EPHESIANS

Modern society has lost all sense of definition and direction. Its moral grounding has been largely erased. Who are we really, and what holds us together? We all have a need to belong, but to what? Is there anything that merits our commitment? What is human life for anyway?

The answer is Jesus, and nothing short of an attachment to Him will rescue us from our plight. To be united to Jesus means to share in the great events of the gospel. But God’s actions require our response – we must make choices to change the pattern of our lives. This cannot be achieved through an easy “believism” but only through a deep discipleship to Jesus and His call on our lives.

In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul presents his supreme exposition on the doctrine of the Church, what he calls here “a new humanity”. A unified people who demonstrate God’s eternal purpose to the world. Today more than ever we need to recapture a Biblical vision of the Church.

A new identity leading to a new kind of life.

In this letter is some of the most mature writing of the Apostle Paul. It is truth that sings, doctrine set to music. In this study, our hope is to more fully embrace this truth and see it released in our lives and our community as we become more fully the people God has called us to be.
