Displaying Grace and Truth in Divisive Circumstances
Written near the end of Paul's life, the letters to the Ephesians and Colossians share themes of unity, grace, and growth. The apostle Paul encourages the churches to remain faithful to Christ's teachings and emphasizes oneness in the Spirit. Ephesians offers a broad theological vision with grace as its foundation, while Colossians addresses local concerns, emphasizing Christ's sufficiency and growth in faith. Both letters center on Jesus as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, calling believers to live in unity and keep their focus on Christ.
In this volume, Scot McKnight looks past the abstractions of Ephesians and Colossians and offers practical guidance for Christian living. These profound teachings continue to resonate, offering timeless encouragement to Christians.
What you will find in this Bible study is in-depth exploration of these two letters from the apostle Paul. Discover poignant insights from the heart of a pastor, real-world relevance for your daily life, and thoughtful questions to get at the heart of the message and put it into practice.
In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides:
- Original Meaning. Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage.
- Fresh Interpretation. Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus.
- Practical Application. Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage.
