Let’s work it out. On Father’s Day, Pastor Trent considers the Apostle Paul’s words to children and parents. This is the first of three key areas of life in which the gospel brings new life — new ways of living that need not merely one work out but continual exercise for us to be God’s blueprint.
The New Testament letter to the Ephesians is a “blueprint.” Through the Apostle Paul, the living God lays out a divine model of theology, community, ministry, family, and life for Christians from diverse backgrounds. This is exactly what the Church (and our church) needs! In this letter, the saints who are “faithful in Christ Jesus,” find a vision for building, integrating, and applying the gospel into every area of life.
