Sessions with Ephesians is a nine-session study unit designed to explore Paul’s response to a young congregation in need of a definable doctrine and a theological document to meet the needs of an expanding church that was literally being invaded by divisive and contrary philosophies. Each session is followed by thought-provoking questions that allow for a deeper experience of the scriptural passages. Ephesians has been called “the most contemporary book in the Bible.” Strip it of just a few first-century references and it would be easily applicable to the modern church. It was, however, directed to the church of Paul’s day that struggled with issues of inclusion and moving beyond the constraints of ancient Judaism. In this letter we see where God wants to take the church, and, if we truly internalize its words, we see our own unique role in God’s plans.
