EPHESIANS: Doing Life Together

August-October 2025

What does it look like to do life together with other people? How do we build and nurture strong and healthy communities? In his letter to the Ephesian church, Paul writes about matters such as unity, maturity, collective responsibility, and dealing with difference in a healthy and constructive way.

In working through Ephesians together as a church family, we can have discussions about importand and current matters facing our community, and how to deal with and work through them from a biblical perspective. Paul’s teachings build upon and recontextualise Jesus’ teachings for a new generation and a different culture.

For our diverse church family, the message of Ephesians is a discussion more relevant than it ever has been. How do we move forward together as a diverse church family – one, but not the same. How do we nurture strong and healthy marriages and families? And how do we live together in such a way that we can be a model and example for the culture around us?

We will work through Ephesians chapter by chapter, exploring the themes and important message of the letter.
