Scripture

Ephesians 5:3

About this sermon

Today we're back with Dr. Ken Berding to unpack Ephesians 5:3, where Paul writes that sexual immorality and impurity “must not even be named among you.” Does this mean Christians should avoid discussing certain topics altogether? Or is Paul addressing something more specific?
