Ephesians - The Foundation of the Church at Ephesus (1 of 44)
Series: The Church at Ephusus: God's Calling, Empowering, and Instruction for the Church
Patrick Edwards
Acts 18:18-28
Series Introduction
Now that Spring is in full form and summer right around the corner, the missus and I have been trying to get Aiden outside as much as possible. You see Aiden is lot like our Golden Retriever, in many ways, but particularly when it comes to an endless supply of energy. In all honesty there have been times recently with our 2½ year-old that we've contemplated just putting him on a treadmill, pressing start, and just seeing how long he could go! He loves being outside, though, so we do that instead.

It's pretty cute! There was a country song that Rodney Atkins had out a few years back that captured this idea. The song was called, ''I've Been Watching You,'' and it was about how his four year-old copied everything he did, both good and bad.
Kids seem to learn best by having things modeled and demonstrated for them. Sociologists tell us that we never really grow out of this method of learning. In fact, globally, most non-Western cultures prefer the watch and show method of teaching over all others. Now to master a skill you eventually need to learn the intrinsic principles behind the activity, and so verbal communication, particularly that of the theory behind the instruction is important. Eventually in learning to kick a soccer ball you need to understand how the position of your hips can alter the ball. In learning to hi ...
