Ephesians 5:22-33. Verses 25-27, how can my church more fully experience the sanctifying hand of Christ her bridegroom? My role? First step?
Luke 12:35-48. Verse 48, in what sense am I one of those Jesus speaks of, to whom much has been given? What’s the next big step right now for me to give back more fully? What am I waiting for?
