This series of exhortations explores the letter to the Ephesians with a focus on how God’s power shapes, sustains, and transforms our daily lives. Brother John McConville leads us through Paul’s inspired message, showing how believers are called into a life of strength, growth, and unity in Christ. Each class emphasizes the practical outworking of faith, encouraging us to see the exceeding greatness of God’s power at work in us, molding us into his children and equipping us to live with purpose, love, and perseverance.
Class 1 – God’s Power Towards Us
The opening study highlights Paul’s assurance that God’s power is active in every believer. Drawing from the resurrection of Christ as the greatest demonstration of divine strength, this class encourages us to trust that the same power can lift us from spiritual weakness to a life of hope and confidence.
Class 2 – God’s Power Gives Christ All
This session reflects on how Christ was exalted above all powers and authorities through God’s might. Believers are reminded that our hope and inheritance are bound to him, and that his position at the Father’s right hand ensures both our security and our calling to grow in wisdom, knowledge, and faith.
Class 3 – God’s Power Makes Us Children
Paul’s words about being no longer strangers but members of God’s household frame this study. The class emphasizes what it means to be fitted together into God’s temple, learning citizenship in his kingdom, and reflecting the spirit of unity, belonging, and purpose as true children of God.
Class 4 – Paul’s Prayer for Believers
This class examines Paul’s heartfelt prayer for the Ephesian believers, stressing the need for lowliness, meekness, long-suffering, and unity in spirit. It calls us to walk worthy of our calling, to keep the bond of peace, and to embody the one faith, one Lord, and one baptism that bind us together in Christ.
Class 5 – Knowing the Love of Christ
The fifth session focuses on Paul’s call to imitate God as dear children, walking in love as Christ loved us and gave himself for us. It challenges believers to move beyond empty ritual into true sacrifice, cultivating a life that reflects Christ’s love, humility, and obedience.
Class 6 – Summary
The final class brings together the themes of the week, applying God’s power to everyday relationships—between husbands and wives, parents and children, and in the workplace. Paul’s practical counsel is shown as an outworking of God’s Spirit, urging believers to live as a holy people, strengthened by Christ and ready for his return.
