Eph.
3. Settle the hearts with the truth of God.
The word “comforted” is parakaleo which means to be comforted.
Have you ever had someone cheer you up.
We called it a peep talk.
A hopeless situation is redeemed by the words that come to a heart goes to the mind and expressed in the tongue and then goes to the ears that is understood by the mind that is acted on because of the heart.
To be consoled.
It helped.

This love is understood and then lived out by bringing us closer together.
We feel the connection between each other when under seige.
The World should see our love for one another.

The Fact of Following Christ.

Warning to watch what you study and pursue in life.
4. “Knowledge” gnosis not special secret knowledge like the gnostics but like who Christ is.
Dung refuse everything else … Wow Paul that’s kinda strong.
Nope
B. The Temptation of Tricky Teachers
1. Teacher maybe with a lot of Charisma and who there today gone tomorrow.
2. They use speech paralogidsomai- to cleverly deceive.
Trick someone thinking a lie is the truth.

God is not using the cool things of this world.
To full of themselves.
4.
There words are very persuasive … enticing

B. Looked on by others
1. Rooted- He really believes this stuff.

A tree with big roots not a spiritual sapling.

3. stablished in the faith … settled.
This word is in passive form so it reminds us that we allow God to have His way in our lives as we live for Him.
4. We should have a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving for all that He has done … Natural … the next step.
Thank you Jesus.
