Christians & Alcohol (Sex Love Work and War 2 - Pastor Mike)

Wisconsin has a reputation — Barrel Man, the Brewers, a bar on every corner. But how healthy is your actual relationship with alcohol? In Week 2 of Sex, Love, Work and War, we open Ephesians 5 to ask a pointed question: what would Jesus think about the way you drink?Along the way: why alcohol can increase your joy and decrease your pain — and why that's exactly what makes it so tempting, what the Bible actually says (and doesn't say) about drinking, and a personal story about getting caught by a father who chose grace over judgment.This isn't a message about giving up something good. It's about the difference between drinking and drunkenness, and the better joy and peace that come from being filled with something else entirely.
