Our goal is to explore the narratives of the Bible in light of their cultural and literary context. As we study the Bible, we want to get inside the mind of the author(s) to understand the intended meaning of scripture and how scripture informs our hope in Jesus.

Ep 124: Eph 6:1-9 Children & Parents, Slaves & Masters
Continuing his instructions of mutual service, Paul tackles more difficult household relationships.

What Paul says is directly applicable to the unity of our churches and families today.
