This week we will continue our study with Ephesians 3:7-9: I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of...

We now begin an important part of our journey through the book of Ephesians. In the first two chapters the apostle Paul sowed the seeds of a glorious and expansive vision of what Christians are called to be. For the rest of the epistle he lays out a practical plan for how this is achieved. We...

Our text for this week is Ephesians 2:21-22: In whom the whole building, being fitted together is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. By this Scripture we can understand that we do not automatically become the...

Our text for this week is Ephesians 2:20: Having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone.

Our text for this week is Ephesians 2:17-19: And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; or through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

This week we continue our study with Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. The first point in this text is that we are God’s workmanship, not our own. In the world, "self-made" men and women are...

This week we continue the study of our calling with Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. Why would Paul revert back to talking about something so basic after explaining...

Our text for this week is Ephesians 2:1-7: And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, In which you formerly walked according to the course of the world, according to the prince of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the...
