À propos de cet audio
Join us as we journey through the book of Ephesians, with our fifth installment focused on the powerful message of unity and division, as penned by Paul. This cosmic perspective on God's sovereign plan emphasizes salvation as a pre-time reality, a divine plan where God chose us even before the world was created. Paul highlights the transformative journey of an individual, once dead, now alive and seated with Christ in heavenly realms. He then seamlessly transitions to discussing the collective, the community of individuals saved and redeemed.

As we transition into exploring reconciliation and peace in Ephesians, we delve into the practical implications of salvation in our lives. Jesus is not only the bringer of people from far and wide but also our path to God. He has abolished the barrier of hostility between people, creating a new, unified humanity. The message is clear - to be close to God, we must be close to His people. Through the cross, Jesus has preached peace to those near and far, and given us access to the Father.
Our discussion continues to the church's power and the crucial role of Jesus in reconciling Jews and Gentiles, creating a new humanity. The beauty and joy of the peace Christ has secured for us is a source of reflection. The sacrifice of Jesus fulfills the purpose of the law and removes the penalty owed to us, providing us with access to the Father. We end with an exploration of God's vision for us and how we can contribute to it by sacrificing our preferences and comforts for His glory. Listen in, as we discuss how to live out this vision, serve more, and build His kingdom on earth.
