How do we overcome this? Well, we need to ask God for wisdom. He gives us wisdom through His Word, His Spirit, and through people. James says that God gives wisdom "generously." It just doesn't get any better than that! Thank you, Lord. http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/1cc1a9b2-db83-2c35-ceeb-b04e45b2c1b7.mp3 a868b932-536b-a212-a0fc-6e911f6509fc Mon, 07 May 2012 17:35:37 GMT 00:42:50 First Baptist Church Wimberley no LO$T (Matthew 6:19-21) The Wall Street Journal said a few years ago that most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. And we're consumed with debt. As a culture many of us are lost financially. Imagine what it would be like to be in financial freedom. It's not that God wants our stuff. He wants us. When He gets us, He gets everything. http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/8877ee1d-36a0-4d40-44f4-6a9a06093a3e.mp3 fbfcbd37-52c2-cef1-8a1b-ab04d4216e5d Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:28:00 GMT 00:46:49 First Baptist Church Wimberley no Dealing with Guilt (Psalm 32:1-5) When we sin against God, it affects us emotionally, spiritually, and physically. How do we get free of these things? It begins with confessing our faults and failures to God, who promises to forgive. "I said 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord' - and you forgave the guilt of my sin'" (Psalm 32:5). http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/264a1349-3d20-6055-2734-28b3e41f7a18.mp3 61e18551-326e-ee44-b14e-e321e55ea3c2 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:38:04 GMT 00:48:28 First Baptist Church Wimberley no Resurrected Life When you live the resurrected life, not only this Easter Sunday, but every day of your life, you are being spiritually dangerous--a force not to be reckoned with in the kingdom of God! When you're spiritually dangerous, you are focused, fruitful and fearless. http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/8e523720-1d9c-4204-ef48-f413d4a600c7.mp3 83f535fc-18ea-7dad-69c7-0c9617544b6e Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:15:05 GMT 00:40:45 First Baptist Church Wimberley no Ephesians: Praying in the Spirit If we're honest, most of us don't pray as much as we should.

Well, a lot! But this section of Ephesians (6:1-4) gives sage guidance on raising our children. In fact, it's more than guidance: It is the very Word of God on the the subject! http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/e86dde83-61f2-4ab2-6f63-1d921c590ab6.mp3 4fd957a0-6285-b7cd-9ecd-34f9983699df Thu, 15 Mar 2012 15:43:24 GMT 00:42:18 First Baptist Church Wimberley no Ephesians: Work as Worship If work is part of your worship, then your relationship with Christ should govern your relationships at work. http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/e83381a7-bdf5-effe-43d1-0286016086ee.mp3 d66f4896-50d5-bb5f-271e-011afc95cf73 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 14:11:47 GMT 00:38:53 First Baptist Church Wimberley no A New and Living Way A "new and living way" has been opened to us who believe in Jesus.

The two are equal, yet with different roles. The main reason for wives to submit to husbands is "out of reverence for Christ" (Ephesians 5:21). This is part 1 of a 2 part message. http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/182a074c-2bcb-af4c-92ac-e02fdefe1ff0.mp3 c1d35836-9e05-2181-20e2-38dd2de1a147 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:21:43 GMT 00:45:23 First Baptist Church Wimberley no Ephesians: Filled with the Spirit When you're filled wit the Spirit there will be a gladness, gratefulness, and graciousness in your life.

Some translations say to "live" in the light. Either way, it has to do with living in moral excellence, living differently than we used to, before we knew Christ. http://danstephens.hipcast.com/deluge/70b11ee1-d90a-154f-8877-8606d7b06004.mp3 dc455492-f3ff-e18f-3b06-66b6ee5dc8b8 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:51:04 GMT 00:42:49 First Baptist Church Wimberley no Ephesians: Same or Different Are you the same or different this year compared to last year?
