Every word we speak reveals what’s flowing from our hearts. In Ephesians 4:29, Paul exhorts believers to let no corrupt talk come out of their mouths, but only what builds up and gives grace to those who hear. Our speech is meant to reflect the transforming power of Jesus Christ—words that encourage, strengthen, and point others to Him.

In this study, Nathan Johnson unpacks the biblical call to use our tongues for edification, showing how Spirit-filled communication becomes a powerful testimony of God’s work within us.

Always with something to share: the Christian's call to work and giving.

As believers, we’re not called to take but to give. In Ephesians 4:28, Paul calls Christians to abandon the old life of idleness and selfish gain and instead work diligently with their hands so they always have something to share with those in need. True Christian stewardship and generosity flow from a transformed heart—a life centered on Jesus Christ that labors not for self but for His glory.

In this study, we explore what it means to work hard for the Lord, live as channels of God’s provision, and reflect His heart of giving in a world that constantly takes.

Anger is a powerful and often destructive emotion. But is it ever acceptable for a Christian to be angry?

In this study, we dive deep into Ephesians 4:26–27 where Paul says, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.”

In this study, you’ll discover:

• What the Bible actually says about anger in the Christian life
• The difference between righteous and selfish (sinful) anger … and how to discern between the two
• Why Paul ultimately calls believers to put away anger altogether
• Practical steps for walking in peace, forgiveness, and unity in the body of Christ

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it okay for a Christian to be angry?” this study will give you biblical clarity, encouragement, and a renewed focus on Jesus—the One who alone can transform our hearts and free us from the destructive grip of anger.
