In chapter 5, Paul continues to explain what it looks like when we "live lives worthy of the calling we have received."

This Sunday we took a break from our Ephesians series for a special message from our worship director, Steve Bell. With candor and vulnerability, Steve told the story of his faith journey and how Jesus has worked in his life.

In the second half of Ephesians chapter 4, Paul continues to describe what it looks like for us to "live lives worthy of the calling we've received." He insists that we "no longer live like the Gentiles do." We explored what that means.

After spending half the letter talking about who we are in Christ, the Apostle Paul shifts in chapter 4 to talking about how we should live. We considered what it looks like "to live lives worthy of the calling we've received."

This week we examined what Paul prayed for the Ephesians. He prayed for things we all need prayer for, although they aren't the most common prayer requests. We considered the meaning of Paul's requests, and how they should should shape our perspective and focus.

This week we took a break from our Ephesians series to hear from one of our missionary partners, Evan Burgess. Evan addressed a question most of us struggle with throughout our lives: "What is my calling?" Evan explored how the Gospel helps us to answer that question. (NOTE: Because the wi-fi at the church dropped out during Evan's message, part of it was lost. The cut out happens around 6:33. If you would like to hear an uninterrupted version of this message, you can find it on YouTube at Trinity Covenant Church's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwXR7OGSy68

This week we continued our Ephesians series by looking at a passage where Paul reveals a fascinating (and often forgotten) plot point about the purpose of the church in God's story.

This week guest speaker John Vampatella continued our series in Ephesians. Paul said that "a mystery had been made known to him." We identified what that mystery was, and what it means for us today.

The letter to the Ephesians tells us that God created "a new humanity" through Jesus. We identified what defines "the new humanity"...and what doesn't.

This week we continued our series on Ephesians. We considered what Paul meant when he said that "we have been seated with Christ in the heavenly realms."

This podcast begins with a prayer inspired by the recent mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo.
