Moving forward in our study of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, pastor Renfro introduces chapter 3 and verse 1 through 13. The Apostle is endeavoring to impress his readers with the great grace of God in opening their hearts to the Gospel and the amazing gift of salvation given to the Gentiles as a whole. Have you ever considered the incredible blessing of having a heart that is receptive to the Gospel? Paul also describes to his readers his unworthiness in being made a minister of the Gospel of Christ.

As we have learned much over the last few months about how to share the Gospel and God's mandate for us to make disciples, it's always beneficial to hear from a missionary as they experience the challenges and blessings of living it out. Jon and Rocio Lott minister in the jungles of Peru along with their three small children. Jon shares about their ongoing efforts in equipping the local believers to be teachers and preachers to their own people.

Do you ever think of yourself as a Gentile? Does it seem odd to think that way? We are indeed Gentiles, not having the heritage or lineage of the Jewish people yet we also experience God's blessing through the Gospel. Pastor Renfro examines verses 13-18 of chapter two in the book of Ephesians as we see how Christ is our blood, how He is our peace, and the importance and privilege of being closely involved with the local body of believers.

The word counseling often brings negative connotations to our minds or at the very least, visions of a professional sitting behind a desk delivering calculated advice. But God has called us as Christian brothers and sisters to be ready to speak truth into each others lives and remind each other of God's principles for right living. As we begin this series on Christian counseling, Cody endeavors to correctly define the term counseling and how it applies to us as fellow believers in the body of Christ.

As we understand who God is and how He chose the people of Israel to bring Christ into the world, it is imperative that we see God's gift to the Gentiles as the amazing and incredible blessing that it is. We as Gentiles certainly have no claim on Christ either historically or through any bloodlines. Yet God has chosen to open the Gospel to us as well as to the Jewish people. Pastor Welch focuses today on verses 12 & 13 as we continue our study.
