The Bible for the Ordinary Life

Ephesians 4:7-16 We get gifts! Then what?


Listen Later

Back in the Old Testament and even in the first few centuries after Jesus walked the earth, it was not uncommon for kings to attack, or wage war against a neighboring country or town and take over. Typically the captives that survived would give their new king gifts.  But, Jesus does things differently. His followers receive gifts from him, not the other way around.   So, why would we get gifts from God?  What are these gifts and what should we be doing with these gifts?

In this episode we will answer these questions and of course discuss some "composition clues" to help us better understand how a letter written to a church over two thousand years ago, can be applied to our ordinary lives.
