Ephesians ends with an encouragement to “stand firm in the power of the Lord.”  We need this encouragement because we are engaged in a spiritual struggle against a real enemy.  This enemy is not other people who have flesh and blood - rather, it is the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world who is interested in stealing, killing and destroying our lives. But the good news is that we engage in this struggle prepared and clothed in the character and heart of Jesus Christ.

“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

This is Paul’s word to the Ephesians (and to us!) as we think about our relationships. What would happen if we reimagine every relationship with this instruction in mind?  How might our homes and our churches be impacted if our focus is submission to one another?  In this study of Ephesians 5:21-6:9 we explore these questions.

If the first 3 chapters of Ephesians are about the impact of the resurrection, then the last 3 chapters are about what we do about the resurrection!

Ephesians 4:1-16 reminds us that we are given this gift of grace, and that this gift should be met with a response from us — a response worthy of that calling we have received.

Ephesians 3:14-21 gives us a look at Paul’s prayer life — a prayer for the church in Ephesus, and for us as well.

Today we explore how Jesus has torn down walls that have separated us and how he is rebuilding a new house, a new dwelling within the church.

Ephesians 2:1-10 is all about recognizing who we WERE so that we can embrace and fully give thanks for who we ARE in Christ.

Paul’s prayer in Ephesians is a prayer that followers of Jesus would know more and more about the infinitely knowable God!

Ephesians 1:3-14 gives us a big picture of what God is calling His people into.
