So I want to take the time to go over that and take a look at it. Continue reading sermon...

And indeed, we do have quite a bit to talk about, as would be expected. We've even got a lot of cross-reference verses and just things that tie into this as we try to articulate it, as we try to understand it in a good fashion. Continue reading sermon...

Interestingly, though, there will be some doctrine-type discussion still yet, even at the beginning of Ephesians chapter 4. We're not completely done with that, and I'm sure it'll seep its way into things as we go along, but we are definitely more moving Continue reading sermon...
