Look here at Eph. 4:17-18.
"Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart."
Paul doesn't want the Ephesians to live like Gentiles (those who don't know God). How do they live? They live confused and misdirected because their understanding is darkened. Because they are ignorant of God, they are alienated, cut off from God. And why are they ignorant of God? Because of their hard hearts.
Just like we saw in the sermon: a hard heart is at the root of the problem.
What did you take away from the message this morning? Was it something new about God, about our hard hearts? And what do you believe God is nudging you to do about it?

Hi pastor,
I can't believe I'm on the computer. They are still as frustrating as I remember.
We really enjoyed your sermon again. I was just wondering about when God hardens Pharoah's heart.
I also would like to know how the revelations bible study is going.
thanks Brian
