 Ma'am, you are on mute. Thanks, Sid. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today's session on New Testament survey. Today, we're going to study on the episode of Paul writing to the church at Ephesians. So before we could begin, can I request one of us to please lead us in prayer? Zelle, would you like to? Yes, sure, Pastor. Let's pray. Father God, we come before your presence in the name of Jesus. Father, I want to thank you so much for this brand-new day as we begin our class. I pray that you bless each one of us. You bless our pastor as she teaches us. Give her your wisdom, your grace, and also bless each one of us so that our hearts are receptive so that we can learn new things from your work. As we study the book of Ephesians, we commit our love, our time, everything into a character of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Zelle. Thank you. So even before we could begin, let me present the presentation. Okay. So today, we're going to study on the book of Ephesians, a church that is built on Christ. So in the book of Ephesians, totally we have about six chapters. So the first three chapters, the six chapters are divided into two. And the first three chapters where we see our position in Christ, who we are in Christ has been declared very clearly. And then from chapter four to six, we see our practice on Christ. We see that. In chapter one, we see that what God has done for us, emphasis on the sovereignty of who God is. And then chapter two, verse one to 10, talks about what Christ has done in us, where it emphasizes on this grace. And then from chapter two, verse 11 to chapter three, verse 21, it talks about what Christ has done between us, where it emphasizes on the reconciliation. And in chapter four, we see that from verse one to 16, it talks about our new unity, that is our identity in Christ on this earth, where we have a new unity, where the scripture clearly says that we are no more our old being, but we have been born new. How? In the way that we live our life, in the way that we lead our life. And chapter four, verse 17 to chapter six, verse nine, it talks about a new walk, a new lifestyle. When we are in Christ, how things change in us automatically, because no more we are living our life the way we used to live before. But then now things are changing, because we have Christ himself who lives in us. And then chapter six, verse 10 to 20, we see that our new strength, because our identity is in Christ. We have been strengthened with him, the armor of God. Okay, we see the complete armor of God from verse 10 onwards. We see how we need to put on the armor of God. And then we see the emphasis on the whole book, like the first three chapters, emphasizes on our vertical relationship with God and man. And then verse four to six, we see the practical bit, the relationship with others, which is horizontal. And then we see the key verse, the core phrase here, this in chapter one verse four. Can I request one of us to read? Chapter one verse four, please. Sid, can you read chapter one verse four? Just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. So what do we see here? Chapter one verse four, we see that he chose us in him before the foundation of the earth. So God knows each one of us, even before the foundation of the earth. And in time, God has released us into this earth. Can I request Sid to read chapter four verse one? Ephesians chapter four verses one. As a prisoner for the Lord, then I urge you to live a life of worthy, of calling you to have, you have received. So here we see, Paul is encouraging each one of us to walk worthy of the calling with which we are called forth. Each one of us have a calling. There is a call. There is a purpose which last semester when we studied on fulfilling God's purpose, we saw that each one of us have been called for a purpose and there is a part that each of us should play in. It's not that, okay, God is called. Everything will happen automatically. No, we have a role. We need to participate. We need to collaborate with Christ. We need to, you know, we need to be willing enough to walk worthy of the calling that God has called us. And we see some of the subjects, a declaration of heavenly truths that is there in chapter one, two, three. And we also see the exhortations for earthly living and some of the three prayers that has been recorded in this book is Paul's prayer for the Ephesians. From chapter one, verse 15 to 23, we see Paul's prayer for the Ephesians. And chapter three, verse 14 to 21, we see Paul's prayer for the whole church. To 20, we see Christian's prayer for one another. So we see the importance of prayer here, just like how we saw in the Gospel, like how Jesus took time to pray and prayer was the vital key for a Christian life. Here we see Paul emphasizing on prayer. We need to talk to God. We need to develop this relationship with God where we can come to Him at any time for any reason and come to Him in prayer. So here we see Paul emphasizing on prayer. And the whole theme of this book is the Holy Community God is creating and how it is to live out its calling. And the key verses here is chapter one, verse nine. Can I request one of y'all to read? There are many key verses, but we will just focus on these two, chapter one, verse nine to 10. If time permits, I can share the other key verses as well with the class. Ephesians chapter one, verses nine and 10. And he made known to us, and he made known to us the mystery office will according to his good pleasures, which he purposed in Christ to be put into the effect when the times will be reached their fulfillment to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. Yes. Thank you. Can I request one of y'all to turn to chapter four, verse one to three? Ephesians chapter four, verse one to three. Idea for the prisoners of the Lord beseech you that ye work worthy of the vocation where which ye are called with all luminance and makeness, with non-sanghuni for bearing one another in love endeavor, endeavoring to keep the unities of the spirit in the bond of peace. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. So in the first key verse we see we have the redemption in Christ. We have been redeemed in Him. There is a purpose that He has called an in fullness of time. He will release us. He will dispense us. We see the redemption in Christ. And in the second key verse we see to walk in unity where we need to be, to walk in all lowliness and gentleness with long suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of spirit in the bond of peace. Amen. And then Christ in the book of Ephesians, the last verse we see that Jesus is a source of spiritual blessing. Jesus is a source of the spiritual blessing, the cornerstone of the church and the goal of the spiritual maturity. So with that we will move on to study the book of Ephesians. I'll just stop presenting. Give me a minute please. I'll just share a little bit about the background of Ephesians so that we understand what is happening there. The author of this book, who's the author of this letter? Ma'am Paul. Yes, Paul is the author of this letter. The book of Ephesians was written to God's holy people in Ephesians. We see that in chapter 1 verse 1. He says that Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God to the saints who are in Ephesians and faithful in Jesus Christ. And it was intended for the circulation among the seven churches of Asia Minor. How do we know that? In chapter 2 and 3. So the city of Ephesians had a large commercial port city in Asia Minor. So in the present day it is called as Turkey which is located at the mouth of Caster River. So being the capital of the Roman province of Asia, Ephesians was considered to be the gateway to Asia. Additionally, the city of Ephesians was known as a center for pagan worship and the temple of Greek goddesses, Artemis Beth, the Roman goddesses. It is also known as Diana. So considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and was located just outside the city limits. And people across the world traveled to Ephesians to visit this temple and the industry of a blacksmith grew and became very prosperous because he was selling the silver idols of Artemis, the goddesses of Artemis or goddesses of Diana there. So his business was prospering. So what happened now? When Paul stepped into the city he started sharing the good news. He started proclaiming the good news to the people around there. Then people started receiving the gospel message. So when they started to receive the message of gospel they stopped buying those idols or worshipping the goddesses of Artemis. So what happened? The business was affected because the business of this person his name is Dieterius was affected. So what he did? He called others called others and he created a riot to go against Paul. So Demetrius plotted against Paul and enticed a large angry crowd people to come against Paul. The history says there were about 24,500 people shouting saying great is Artemis of Ephesians. Ephesians officials they were scared about this great experience. So what happened? So the officials of the Ephesians got scared. They may harm Paul. So they want to protect him. So what they did? They protected Paul and his followers and eventually they sent them out safe. So that he is safe. And the Christians became the official of the city. Yes, Paul stayed there about 3 years and he could minister to the people of Ephesians and Christianity grew in this place. So as we see this we should also know that the history says Mary the mother of Jesus seemed to she was living there along with John after the death of Jesus. So they have made a home and they were staying there. Even now they have a church and there's a house of Mary which is there. And also we see one second I'm just getting out the personal name. So Paul stayed in Ephesians about 3 years and during this time Paul has made Ephesians as his headquarters and having received a good report about these churches where he received this report through Titicus was a Titicus and he was ready to make a trip to Ephesians. So Paul caught hold of this opportunity to send the 3 letters 3 letters through Titicus. These are the 3 letters that he wrote in the prison when he was at Rome and it is also known as the prison epistle. There are 3 that is Ephesians, Colossians and the letter to Philemon. These are the 3 letters that Paul wrote when he was in prison and it is also known as prison epistle. So who is Titicus? Can anyone tell? They also call him as Titicus. Who was Titicus? Did we get to hear his name before? Well, when we study we see Titicus is only mentioned about 5 times in the New Testament but the ministry he provided was worthy. So we see in Paul first met Titicus in Acts chapter 20 verse 4. Can I request one of us to turn to Acts chapter 20 verse 4 please? Acts chapter 20 verse 4 who is ready to read? And Sophetra of Berya accompanied him to Asia also Aristaacus and Secundus of Thessalonians and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy and Titicus and Trophimus of Asia. So we see that Paul met him there. During Paul's third missionary journey he mentioned as one of Paul's companion on the way from Corinth to Jerusalem to deliver a gift to the church there. So we learn that Titicus or yeah, Titicus was a native of Asia or Asia Minor in today. So Titicus is called a dear brother by Paul and a faithful servant of the Lord. In Ephesians chapter 6 verse 21 this is what Paul mentioned him as and also in Colossians chapter 4 verse 7 we see that Paul mentions Titicus as his faithful minister and a fellow servant. He was with Paul during this first Roman imprisonment. So he was entrusted to deliver Paul's letter to the churches of Ephesians, Colossians and to Philemon to bring the news of the Apostle to those in the congregation and Titicus will tell you the news about we read that in Colossians chapter 4 verse 7 to 8 that I am sending him to you to express the purpose that you may know about our faith and that he may encourage your hearts. We also see that in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 22 can I request one of us to read Ephesians chapter 6 verse 22 Ephesians chapter 6 verses 22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose that you may know how we are and that we may encourage you. So we see that encouragement is also mentioned as part of Titicus ministry and along with Titicus we also see Onesimas and we will not talk about him much now but yes we will talk about him when we study the letter to Philemon and so with that we will move on to the main letter of Ephesians. So keeping this as the background like Paul visited this city of Ephesians in his second missionary journey how do we know that we see that in Acts chapter 18 verse 19 to 31 when we study we see that Paul visits first he visits the Ephesians in his second missionary journey and on that occasion he was Harid because he wants to read Jerusalem for the council on time so he is in the Harid so he could not stay there for a long time so he briefly ministers in the synagogue and he leaves to Jerusalem but then Paul comes back in his third missionary journey to Ephesians and he stays there for three long years because he knows the importance of this place so he stays there for three long years and he minister and he founds the church in Ephesians in Acts chapter 19 we see that Paul's first converts where the disciples of John the Baptist where when we read Acts chapter 19 verse 7 1 to 7 we see Apollo's being the disciple of John the Baptist he comes and ministers to people and here Paul meets the 12 of them 12 of them and he ministers to them he shares the gospel to them and he finds that they have been baptized by the baptism of John the baptism of repentance so here Paul shares about the Holy Spirit and then he baptizes them Paul very few instances we see that Paul baptizing the people but because his call is only to share the gospel and minister the good news to the Gentiles so we see that Paul sharing the gospel message to the disciples the 12 disciples of John and then he baptizes them and when they have been baptized you see that they have been filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and that's how his ministry begins at the place of Ephesias so in Acts 19 we see that Paul spent about three months ministering in the local synagogue before he could step out how did he step out what happened what was the instance that happened for which the reason was Paul to step out from synagogue what happened was we see that he was rejected in the synagogue because some of the Jews were causing trouble in the previous letters we see that the same Jews came even near they started sharing to the other Jews were living in Ephesias so they started rejecting Paul's teaching and that also would have been one of the reason where Paul had to step out of synagogue and move outside and we see that this did not stop Paul from sharing the gospel when Paul moved out of synagogue he started teaching and preaching to the Gentiles outside and in Acts 1910 we see that all in Asia heard the word some have suggested that seven churches of Asia which is described in chapter 1 to chapter 3 may have been started during this time it could be either directly or indirectly through the ministry of Paul which was started and in Acts 19 verse 11 when we read can I request one of us to turn to Acts 19 verse 11 Acts 19 verses 11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul yes we see that when Paul stepped out he started preaching the good news on the streets we see unusual miracles by the anchor chair for by touching his ebophist clothes unusual miracles started happening the signs wonders and miracles and through these many Gentiles came to the knowledge of Christ they received Jesus as the Lord and Saviour we also see some magicians were dramatically saved and in verse 20 we see that the word of God grew mightily and prevailed and the gospel disrupted the local trade in goddesses replicas and silver shrines which affected the business of Demetrius a local silversmith and we also know what he did he instigated riot against Paul because his business was affected and Paul felt that it was it was time for him to leave so that the work could continue there he has raised enough of spiritual leaders who were strong in the word and they would continue the ministry so as it turned out Paul would spend nearly 3 years ministering in Ephishes and that was the longest time that he could spend there in his entire ministry when compared to the other places so what do we know about the city of Ephishes as I briefly shared in the starting it was one of the top 5 cities of the world in those days other than Alexandria or Antioch or Corinth or Rome and it was one of the major shipping port and crossroads for the merchants were moving goods from east to west so they had to drop in and they also visited this temple which was one of the seven wonders in those days and it was a very wealthy city and had many of the and same issues like the issues that was there because they worshiped this goddesses, goddesses of Artemis or Diana she was the goddesses of fertility so there were many similar issues that the Corinthian church was facing the place was facing same issues we could find even at the place of Ephishes so it was a huge temple and there was a major tourist attraction in those days and it was one of the seven wonders and it highly yes there was lot of Jews who were staying there and because there was a many Jews who were living there they started a synagogue in that place we see that in Acts chapter 290 we see that the synagogue was there and even when Paul visited first Ephishes he started this ministry in the synagogue this place received the ministry from many key leaders Ephishes was ministered by Paul Akila Priscilla, Apollos then later by Timothy and Apostle John we all know where this book was written where was it written where was this letter to Ephishes was written yes Pragalobega please go ahead I don't remember but I think it was in the book this book was written in the prison of Rome that's why it is known as a prison epistle there were three letters written in the prison one is sorry four letters written in the prison that is Philippians, Colossians the letter to Philemon and Ephishes so it is Ephishes Ephesians were one of the four which letters that is written in the prison how do we know that when we turn to Ephesians chapter 6 can we turn to Ephesians chapter 6 verse 19 to 20 Ephesians chapter 6 verse 19 to 20 Ephesians chapter 6 verse 19 to 20 pray also for me that whenever I open my mouth words may be given me so that I will fear will be fearless make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains pray that I may declare it fearlessly as I should thank you so we see that he was in chains as he writes this letter he was in the prison so there are four letters that he wrote when he was in the prison of Rome that is Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon and it was most likely written sometime between 60 to 64 AD and it was written for no particular reason there is no reason why he is writing this letter but then just to know the well-being when he wrote the other letters from prison he had a specific purpose in mind when he wrote but this letter was just to know the well-being of people this is the significant because it tells us what is meditation where while he was in the custody we see that the letter to Philippians was written to thank them for their offering to encourage them during this time of suffering and there is a reason why he wrote the letter to Colossians to request the founder to correct certain doctrinal errors and then the letter to Philemon was written to Philemon to accept the return of his slave Onesima so there is a purpose why he was writing each and every letter but with Ephesians it was a well-being and what was the main theme of this book we can refer to our notes and can you tell me what is the main theme of this book of Ephesians it is a letter of encouragement where we see as we read this letter we understand that Paul though he was in prison see his mind was not focused on his bondage on that he is put in prison or he's been chained but then he focused on what he had he set his mind above and not on the situation that he was in though he was in difficult time but here we see that he is completely focused on the freedom that we had in Christ and he is encouraging each one of us to have this mindset no matter what situation and circumstance we would we are in but then he is encouraging each one of us to be focused on Christ because we have a true freedom in Christ so Paul focused on what he had in Christ and not on what he did not have when we read Ephesians chapter 1 verse 1 to 14 we see that this portion more closely resembles to the Psalms where it talks about how blessed we are in Christ he lifts God in praise and thanksgiving for the benefits that he has just like how the Psalmist said like in Psalms 103 he said bless the Lord of my soul and forget not all his benefits despite the situation what Psalmist was in despite the situation what David was in but then we see that he glorifying God in this situation in a similar manner Paul is doing even before this when we were studying the book of facts we see the instances where Paul and Silas were in prison what did Paul and Silas do they rejoiced and God they started singing praise to God even the prisoners the the prison in charge was shocked at the very attitude that they carried and we see the same attitude being very contagious and Paul no matter which situation he is in he has been continually giving praise and thanks to God and we see the heart of gratitude and Paul which is giving praise to God we also see some of the chapters here chapter 1 talks about the eternal purpose of the church and the pre-eminent one in Christ and chapter 2 talks about the temple of God and the chief corner stone in Christ and chapter 3 talks about the family of God the church is the family of God and Christ is the first born of son and the very aspect of the purpose of this is multiplicity how we can spread the gospel of Christ and chapter 4 in Ephesians chapter 4 talks about the church as the body of Christ and Christ as the head of the body and the function as when we talk about the body the function of the body different parts and its function it talks about it and in chapter 5 we see the church as the bride of Christ and Christ has been the husband of the wife and the purpose here we see the bride for son and in chapter 6 we see that the church is the army of God and Christ the captain of the army and we see the very purpose is the dominion and Paul focuses on what is happening in the heavenly realms and not what we see with our eyes we see how Paul described though he was in chain he describes about the freedom in Christ and the very key verse in this book we see that the heavenly places in chapter 1 verse 3 we see that blessed be the God let me read that to you blessed be the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus look at how he sets his focus on Christ on Father on the heavenly places much beyond what he was living in we see the freedom in his spirit so nothing could bind him nothing could grip him and keep him bonded nothing could keep him in the bondage but then in his spirit he was free because he set his focus on Christ he set his identity on Christ so what are the distinct features that we see in this book of Ephesians we see that Paul in chapter 2 4 and 6 we see that Paul referenced referring the 3 different spiritual postures as a believer that we have can I request one of us to turn to Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6 before we could close I want to end with few points that is very important Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6 and the other can turn to Ephesians chapter 4 verse 1 and the next person can take up Ephesians chapter 6 verse 11 someone has taken Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6 please go ahead and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus thank you we see that he has made us where the believer has the position in Christ we are seated in Christ with him in the heavenly places and chapter 4 1 can I request one of us to turn to chapter 4 1 Ephesians chapter 4 verses 1 as a prisoner for the Lord then I urge you live a life worthy of calling you have received amen so as a believer we need to work worthy the calling that we have received we need to work worthy of the Lord and Ephesians chapter 6 verse 11 Ephesians chapter 6 verses 11 put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes against the wilds of the devil so we see that as a believer we need to take a posture we need to take a stand to resist the devil so that we can work worthy of the calling that God has called each one so we need to take a stand so that we can resist the work of the devil Paul also describes going forward in chapter 2 verse 11 to 22 we see that Paul describes the relationship of the Jews and Gentiles in Christ so he describes how was they form a condition what was the condition of the Gentiles in that place when they were living in Ephesians they were very fleshly, uncircumcised without Christ they lived a lifestyle without Christ they were strangers from the covenant of the promise of God they had no hope they lived a life in this world without God but once they received Jesus through Paul's ministry we see that they lived their life in having an identity in Christ they lived a life of peace with God and man they learned to dwell to love and have peace with others as they built a relationship with God vertically they also lived in peace horizontally they loved each other they were a new creation all things have gone they stopped doing what they were doing they stopped from those ritual practices or worshipping idols or the black magic which they practiced in that place they stopped from all that but now they received Jesus as the Lord and Saviour and they started to live a life in that identity and also we see that the relationship that they developed with God has come to grow more in God and we also see the unity among the Jews and Gentiles and Paul gives us a close look at the 5 fold ministry can I request one of y'all to turn to Ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 we see the 5 fold ministry has been mentioned here Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 it was he who gave us some to be apostles some to be prophet, some to be evangelist and some to be pastors and teacher yes so you always see Paul giving us some to be apostles there is a call of God and each one of our life here we see that when we read from verse 7 onwards we see that but to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift therefore he says when he ascended on high he led captive, captivity captive and gave gifts to men now this he ascended what does it mean but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth he who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens that he might fill all things and he gave and he himself gave some to be apostles talks about the call of God how Jesus called each one into the 5 fold ministry and he says some of them were called as apostles prophets evangelist pastors and teachers the 5 fold ministry function has been mentioned here for the equipping of the saints he called all this 5 fold ministry for what purpose to equip the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ for the expansion of God's kingdom on this earth we also see in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 to 18 we see that how Paul gives us the detailed description of the armor of God how important is the armor of God that we need to wear the armor of God in verse 13 he says therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand stand therefore having girded yourself your waist with truth having put on the breastplate of righteousness and having showed your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God verse 18 talks about praying always with all prayer and supplication in spirit being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints and for me that utterance may be given to me that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel so it is so very important for each of us to wear the armor of God which Paul gives us in this verse overall the whole letter talks about the letter of efficiency is a letter of encouragement it is a powerful revelation of what God has done for each of us in Christ and how we have to live our life as believers on this earth as we say as we learn that I'll just share some of the key verses and also I'll share the reflection that we have here give me a minute please as I share this these are some of the key verses that we can make a note of from all the six chapters verse 1 to 3 we see chapter 1 verse 3 we see that blessed with every spiritual blessing and same like that in each chapter these are the key verses that will help us to remember the book of Ephesians how important it is and I will leave with this so Paul in this letter presented the gift of God in Christ and the benefits that we have received by being in Christ remember how Paul wrote this epistle from the present so when he was in the prison he writes about the glorious inheritance that we have in Christ not remembering like his bondage or his restrictions but then he sees the freedom that he has in Christ so with that I'll leave the two questions if you were to write an epistle like Paul from prison what would it be we need to ponder on this would it be on the suffering on the difficult things that each of us would be facing or enquiring the goodness enquiring the wellness about others and encouraging them even in this situation the second question is how have we grown in Christian life since we came to faith in Christ Jesus I'll leave the class with these two questions to ponder on and I keep this time open for any of us to share or add to our learning on this letter please feel free to unmute and share your learning any insights that you have that you would like to add please go ahead yes Praga Lubega please go ahead yes ma'am though I have not followed the lesson because I was stressed up with some of his work here but there is where I read there is where I read and they say that Paul wrote that letter with the name with the address to the Ephesus but they had written also so many other letters that do not have a name so they say that it is possible that one of that letter was the letter he had written to the people of Lubega this year because I don't know what is your take about that because I think those two letters there is Ephesus and Ephesians and there is Colossians they look to be like between episodes but again there is where we read when he says that you take that letter I think it is in Colossians where it says that you should also read the letter of Lodicea so do you think it is possible that it is the same letter he gave to Lodicea because there are so many copies of Ephesians which have no name which is where the letter written to the church of it is empty what do you think about that thank you Lubega for sharing that see this letter was written to share among the seven churches but about Lodicea I am not too sure about I am not too sure about that exactly thank you so much but then we can look in and get back to it but then yes this letter was meant to be circulated to all the seven churches in Asia Minor okay anyone else would like to share or add John, Zellie, Jeffina Joy Paul, Aradhana you would like to add or share your insight okay as I didn't hear we can end the session with a word of prayer can I
