We continue to discuss Paul’s final admonitions in the last half of Ephesians. What does it mean to live as Children of the Light? What does it mean to be overflowing with the Spirit? How do we submit to one another out of reverence for Christ? These are some of the final issues Paul addresses.

We continue to discuss the practical and ethical instructions of Paul in the second half of Ephesians. Understanding the purpose of the Body and means that Christ has given to us, we are to “walk as Children of Light” withe the goal of becoming like Christ our Great Teacher.

In this powerful letter, Paul gives an “eternal perspective” on Father-God’s work IN Christ through the Spirit…

In our last class for the year, we take a listen to the Letter to Philemon. Although it is the shortest of Paul’s letters, the Letter to Philemon packs real power as a masterpiece of grace based persuasion. Paul seeks to encourage the reconciliation of Onesimus and Philemon through their fellowship in Christ.

We complete our discussion of Colossians by looking at Paul’s “household codes” and his final admonitions and greetings.
