I recorded this mini-series from Ephesians 4:1-3 in the studio. As such they are a bit shorter and have a slightly different tone than our normal studies.

To lay a foundation for this ten-part mini-series, I gave a recap of the previous study I gave, The Practical Outflow of Our Position in Christ.

As we begin this new mini-series from Ephesians 4 examining God’s call in our lives, we first need to see the connection between chapters 1-3 and chapters 4-6. Without recognizing that the outflow of the Christian life is based upon God’s inflow, we will either live with hypocrisy or passivity. Join me in this overview message looking at the importance of knowing all of Ephesians to properly understand God’s calling in the life of a believer.

The Christian life is all about our position in Christ.

Yet many Christians will either know their position and not live it out or they try to produce “religious activities” out of their own strength and resource without having the life of Christ within. Both can be dangerous.

In Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians, he spends half the letter addressing their position in Christ, and then exhorts them to live it out in the everyday moments of their lives.

Join Nathan in this expositional study as he talks about the practical outflow of our position in Christ as we begin to study the second half of the book.
