Description

Eugene Peterson, in his book Practice Resurrection, delights in connecting our contemporary context to the ancient biblical text with creativity and imagination. Peterson's "rocket verbs" thrust us upward, inward, and Godward, as we move through discipline toward maturity in Christ with practices that are both classic and contrarian. Everyone is born. And, barring some accident or circumstance of birth, we eventually crawl, and then walk, and then run. We learn to speak. We grow up. Jesus uses this natural progression to speak of another, spiritual birth, becoming alive to God. There is more to life after birth. There is God. And there is growth in our relationship with God. We mature--not just physically or emotionally, but spiritually too. The Holy Spirit forms us, our born-again spirits, into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Join us as we trace the path to maturity in the book of Ephesians in 6 Sundays: July 31 - Ephesians 1 - All for the Glory of God August 7 - Ephesians 2 - Grace and Peace August 14 - Ephesians 3 - God's Manifold Wisdom and Prayer August 21 - Ephesians 4 - One and All August 28 - Ephesians 5 - Love and Worship September 4 - Ephesians 6 - Home and Work and the Devil
