Ephesians

Ephesians presents a wonderful picture of cosmic unity, beginning with a multicultural new humanity: the church. Jesus reigns supreme over whatever powers threaten to grip our lives. He is the one who unites us with each other and with God. Over the course of our six-day series, we will explore the goal of God’s mission, the role the church plays in its fulfillment, and how we can be a part of it.

Without a doubt, believers all around the world experience spiritual warfare. As women, the enemy attacks us with a barrage of lies that we’re not enough.

Oftentimes he distracts us to make us busier than necessary, so we’re too tired or preoccupied to spend time with God. Then when the battles in life come, sometimes we’re just not strong enough to fight back. In this 5-Day Devotional Plan you will discover how to stand strong in spiritual warfare as a kingdom woman in battle!

For thousands of years, multitudes of people just like you have found comfort in the beautiful words God spoke through David in Psalm 23. As a young shepherd who would grow up to slay an unbeatable giant, run from a king who wanted him dead, become king himself and sin so grievously that he murdered to cover it up, David knows a thing or two about trusting God, even when it’s hard. As we’ll discover, rest for our souls comes through surrender, not striving!

The Shepherd and the Sheep

When the Bible is confusing, Through the Word explains it with clear and concise audio guides for every chapter. Here in Ephesians, we learn who we are and how to walk it out. We are adopted by the King and heirs to the Kingdom. And yet it’s all grace. We don’t earn it, but we can walk worthy of it: in unity, humility, and love. Something we call grace swagger.
