The Open Bible Trust Podcast

A great discussion on the great power prayer of Ephesians 3:14-21: power so that Christ will feel at home in our hearts … and power to grasp the extent of Christ’s love.

Sylvia Penny interviews W M Henry and Michael Penny to explore this explosive passage, something so new to the world at that time. God had made Jewish and Gentile Christians one. They were now equal heirs, equal sharers, equal partakers in the Body of Christ. Wow!

Ephesians 2:11-22 is a summary of what God did to bring the Jewish Christians and the Gentile Christians of the Acts Period together into one body in Christ, and this podcast is an excellent discussion of the process and consequences of God doing this.

The fantastic climax of this passage is that in the coming ages God is going to show us “the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus”. What will that involve?

These verses contains Paul’s first fantastic prayer for the Ephesians, in which he prays for them to know the hope of His calling, the riches of His inheritance, and the power available to His people.

These verses contain a great hymn of praise to God for all that He has done for us in Christ and through the work of the Holy Spirit.
