Truth and the Imitators of God - Part 2
Part 2 of Truth and the Imitators of God: why truth is real, knowable, and ultimately found in Jesus, the way, the truth, and the life.
Truth and the Imitators of God
Can we really know what is true? Drawing from Ephesians 5, Pastor Matthew Diehl traces how God has made truth knowable, how Satan spins God's Word into deception, and how—as children of Light—we answer him the way Jesus did: with the Word of God.
God's Victorious Over Evil
What does it mean to "expose the unfruitful deeds of darkness"? In this message on Ephesians 5:11-16, Pastor Matthew Diehl unpacks seven instructions from Paul, contrasts Webster's 1828 and modern definitions of evil, and reminds us that God has always been — and always will be — victorious over evil.
Imitators of God — There Is No Other
What does it look like to actually imitate God? Over two Lord's Days this May, Pastor Matthew worked through Ephesians 5:1–10 — first unpacking what it means to walk in love as God's beloved children, then turning to the deceptions Satan uses to pull us off that path. Both sermon recordings and full sermon notes are inside.
Walking as Children of Light
Some say there is no truth — that everything is subjective. In Part 2 of his sermon series on Ephesians 5, Pastor Matthew turns to verses 6–10 and the question of deception: how Satan twists God's Word, how Jesus rejected him in the wilderness, and what it means to walk as children of Light. Full sermon recording and notes inside.
