In this episode of Timeless Truth, Pastor Jim Thomas opens Ephesians 2 by walking through the first three verses—Paul’s honest diagnosis of the human condition before Christ. Spiritually dead, enslaved to sin, and under condemnation, Paul sets the stage for the “But God...” moment of grace that follows. This episode reminds us that understanding the bad news deepens our appreciation of the good news.

In This Episode:

Explore what it means to be spiritually dead before Christ. Understand the depth of our need for redemption and rescue. Reflect on how the Gospel confronts the illusion of autonomy. Hear insights from John Stott, G.K. Chesterton, and Christopher Watkin on sin, pride, and human nature.
