We were encouraged by Pastor Darrell to remember, believe, and have hope in the resurrection of Jesus. We can do this because God's Word tells us that Jesus is alive. He left the tomb and appeared to many. Those who met the resurrected Christ believed and were changed. He now lives to make intercession for us and draws near to us.

Welcome to episode 172 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we begin our study in the Book of Ephesians, covering chapter 1:1-2 and introductory information. Drew Bowsher, our student minister, will be joining Pastor Darrell as they walk through the Book of Ephesians. Pastor Drew delivers the message today.Today, we will cover:· The introduction (vv. 1-2)· The Author· The Audience· The Message Key takeaways:· For 18 centuries of church tradition, it was unanimously believed that Paul was the Author. Some Historical and Theological Arguments were made to question Paul's authorship. However, no satisfactory alternative author was ever presented. Thus one must conclude Paul is the Author of Ephesians based on the clear evidence of his mission to the gentiles and the support of 18 centuries worth of tradition. · The book of Ephesians was written to the faithful, saints, in Christ Jesus, located in Ephesus. Ephesus was the capital of the Roman empires Asian province. Therefore, this text was probably for all newly founded Asian Churches by way of Ephesus. · The Message of the book of Ephesians starts with the beautiful transformation of the gospel, explains the radical difference of those in Christ and concludes with the practical implications and practices of these transformed people.Quotable:· We are citizens of two kingdoms, to which kingdom will you bow your knee?· Come this semester and see How the book of Ephesians reveals to us how to bend our knee to the king of Kings and Lord of Lords while simultaneously residing in a broken world.Application:· The book of Ephesians was written in part to help new believers understand who they are in Christ. We can examine Ephesians and learn more about who we are by understanding what God has done for us through Jesus. · It was also written to show believers how those in Christ should live and walk out their faith. Check out Ephesians to find practical ways to walk and live like Christ.
