0:00.0	When When people visit your church, do they leave feeling like they've just had a tiny glimpse of heaven?
0:29.8	Well, they should, and we'll learn why today on Truth for Life weekend as we begin a study in the book of Ephesians.
0:36.8	Alistair Begg is examining the Apostle Paul's exhortation to the early church and to believers
0:42.5	today to remember.
0:44.9	We're in chapter 2.
0:50.4	Well, you will notice, I think, that verse 11 and verse 12 contain the call to remember.
0:57.7	To remember.
0:58.8	It seems fitting that we should be responding to Paul's exhortation to remember on a weekend
