Paul And Ephesus

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

We hear Paul's letter to the Ephesians like we might overhear someone talking on the phone. We get only half of the conversation. If we are going to understand Paul's teaching we need to learn as much as possible about the circumstances of his readers.

Years ago there was a farmer from a very small village in Germany who was just itching to get out and see something of the world. His big chance came when his nephew got a job on a barge that would sail up the Rhine River to Rotterdam. Even if it only stayed there for one day to drop off one ...read more

God Chose You

Marks Of A Healthy Church Pt. 1

Contributed by Rob Watts on Feb 20, 2023

The church is in a sad state. Barna research group says 1.2 million will leave their faith in 2023. 70% of kids will lose their faith in their freshman year of college. The data isn't pretty. Radical secularism is winning the souls of our youth.

Blessed To Bless

Our Heavenly Father has blessed us so that we can bless others in the same way.

I love the book of Ephesians. Well, I guess you could also say that about Philippians and Colossians because, oftentimes, I read these epistles together in one sitting.

God's Grace And Peace

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 13, 2022

God's grace and peace are twin blessings from God. While divine grace saves and enables us to achieve God's purpose in our lives, the peace of God creates the right atmosphere or serenity within and without for grace to have its perfect way.
