Ephesians 4 opens with ‘The Unity of the Spirit’ and we are told to ‘guard’ it , but what is ‘The Unity of the Spirit’ and how are we to ‘guard’ it?

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!

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.

W M Henry interviews Sylvia and Michael Penny to discuss work, labour and toil. Is work a necessary evil? Remember … Adam was told to work in Eden even before the Fall, although afterwards it was going to be harder so … Is work a good thing? A gift from God?

So what does Ecclesiastes say about money, wealth and riches? What are the advantages of wealth? And what are the disadvantages of having riches? In fact … are there any disadvantages? W M Henry interviews Sylvia and Michael Penny to discuss a subject which is very pertinent to the relatively affluent society in which we live.
