The letter to the Ephesians is thought, by many, to be Paul’s finest work. It is a beautiful and meaningful unfolding of a revelation Paul had about

a. Our friendship with God achieved for us by all that Jesus has done
b. The plan Jesus has to bring everything together using us His people.

United in Christ, the Church expresses to the world that same unity that Christ has with God.

Such thought has great relevance for us in 2015. At the global level we see forces at work to tear our world apart destroying relationships between individuals, families, tribes and nations. At the local level we see the need, within the Church, to encourage one another in our unity in Christ.
So through this exploration of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians we hope that we may all be provoked to recommit to our unity with Christ and one another
We always hope that we will hear God challenge us through the word. Our prayer is that all of us having been affirmed and provoked, will be able to find opportunities to explore the challenges that the Holy Spirit will bring to us.

There are some difficult questions to answer in the letter; what we are calling the FAQ’s or Frequently Asked Questions.  In the next week or so we hope to provide you with some material to help you explore these questions on your own or in groups.
