Jesus begins his famous, Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5. Today, he begins with the beatitudes and shows us that the blessed life is the life that is laid down for Jesus.

As Paul concludes Ephesians, he turns to the armor of God as we battle, not against one another, but against the enemy. But the question is, are we engaged in the battle? 

As Paul continues with Ephesians, he now turns the readers' attention to the relationship between parents and children and how to honor one another.

As Paul continues his letter to the Ephesians, he now turns their attention to the attitude of service and submission between a husband and wife.

As Paul continues his letter to the Ephesians, today he turns our attention to this: gospel unity is oneness, not same-ness. 

Paul continues his letter to the Ephesians, turning their attention to the mercy of God in light of their sin. Because of sin, we are dead. Because of Jesus, we don't have to be.
