Ephesians 5:18
As Ren unpacks Ephesians 5:18 over the next 3 weeks, this talk addresses the first part, “do not get drunk,” and explores the matter of drinking alcohol. Pastor Scott shares not only the Word but opens up on some of his own life and present crisis of conscience in this area, as the pandemic isolation has allowed more time to examine every aspect of life, a season of rethinking everything one does and thinks.
This message asks questions such as these: is drinking okay? Is it not only permitted but blessed and encouraged by God? What does the Bible really teach about the use of alcohol? Does God intend Christians to enjoy the effects of alcohol in a moderate way? What is moderate? How much is too much? Is it possible to feel the effects of alcohol and be filled with the Spirit? Or is this verse suggesting they are opposing fountains?
