Ephesians – Apprentice 2 Jesus

The vast love of the Savior

When I have come to the end of Ephesians Chapter 3 each time I slow walk through Ephesians, I am left in awe. I am left in wordless awe. A deep praise that takes me into depths I cannot describe. As I walk through Ephesians, and have come once again to the end of ChapterContinue reading “The vast love of the Savior”

There are thoseContinue reading “Spiritual Warfare in the time of coronavirus”

As I walk through Ephesians I am struck again by the power the Church has in Christ. Yet, we stumble around without much of an idea as to who we really are in the kingdom of God.

What to pray for others

These are some notes I have taken in my walk through Ephesians 1. This part of Ephesians has always helped me focus in prayer.

Mind-blowing realities of the Kingdom of God

I have finished my little project in Acts and am now making my way through Ephesians. This small letter has played such a massive role in my life in the past 20 plus years, it is a joy to walk through these passages again. I simply can’t grasp the majesty and wonder of what PaulContinue reading “Mind-blowing realities of the Kingdom of God”

Prevailing prayer

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. (Eph. 6:18)
