Ephesians
 |
|
And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
Eph 1:9-10
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians contains an intense and precise summary of the greatest themes of the New Testament – God’s purposes for the world and the future, salvation by grace through faith, and the heavenly nature of the church. In addition, half the letter is dedicated to practical matters of godliness as the outworking of what God has done for us in the gospel. To study this letter is a meaty and challenging task, giving us a heavenly perspective on the world and history – that God’s plan is for all things to be under Jesus.

In this twelve-week series, we work through Ephesians, section by section, starting with its historical background in the book of Acts, then moving through the meaty theology of the first three chapters, into the demanding review of Christian practice in the final 3 chapters, finishing with a summary of the letter’s big picture and its big challenge.
