spending time with them. Being kind, being tenderhearted, and forgiving one another are characteristics we need to have if we don’t want to grieve the Holy Spirit...

Episode 495: Christian Living: Old And New - Ephesians 4:17-32
Paul uses various examples and gives us some real practical do’s and don’ts in our Christian living. So walk in a manner worthy of God’s call by putting off the old and in the Spirit’s power, putting on the new. Put off the old, avoid becoming callous, avoid dishonesty and speaking the truth, avoid sinful anger, avoid unwholesome speech and all kinds of malice, and put on the new self pursuing righteousness, kindness, and a tender heart are one of the examples Paul says in this text. This lifest...

Episode 494: Built in Love - Ephesians 4:7-16
In today’s passage, we see that Christ has given each one of us a gift because of His victory on the cross and He has given each of us a gift that we would build each other up in love. Just like putting the kids' toys together may be frustrating, we are motivated out of love for our children. We are to build one another up in love, yes it is frustrating, yes there is pain, but it is for God’s glory. When we serve together as a church, that is the body of Christ functioning properly. We need you....

Episode 493: The Urge to Unity - Walk the Talk - Ephesians 4:1-6
In chapters 1 to 3, Paul has been laying out a great theology concerning our salvation in Christ. Now based upon this strong theology Paul starts in on hard-hitting life application. Based upon the truth He discussed, Paul launches into how we are expected to live in response to that powerful Gospel truth. Paul is urging the Ephesians and all those reading this letter to Walk the Talk! He is saying that we need to do what we preach, never being hypocrites. We need to walk in a manner worthy of G...

Episode 492: Pray Boldly - Ephesians 3:14-21
Life is easier with help, and there is no better helper than Jesus. There is no one more powerful and no one more capable. He literally can move Heaven and Earth if He so desires. Prayer is the means by which we have access to His help. In Ephesians 3, Paul is helping us by encouraging us to access the power of Christ in prayer. For it is by prayer that we allow Jesus to bear our burden. So pray for spiritual strength and to understand God’s love for you in Christ because He can do infinitely mo...

Episode 491: The Mystery of Salvation - Ephesians 3:1-13
The book of Ephesians is Paul revealing the mystery of God’s eternal plan of salvation. God gave the Jews everything they needed to decode the mystery of the Messiah in the Old Testament. The resurrected Jesus says as much to the men on the road to Emmaus as He rebukes them for not understanding the Messiah in the Old Testament and then unfolds to them how the prophets testified to Him. Paul devoted much of his written ministry to showing Christ in the Old Testament. But like a good mystery, the...

Episode 490: All for One and One for All - Ephesians 2:11-22
“All for One and One for All.” It’s this expressive phrase of unity that Paul is addressing in these verses. The origin of this phrase does not come from the French language or the Three Musketeers book, it was originally found in Latin and from Shakespeare. The original order is “One for All and All for One.” And it's this word order that fits our text perfectly. Here Paul is discussing how both Jew and Gentile can be brought together in Christ. This was once a mystery but now has been revealed...
