Bible Talks from Ephesians

You cannot love Jesus unless you love his church. The church is his body and his bride, so to ignore the church is to ignore Christ and to love the church is to love Jesus.

Is your life making a difference? The answer to that depends on how aligned you are to God’s overall purpose for the universe that He is bringing in through His Son.

This is a question that at some point confronts us all. It is central to who we are and gives us a reason to get out of bed in the morning. We will look at how our world seems to answer this question and then turn to what God says and consider the implications for our lives.

Christ came to bring peace not just between us and God but between Jew and Non Jew and whatever other walls of hostility we build.

After Christ died and rose again he disarmed Satan and is now ruling, pouring out his gifts on the church. The church is built up as each part does its work.

Jesus has given spiritual gifts to every member of his church. As we discover why God has done this, we see his love for his people and his intention behind every good gift.

As Christians who are raised with Christ in the heavenly realms we engage in a struggle against demonic spirits from the vantage point of victory. We are alert but not alarmed strong in the power and armour of God.

Why didn’t God only create those who will be saved and place them in the new creation.
We by-pass Hell, Human suffering and most of all Jesus having to go to the cross. The core assumption is that we are wiser than God.
