What do you prayers reveal about you? And what can we learn from the way Paul prays. Peter takes us through this magnificent prayer at the end of Ephesians 3 which captures the fulness of resurrection life.

Living the resurrection life means belonging to a new society where old divisions no longer apply. Peter helps us see how this will shift our focus from ourselves to seeking peace and welcome for others.

In Ephesians 2 Paul gives us a panoramic view of our life before and after we came to Christ. And the difference is stark. We have moved from Death to Resurrection Life. But how does this big picture view help us to live out this new life? Beck points out two things we see about God and one thing we see about ourselves when we step back and remember how we have been saved.

Peter begins our series sermon in Ephesians by calling on us to see that in Christ Jesus we have everything we need to live our lives as his people.

Peter opens the Ezra-Nehemiah series speaking on Ezra 1. The book opens with a word of hope for the Hebrew people in exile. This chapter shows us how (1) God achieves his plans by keeping faithful to his good and trustworthy word, and (2) that God works in people and communities to start something new.
