Although advertised as Ephesians and Philippians … when we finally sat down and looked at the time constraints (the Class which begins Jan.7 and will end on Feb.25 with one interruption on Feb.4 for a special Church Fund Raising Breakfast for a member in need … More to come on that later …) we only have 7 Sundays to study the material. Consequently … we will just be looking at the Book of Ephesians, and even then just concentrating on a few of the highlights of each chapter from this great book. (We will save Philippians for a separate study.)
Special attention will be given to the discussion that should take place, and is invited, in the class. The Scriptures were not written as mere theological proposition, but as life changing truth used by the Holy Spirit. So how does this inspired Word by the Holy Spirit given through the Apostle Paul affect us today? Why discuss the teaching of predestination or election? What’s the point of Paul describing God’s love in terms of measurements, and what’s the big deal about a wall being broken down? What other practical advice is given for all Christians regarding every day living? Can I really use it? Does it really work? What about the husband wife relationship? Why Paul’s comments to slaves in Chapter six, and how important is it to use the Christian armor that is described? Who are we fighting today? How useable is Paul’s advice?
I look forward to sharing with you … but also to you sharing with the group that gathers in Jesus Name.
