by Chad Mansbridge.

In this sixth instalment of our Ephesians Series, 'God, His Church, and Me', we circle back to Ephesians Chapter 5, where the Church is revealed as the Bride of Christ. Chad demonstrates that the motif of God being a husband to His people is a long-established theme of the Old Testament Prophets, and has powerful implications for us today as members of His Eternal, New-Covenant Bride.

Key verses include Ephesians 5:25–27; Hosea 1:1–2; Revelation 21:1–3; 2 Corinthians 11:1–4.

In Part 5 of our Ephesians Series, 'God, His Church, and Me', we examine one of the New Testament’s most oft-repeated identities of the Christian Community: the saints, God’s holy people.

In this message, Chad begins by reminding us that ‘being holy’ is a status and standing we have been freely given in the Gospel of Christ, before then taking us through Paul’s challenge in Ephesians Chapters 4, 5 and 6, to walk out our holiness by clothing ourselves in Christlike living in every sphere of our lives.

Key texts include: Ephesians 4:17–32; 5:1–33: 6:1–9
