In the journey of faith, a few mountaintop days can make a big difference.

That's why so many people come to our national conferences for both refreshment and deep connection.

At TGC 25, happening April 22nd through the 24th,

we'll celebrate the rich blessings of our union with Christ by studying Ephesians and what it means to be alive together.

Will you join us?

Speakers include John Piper, Nancy Guthrie, David Platt, Jen Wilkin, and many more,

as well as worship led by the Gettys.

Join us for three days of gospel-centered teaching, worship, learning, and connection.

Today's episode of Help Me Teach the Bible was recorded in 2016.

You can find episodes on every book of the Bible, along with topical conversations on Bible teaching at tgc.org slash podcasts.

You ever walk by a very beautiful lawn and seeing a sign that said, do not walk on the grass?

What do you immediately want to do when you read the sign?

You want to walk on the grass.

And then you realize if the sign hadn't been there, I probably wouldn't have wanted to walk on the grass.

But when you see the sign, it makes you want to walk on the grass.

And there's a sense in which it tells you something very true about the human heart is that you are wicked if you want to break a law just because it exists. So the problem in the sign, the problem is your heart. The problem

isn't the law. The problem is you.

Welcome to help me teach the Bible, sponsored by Crossway.

I am Nancy Guthrie.

And this is the podcast for people who love God's Word.
