Ephesians

Ephesians casts God’s vision for his people, and therefore the world. God’s vision is that we’d be one with him and one with each other, living a life worthy of the calling we received. This is the first of several plans through Ephesians, and it starts surprisingly with Ephesians 5:21-33. Here we get some practical advice for husbands and wives, which is about far more than husbands and wives. This short, little passage gives us a window into what Ephesians is about! 

Ephesians 5:21-33 | Husbands and Wives and Christ and His Church

The Bible's letters weren't written to be studied from a safe distance — they landed in real cities, addressed real crises, and cost the people who received them something. This reading plan by Nathan Finochio walks through the New Testament epistles with theological honesty, tracing the single thread connecting every letter: Jesus is sufficient, preeminent, and better than every alternative. From the chaos of Corinth to the pressure of Philippi, the gospel kept doing what it always does—dismantling false systems, unifying divided people, and forming unlikely disciples into the image of Christ.

The Pauline Epistles

Ephesians casts God’s vision for his people, and therefore the world. God’s vision that we’d be one with him and one with each other, and then live by that calling we received. That oneness is found in Christ. This is our second plan through Ephesians, which starts with Ephesians 5:21-33. This week hammers home that God chose us, saved us, predestined us, redeemed us, and every other salvation word imaginable. There’s no reason to doubt. God has chosen me!

At the heart of God’s story is a dream — that we would be one with Him and with each other. This has always been His plan and His vision for humanity. This Bible reading plan lays the foundation for understanding how God designed His Church to reflect His unity, how His love brings us together across every difference, and how we can stand strong against whatever tries to divide us. You were never meant to live independent from God and His people. You were made for oneness — with Him and one another, fully united in Christ.

Full Armor of God

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. He tries to get us to compare ourselves over social status, accomplishments, appearance, and position. 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!
