Tempted Redux
Sometimes we view temptation as a conflict between the red and white figures on either shoulder. Too often we fall for the little guy with the pitchfork in our cartoon. Jesus faced temptation in a much more brutal, three-dimensional manner against the stark palette of the Judean wilderness. This episode has often been understood as a template for how we too could fight temptation. Nevertheless, we see in this exchange in the wilderness, the story of triumph reenacted against Israel's story--and ultimately our own stories--of failure.

Master of All
Paul continues to address the ramifications of the cosmic scope of the Gospel by addressing Slaves & Masters—the third household relationship, but one that connects to into the Roman society at the time. We can see that a contextual understanding of this provocative text touches upon Monday-Friday cubicle life and the inhumanity of modern slavery.

Newly Human
As with any story of personal transformation; it's what happens on the inside that matters most. Change is not just about losing weight, getting into that prestigious program, and getting promoted --it's about the feeling of accomplishment and worth. In this text in Ephesians, Paul addresses the greatest kind of personal transformation that touches even into areas of who we are that are unconscious. Power transformation comes not from the outside in, but the inside out towards a new way of being human.

Common Unity
We have been habituated to think and live that faith in Christ is a personal spiritual journey to be lived out in relationship between you and God. Paul upends our cultural, individualistic conventions and frames the Gospel life as one walking together with other in common unity. What does it mean, then, to "go to church?"

Empowered From Within
In Pauls prayer for the Ephesians, we see his heart for people to experience Gods power in their souls. We might typically understand the Christian life as a decision for conversion, an emotional experience, or an intellectual pursuit (whether youre a skeptic or a believer). However, we are reminded in this text that at the heart of the unimaginable things that God can do in our lives is his power.
