Hey everybody, I'm Tim McEy and this is my podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.

I am a card carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is

utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

On this podcast I'm putting together the last ten years worth of lectures and sermons

where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites

us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

And I hope this can be helpful for you too.

I also help start this thing called the Bible Project.

We make animated videos and podcasts about all kinds of topics in Bible and theology.

You can find those resources at thebibelproject.com.

With all that said, let's dive into the episode for this week.

All right, well we are in the middle of a series on the podcast where we're exploring key themes

and Paul's letter to the Ephesians.

These were teachings that I did a number of years ago as part of a series guiding our

church through Paul's letter to the Ephesians.

This teaching comes from chapter four.

It's where Paul shifts specifically to focus on the practical outworkings in day-to-day life

of the grand vision of the good news about Jesus.

It explored in the first half of the letter chapters one through three, which this grand

vision of Jesus as the Redeemer and resurrected king of a new humanity that's made up of every

different kind of person ethnically, socio-economically, culturally.

And that's the super diverse family that's all come together to give their allegiance to Jesus.
