Ephesians 4:17-32

Paul has shared what our calling is as Christians, and how we should walk worthy of that calling. In this passage of his letter to the Ephesians, he addresses the characteristics of our old life, and the qualities that should be manifest in our new life in Christ. We need to be transformed as individuals and as a community.

Ephesians 4:1-16

God has called the Church to share the Gospel of Jesus. He has given us gifts to help accomplish that, but He also expects us to exhibit love, humility, patience and unity. As we unite around the basics of the Gospel, we become mature and effective witnesses of that Good News.

Ephesians 3

The Good News is that Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sake, so that we all can share together in His promises, when we trust in that sacrifice. As Paul tells of his calling to share this Gospel to the world, he challenges us to do the same, telling the world about God's amazing love and mercy.

Ephesians 2:11-22

The Gospel is a call to radical living. Since we are reconciled to God through Christ, we should actively seek reconciliation in areas of our life. As we live out the Good News of Jesus, we can see the breaking down of walls of hostility between us and others.

Ephesians 2:1-10

As Paul continues his letter to the Ephesians, he reminds us that our sins and transgressions sentence us to be separated from God for eternity, but that, by God's grace, we are reconciled to Him,  when we place our faith in the sacrifice of Christ for us.

Ephesians 1:15-23

As we continue in our study of Ephesians, Paul gives a long prayer for the believers to really know God; to know the hope we can find in Him, as well as His power. Knowing more about Him brings knowledge, but knowing Him means a true relationship with Him. 

Ephesians 1:1-14

As we begin the study of Ephesians, we see the blessings of being known by God. That leads to the revelation of God's redemption in Christ and the final plans for all things. The passage concludes with the promise of our inheritance as sons and daughters of God our Father.

Nehemiah 2

Scott Ball, from the Malphurs Group, takes us through the experience of Nehemiah, as he seeks to see the damaged walls of Jerusalem rebuilt. Though the possibility seemed improbable, the Lord provided a way. He promised that, if they would do the work, he would bring success. So we also can know success as we step out to rebuild areas that are broken and need God's restoration.

2 Samuel 12:1-17

We review the account of David's sins, and his effort to hide the truth. When confronted by the prophet, he admits his sin. Though he and his family suffered the consequences, he still received grace from God. Jesus is found wherever truth is found, and grace must be found where truth-telling is found. The church of Christ should be a community of truth and grace.

Revelation 21

As we conclude the series, "God, Life, and Our Expectations", we consider John's account in Revelation 21, when he speaks of the Age to come. We see how the Earth (the "city of man") has been filled with sin and evil, but that there will come a day when it will be replaced by the City of God. We should live each day as citizens of that coming kingdom, seeking to draw others in.
