The New Temple

The Book of Ephesians

November 7, 2021 • Drake Osborn • Ephesians 2:11–22

Give

Ephesians 2:11-22 // We are masters of building structures of belonging and community through the works of our own hands, temples with walls erected to keep out those who can't meet our self-made standards. But the gospel tears down walls, creating a new humanity in Christ, and gathers them into a new and diverse temple made holy by God's presence. --NO VIDEO/AUDIO AVAILABLE--

Spiritual Strength

February 27, 2022 • Drake Osborn • Ephesians 6:10–24

Ephesians 6:10-24 // We are headed for a world of blessing, but not there yet. So for all of us who bear the weary weight of the world, this is the final encouragement of Ephesians: be strong. Know the tactic and the enemy, take from the armory of God, and receive the blessing of strength from Christ.

Gospel Submission

February 20, 2022 • Bracken Arnhart • Ephesians 6:1–9

Ephesians 6:1-9 // In different times of life, we all find ourselves under authority. Although the cross has not yet fully leveled the physical playing field, it has leveled the spiritual. In Christ, we can submit to one another as an overflow of the gospel and the obedience of Christ.

Mystery and Dance

February 13, 2022 • Drake Osborn • Ephesians 5:22–33
