Ep. 60 - Ephesians 2:11-22 | From Alienation to Citizenship
Podcast:Bible Caddie Podcast Published On: Thu Feb 01 2024 Description: In this episode, the guys unpack Ephesians 2:11-22. In these verses, Paul commands the Ephesians to remember where they were apart from Christ— separated from Him and His people and His promises— and thus without God and without hope. And yet, Christ has won peace with God and others through His death on the cross. As a result, the Ephesians believers, and all who trust Christ, are citizens of God’s kingdom, members of His household, even His very dwelling place, because the work of Christ has been applied to our lives. 00:00 Introduction and PGA Tour Announcement 03:31 Negotiations with LIV Tour 07:45 Discussion about Pickleball 10:13 Preview of Pebble Beach Tournament 14:15Introduction to the Book of Ephesians 18:22 The Division between Jew and Gentile 25:00The Unity in Christ 33:30 The Cross as the Ultimate Unifier 36:45 Access to God and Unity 37:21 Peace with God and Others 39:30 Access to Exclusive Places 41:08 New Position in God's People 41:53 Citizenship and Membership in God's Household 43:56 The Church as the Temple of God 45:12 Identity in Christ 46:21 Access to God through Christ's Sacrifice
