Dive back into the book of Ephesians with us as we explore the rich theology of Ephesians 1 through the lens of Psalm 68, the family of God, spiritual inheritance, the Holy Spirit as God’s pledge, and the cosmic reign of Christ for the benefit of the church. In this episode of the Thinking Kingdom Podcast, we talk about: Why Ephesians feels more like a theological essay than a typical letter How Psalm 68 may serve as a backdrop for understanding the whole book Predestination, election, and what it really means to be “chosen in Christ” The powerful family language of adoption, inheritance, and belonging The Holy Spirit as God’s seal and down payment on what is to come How Ephesians highlights not only what we receive from God, but what God receives in us Christ’s rule over every power and authority for the church’s good The church’s role in God’s cosmic mission against the forces of darkness This is a meaty one.
