Paul continues to explain and illustrate what it means to “live worthy of the Gospel of Christ.” Paul’s prime example is Jesus Himself. Although He was God, He did not cling to His “Divine Prerogatives” – instead He emptied Himself and became a human and a slave. He sacrificed Himself for the welfare of others.…

Paul explains how his circumstances have providentially advanced the Gospel! Then he gets to the “main thing” in his exhortation: “Live as citizens worthy of the Gospel of Christ, striving together as ONE.” Everything else Paul says in this letter is an amplification of this main idea.

We begin our study of Philippians by reading the letter together. We then take a look at Paul’s introductions and prayers.

We complete our brief overview of Ephesians by considering Paul’s last admonitions to stand firm in the Lord’s power and put on the full armor of God. Paul tells us that we are standing firm and wrestling against the Spiritual Forces of evil in the Heavenly places.

We continue to discuss the practical and ethical instructions of Paul in the second half of Ephesians. Understanding the purpose of the Body and means that Christ has given to us, we are to “walk as Children of Light” withe the goal of becoming like Christ our Great Teacher.

We take a look at the final sections in “theological” first half of the letter and move on to the “exhortation” part of the letter.

We consider the outworking of Father God’s great love in saving us “by GRACE through FAITH.” We also take a look at the “mystery” – secret – that has now been revealed: Father God is uniting both Jew and Gentile together in the Body of Christ. This is part of His New Work that was…

We finish looking at Paul’s Praise/Prayer in the Ephesians 1. We focus on Father God’s “good pleasure” worked out in His eternal purposes and plans IN Christ through the Holy Spirit.
