Via Church

We are just a couple of weeks into a verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter study through the New Testament book of Ephesians. To a young church needing a fuller knowledge of Christ, the author, Paul, sent a call to Christian maturity. His letter to the Ephesians carries priceless truths about our new identity in Christ and our special calling to live new. Today’s text will stretch us in two directions. It will hurt a bit. It will seem out of reach. It will not be comfortable. Our tendency is to suppress the truth about ourselves. During the first part of this teaching, some of you may fall into the trap of thinking better of yourself than you ought. Let’s make a commitment to trust the text more than our own thoughts.
