We're glad you're here! First Baptist Arlington is a diverse, multi-generational Baptist church in downtown Arlington, TX. We're a body of believers who Glorify God by Following The Jesus Way together. We invite you to experience our family of faith by joining us online or in person at a service. In this episode of "Tell Me More," hosts Luke Stehr and Dr. Dennis R. Wiles delve into the intricate weave of spiritual transformation and virtuous living in "Designer Fashion." Drawing from Dr. Wiles' recent sermon, they explore the themes of human flourishing and the transformative power of character and virtue as researched in the Global Flourishing Study. The discussion seamlessly threads through the concept of Inaugurated Eschatology, where they examine how believers live at the intersection of 'This Present Evil Age' and 'The Age to Come.' Drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul’s teachings, they discuss how the transformation of our inner character is an anticipation of a promised future state, encouraging listeners to consider their virtuous living as the ultimate fashion statement. With Colossians 3:1-17 as their guiding text, Dr. Wiles illuminates the idea that God, as the original Fashion Designer, crafts us to outgrow the garments of our earthly nature, prompting a radical renewal. Together, they reflect on the spiritual wardrobe provided in Christ, urging believers to embrace their divine couture, crafted by the greatest designer of all. Tune in for a thought-provoking and heartwarming conversation that not only entertains but inspires personal reflection and growth. -- If you're new to First Baptist Arlington, here are some helpful links: Connect with us at FBCA.org/Hello Text "follow" to (817) 518-6353 to tell us about a prayer request, learn more about FBCA or find community in your area. -- #love #jesus #church #faith #worship #scripture #foryou #christian #christianity #sermon #bible #sundaysermon
