Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians

In Ephesians 4, Paul describes the calling with which you have been called and also gives five key “tests” that your life should be marked with. In this study, we examine gentleness and patience and explain how these two attributes work together and should mark the life of every Christian. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 94 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-094/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-094/)

Scripture often talks about the importance of humility in our lives.

Humility is a key defining characteristic of a Christian. We are told to be clothed with humility, but how? In this study from Ephesians 4:2, we examine not only what humility is but how we as believers can become humble. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 92 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-092/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-092/)

You have a calling in your life, which is to be conformed in the image of Christ. Knowing about your calling is insufficient; we must live it out. As such, your life must be tested and proven against the perfect standard of Jesus Christ. In this study from Ephesians 4:2-3, we examine humility—the first of Paul’s five initial tests that our lives must reflect if we hope to walk worthy of the calling with which we have been called. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 91 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-091/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-091/)

God has a calling on your life and you are commissioned to walk worthy of that high calling. In this study, Nathan Johnson explores Ephesians 4:1 and discusses not only what that high calling in your life is, but how you can live the impossible Christian life. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 90 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-090/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-090/)

You have a calling on your life from the King of kings. He has invited you to share in something far more than a profession or obligation. In this study, Nathan Johnson examines our high and holy calling from Ephesians 4:1 and gives two powerful illustrations of how God has invited you into the adventure of a lifetime. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 89 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-089/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-089/)

Jesus is Lord! But what does that mean practically for our lives as believers? If we are going to truly understand and embrace God’s calling on our lives, we must first embrace the One who has called us. In this study, we look at God being our Lord and Shepherd and the three things these two characteristics of God have in common for our daily lives as Christians. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 88 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-088/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-088/)

While we know Paul was a prisoner of Rome for the sake of the Gospel, he boldly declares that He is a prison IN the Lord—that his position and focus is Jesus Christ. In order for us to have a proper understanding of God’s calling in our lives, we, like Paul, need to see ourselves in a proper position of humility, submission, and surrender to the One who has called us. In this expositional message from Ephesians 4:1, Nathan Johnson explores what it means to be a prisoner IN the Lord and how that changes everything for a Christian. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 87 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-087/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-087/)

I recorded this mini-series from Ephesians 4:1-3 in the studio. As such they are a bit shorter and have a slightly different tone than our normal studies. To lay a foundation for this ten-part mini-series, I gave a recap of the previous study I gave, https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-085/ (The Practical Outflow of Our Position in Christ). As we begin this new mini-series from Ephesians 4 examining God’s call in our lives, we first need to see the connection between chapters 1-3 and chapters 4-6. Without recognizing that the outflow of the Christian life is based upon God’s inflow, we will either live with hypocrisy or passivity. Join me in this overview message looking at the importance of knowing all of Ephesians to properly understand God’s calling in the life of a believer. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 86 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-086/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-086/)

The Christian life is all about our position in Christ. Yet many Christians will either know their position and not live it out or they try to produce “religious activities” out of their own strength and resource without having the life of Christ within. Both can be dangerous. In Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians, he spends half the letter addressing their position in Christ, and then exhorts them to live it out in the everyday moments of their lives. Join Nathan in this expositional study as he talks about the practical outflow of our position in Christ as we begin to study the second half of the book. --------------------- Deeper Christian Bible Study in Ephesians • Study 85 Download the study notes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: https://deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-085/ (deeperchristian.com/ephesians-study-085/)
