        I am joined again by Justin Seebok Leung as I continue to work through St. Paul's letter to the saints in Ephesus.

          In this episode, Raleigh and Seebok discuss Ephesians 1:3-14, asking, "Who is Paul referring to in his use of the pronouns?" When we understand the referent of the pronouns, the argument of the letter becomes more apparent, and God's story begins to unfold in vivid detail.

          5. PwU- Ephesians Introduction

            I'm thrilled to introduce you to our journey through St. Paul's letter to the Ephesian saints, and I'm not doing it alone – I will have guests throughout the series, including my good friend, Seebok Leung, who joins me for the introduction. Together, we're diving deep into the theological heart of this incredible writing.

            At its core, this letter is all about unity in Christ. St. Paul passionately urges the believers in Ephesus to come together as one body, and he paints a vivid picture of the resurrected and ascended Messiah, calling the dead to life. It's a powerful message that should draw us together in the grace of God.
            Unity is a theme that runs through much of St. Paul's work, and it's as relevant today as it was back in the 1st century AD. This message is more important than ever in a world that often seems divided and churches that divide themselves for seemingly any reason.
            I hope you will join me over the next few months, witnessing the grace of God through the story of Scripture seen through the lens of St. Paul's Ephesian letter. I hope to hear from you along the way. If you have questions or comments, please post them in the comments so that everyone following can challenged and encouraged.
