How does Psalm 3 point to Jesus' salvation? What are we supposed to do with the Prayers David prayed to harm others?
"I have been accustomed to call this book, I think not inappropriately, An Anatomy of the Soul; for there is not an emotion of which anyone can be conscious that is not here represented as in a mirror. Or rather, the Holy Spirit has here drawn to the life all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all the distracting emotions with which the minds of men are wont to be agitated." John Calvin said this about the book of Psalms. For the summer of 2022 Evanston Bible Fellowship will take a look at the first few Psalms. Join with us as we journey through this book through the series titled "Anatomy Of The Soul".

Could you imagine a soldier going into a situation like this without his body armor, boots, kevlar, or weapon? Well the reality is that even now, we are engaged in a much more profound spiritual war that is raging all around us. But God has given us his strength and has thoroughly equipped us with the whole armor of God. In this passage, Paul’s imagery is drawn from the prophecy of Isaiah. You see, it is God’s own armor, which he and his Messiah have worn, that is now provided for his people as they engage in spiritual warfare.

Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is all about the unity of the church in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit according to the plan of God! The first half presents a grand vision of our cosmic unity in Christ (ch 1-3), and the second half shows us how to live in light of our unity in Christ (ch 4-6). Our prayer is that this exploration of Ephesians will deepen our understanding of God’s pervasive gospel, give us a higher view of Christ’s church, speak boldly into relevant cultural issues, provide practical answers to critical questions, and pour out grace-filled encouragement on those of us who feel tired, discouraged, lonely, beat up, or confused. Welcome to Ephesians!
