This week we finished our series on Ephesians by looking at Paul's final exhortations to put on "the armor of God." What does it mean to do that?

Today we continued our series in Ephesians with a passage that might sound offensive to our modern sensibilities, with lines like: "Wives, submit to your husbands" and "Slaves, submit to your masters." We considered how seeing the passage in its historical context reveals it to be more a call to love and mutuality in our relationships than authority and hierarchy.

In chapter 5, Paul continues to explain what it looks like when we "live lives worthy of the calling we have received."

This Sunday we took a break from our Ephesians series for a special message from our worship director, Steve Bell. With candor and vulnerability, Steve told the story of his faith journey and how Jesus has worked in his life.

In the second half of Ephesians chapter 4, Paul continues to describe what it looks like for us to "live lives worthy of the calling we've received." He insists that we "no longer live like the Gentiles do." We explored what that means.

After spending half the letter talking about who we are in Christ, the Apostle Paul shifts in chapter 4 to talking about how we should live. We considered what it looks like "to live lives worthy of the calling we've received."
