Summary

Ephesians 6:1-9. Our thirteenth week in Paul’s book to the Ephesian church took us to the delightful—and often times troubling—topic of parenting. In this section, Paul definitively instructs God’s people how they are to live as members of the family He’s creating through us. But this family doesn’t work how you’d expect it: slaves and masters serve each other as equals under God’s ultimate Kingship, in the workplace and out, and most importantly—what Paul has been teaching from the first Chapter—we are all family in this Church. These instructions are not merely instructions for biological relationships anymore but for everyone we can claim as brothers in sisters in Christ.
