We have reached the end of season 3 and with it, some tough questions. The “circumcised” or “uncircumcised”? Who is in, who is out, and who is closer to God? Spoiler alert, no one. The author of Ephesians draws us in to ask some very important questions of our time and face head on what it means to put the hostility in our world to death on the cross. This is no small feat.. join with us in this hard conversation. Pastors A.J. and Bishop Gohl discuss Ephesians 2:11-22 for Sunday, July 21, 2024.
Discussion Questions:
1. What hostilities do we (you) need to put to death?
2. What do Paul’s words say to us in our current reality?
3. How do we understand the grace that is given to both sides?
4. What is our role in the storm as followers of Jesus?
5. Where is the Good News?
DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded before the shooting at former President Trump’s campaign rally. Though, I think it should be taken into consideration in light of these words from Ephesians.
