Ephesians 5:15 onward, begins with Paul’s call to careful living. He urges us to “walk” wisely, understand God’s will, and be filled with the Spirit, evidenced by thanksgiving. This leads to mutual submission, setting the stage for exploring household relationships next week.

Join us as we continue in our Ephesians study, exploring the many treasures God’s Word holds out to us

Consider our union with Christ and how that plays out We are called to live as one body, reflecting Christ’s sacrifice.

Here Paul contrasts the futile, darkened lifestyle of those without Christ with the transformed life believers are called to live.

Christ gives gifts like apostles, prophets, etc., to equip believers. We grow the church by using our varying gifts in service.

Exploring unity, linking godly character to it, and highlighting the church as an interdependent body in contrast to self-sufficiency.

Ephesians 4 marks a shift from doctrine to application, yet Paul grounds our conduct in the glories of Christ’s work. We’ll explore how our calling informs how we walk like our Savior.

In tonight’s study, we paused with Paul in Ephesians 3. As he takes a moment to reflect on his divine calling to the Ephesians, and then to pray for them, we’re invited to learn from this example prayer.

In the second half of Ephesians 2 Paul turns to consider how our common share in God’s riches through Christ tells us how we relate to one another in one body. In this rich paragraph he demolishes any other notion of lasting unity, showing how an eternal unity between believers has been forged through the cross. An important message to consider in a divisive season; we invite you to join us in reflecting on this beautiful aspect of the gospel!
