Bulletin Insert: A Great Disadvantage to be Negative
Session 1 – "God is Consistent, Faithful, Stable" – Ephesians 2:4 – Lesson 63

Sermon Audio
Introduction: Our responsibility is to receive the faithful proclaimation of the Word of God from the Pastor that God provides. This is not the responsibility of the Pastor; he cannot receive God's Word for us!
Note here today's bulletin insert: It is A Great Disadvantage to be Negative.
Overhead Presentations / Pastoral Notes:

God is consistent, faithful, and stable; too often, we are not! – Ephesians 2:4 – Greek / Literal Translation
"But God, being rich in mercy, much love (POL-LEN) wherewith He loved (Aorist active indicative of AGAPAO – means at points of time) us."
The Apostle Paul – Saul of Tarsus: Do you think he ever had trouble with his Old Sin Nature? Read Romans 7:15 from the NAS Bible. Now let's study Romans 7:15 - Greek / Literal Translation.
There are 4 Greek Words for "Do" in this verse. Next, note the Pastor's smooth translation of Romans 7:15.

Session 1 – "A Great Disadvantage to the Negative" – Ephesians 2:3 – Lesson 60

Sermon Audio
Overhead Presentations / Pastoral Notes:

REVIEW
Ephesians 2:2 – Greek / Literal Translation (Note the last word in this verse (apethias).
EPHESIANS 2:2 (RECAP)
“In which then (while lost) you walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air (atmosphere) of the spirit now operating in the sons of the non-persuaded, mulish, obstinate.”
WORD STUDY: The word apethias is a word beyond disobedience – it is wilful negativity and obstinance toward the word, and the things of God; it emphasizes what took place in relationship to Adam I. Though born spiritually dead, we were changed when we accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, and this change should be visible to the rest of the world in our lives. It is to our great disadvantage if we choose not to go God’s way, and not to follow His plan for our individual lives; it is to our advantage if we choose to follow that plan.

EPITHUMEA (ἐπιθυμία)
Ephesians 2:3 – Greek / Literal Translation

Ephesians 2:8 – Greek / Literal Translation
Ephesians 2:1 – Greek / Literal Translation
Death Types: PHYSICAL DEATH, SPIRITUAL DEATH, SECOND DEATH, POSITIONAL DEATH, CARNAL DEATH, OPERATIONAL DEATH, OPPOSITIONAL DEATH, SEXUAL DEATH
Categories of Death / Review again Ephesians 2:1
Book of Life – The book of life is a registry of all people until they die.
If a person dies without accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, their name will be blotted out of the Book of Life.
Time / Eternity - In time the Book of Life has all names. In eternity future the BOOK OF LIFE will have only the names of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 4:3; Rev. 3:5; 13:8; 17:8; 20:12; 20:15; 21:27; 22:19).
CHRIST DIED FOR EVERYONE
