Sermon Preaching: Preaching Through Ephesians

In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul shows how the grace of God in Christ empowers the church to basic Christian living in a broken world. Paul’s profound expositions of God’s glorious grace and the practical implications of that grace provide pastors with countless reasons to preach through this epistle. The Epistle to the Ephesians also called the Letter to the Ephesians and often shortened to Ephesians, is the tenth book of the New Testament. Its authorship has traditionally been attributed to Paul the Apostle but starting in 1792, this has been challenged as Deutero-Pauline, that is, written in Paul's name by a later author strongly influenced by Paul's thought, probably ""by a loyal disciple to sum up Paul’s teaching and to apply it to a new situation fifteen to twenty-five years after the Apostle’s death""

This sermon series through the letter to the Ephesians is useful for sermon preparation, small group study (questions included), or personal study and devotions. There is always an emphasis on getting at the historical meaning of the text as well as a personal application for today.
