Paul Tripp calls this identity amnesia, what can

  TRANSCRIPT: “Admittedly, this text was not highlighted in my Bible. Most of Ephesians is highlighted. This particular part of the text was not. God just has a funny way of working that out, where I will get a passage I need to preach and I have no thoughts on it whatsoever. That’s just a
