Ephesians

Faith

The Doctrines of the Gospels

August 30, 2023 • Bill Schott • Ephesians 1

So what's the book of Ephesians all about? It's all about the great themes and doctrines of Christianity. Paul writes this letter to give us an in-depth teaching about how to nurture and maintain the unity of the church.   As this study begins, Pastor Bill expands on how each individual is a part must work together with all other parts of the church.

The Experience of the Christian

September 6, 2023 • Bill Schott • Ephesians 2

Ephesians one concluded chapter 1 with Paul's prayer that God would grant to us the ability to see and comprehend the unspeakable benefits Christ has secured for us from a heavenly viewpoint, and telling us of Christ’s lofty position in the heavenlies where He is seated with all authority and power which He works on behalf of all who love Him.    Now, in chapter two, Paul will begin his great exposition of the earthly view of what Christ has done for us.

Walking in Love and Wisdom

September 27, 2023 • Bill Schott • Ephesians 5

Who's life are you mirroring? Social influencers or God? In this chapter Paul gives us the highest command of all: To be imitators of God. As Christians we should be giving those around us a taste of what God is like. Is your life doing that?

Using Your Spiritual Weapons
