In this shortcast Kerry gives an overview of the Epistle to the Ephesians. He covers the historical background and why that has an impact on how we understand the letter. He touches on how the world influences us, how Paul says we can combat that, and on unity. He also explores what Paul teaches about praise, how unity is not just about each other, but how Christ unifies us with God. He explores how Christ creates us anew and thus helps us leave the world and the way we have been behind, and what it has to do with covenants. He also explores how Christ's condescension allows for our ascension. He also touches on Paul's teachings on marriage and how we understand those in light of modern revelation.
