Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:1-16
You don’t have to be a philosophy major to understand how complicated the problem of the “one and the many” is for even daily life. But Paul launches straight into the topic of Christian unity in Ephesians 4, making it a top priority for God’s people to work towards if we hope to be a maturing church.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 46:1-11
When life gets turned upside down, we have a God who is a mighty refuge. In the midst of crisis we can rely on a strong God because He became weak and a present God because He was forsaken.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:14-21
What do you think the Apostle Paul would pray if you could hear him offer a prayer for you? The end of Ephesians 3 is just that. What he gives us, therefore, is the idealized version of how every Christian should live their lives, especially as it pertains to how love transforms our “inner world.”

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3:1-13
Add the wonder of Paul’s description of the church in God’s eternal plan together with the immensity of the blessings afforded to those “in Christ,” and Paul realizes that he has something that people need to know. The first half of Ephesians 3 is highly instructive of an evangelism that isn’t packaged but full of joy.
