Summary

Ephesians 1:1 Paul loved the church at Ephesus! He spent a good deal of time personally preaching to them, leading them to Christ, and discipling them. He testified that the had preached to them the “whole counsel of God.” Yet there was more to say! In our study of this important letter, we will learn what doctrinal truth was essential (chapters 1-3) and what actions should arise in a believer’s life because of that truth (chapters 4-6).

0:00.0	Welcome, friends. So glad to have you to be a part of our brand new Bible study in the book of
0:06.4	Ephesians. Looking forward to learning what it means to speak the truth in love. I hope you'll
0:13.7	stay with us this entire series. It's going to be a good one. Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt
0:19.3	Skeley. We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day.
0:27.2	If today's conversation is a help to you, take a moment to leave a review or share it with a friend.
0:33.0	Thanks for listening.

1:10.7	book in your New Testament,
1:12.3	one of the epistles. So we know that an epistle is a letter. Sometimes the apostle Paul
1:18.0	would write a letter to a church. Sometimes he wrote letters to individuals. But we know that
1:24.6	all of these epistles are part of the Word of God.

1:33.5	Book of Ephesians.
1:34.7	I think it is important for us any time we look at any book of the Bible to ask ourselves
1:40.6	a couple preliminary questions.
1:42.9	For instance, who's writing the book?
