Who am I? The question of identity is always in the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God?
Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.
In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling. Features: 6 weeks of personal study segments to be completed between the 7 group sessions.
7 conversation-based videos, inspired by Jackie, Jasmine, and Melissa's popular Let's Talk podcast; approximately 30-40 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book. Leader helps to guide discussions within small groups. Benefits: Engage with discussion-based video content that will inspire conversation in your own life.
Dive into themes of unity with Christ and unity with one another. Comprehend the depths of God's love and discover the blessings of obedience to Christ. Video Sessions: Session 1: Introduction (11:14)— Authors Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger welcome you to the Ephesians Bible study, provide an overview for this book of the Bible, and explain what you can expect from their conversation-based videos.
Session 2: Ephesians 1: Praise & Prayer (41:50)— In this video, the authors discuss Ephesians 1 together. Their conversation includes Paul's detailed list of spiritual blessings for those who are in Christ, as well as Paul’s personal prayer for the Ephesian Christians. Session 3: Ephesians 2: Alive & Unified (33:17)— Belonging to Christ transforms every aspect of our lives.
This is one of the key takeaways from this video session as the authors unpack Paul's words in Ephesians 2. They also discuss how God's grace means we aren’t left dead in our sins, but we’re given new life and invited into relationship with God and His people. Session 4: Ephesians 3: Mystery & Power (34:41)— In this video session, the authors spend time discussing the beautiful mystery Paul describes in Ephesians 3—the expansive reach of God’s love—and they consider how Paul’s example of prayer for others can inspire our own prayers.
Session 5: Ephesians 4: Unity & Maturity (33:53)— Paul’s letter takes a noticeable shift in Ephesians 4. He moves from teaching about who God is to teaching about how to live for Him. Among the topics discussed in this video are the unity and diversity of the body of Christ and distinguishing characteristics of the life of a child of God.
Session 6: Ephesians 5: Light & Love (35:12)— In this video, the authors discuss some of the most memorable topics from Ephesians chapter 5, including the call to imitate God, how to be a light in the Lord, walking in wisdom, and the implications of godly submission within the marriage relationship. Session 7: Ephesians 6: Empowered & Equipped (32:01)— For this final video, Jackie, Jasmine and Melissa conclude their Ephesians study by talking through Ephesians 6, which includes challenging instructions for imitating God in the household codes and Paul’s reminder of the spiritual battle in which all Christians—then and now—find themselves.

A WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
I’m so happy I bought this!! The study is so well done!! And the videos that go with this!! amazing!!!
Very meaty. Great for small groups and discussions!
Amazing study resource. Beautifully written and formatted!!
Ok, I am breaking the 1st rule- I am doing this by myself and so glad I am! Ephesians is one of my favorite books of the Bible. This book and the accompanying videos are done incredibly well. This study takes time and it deserves your time.
I am doing the study along with a group of other women and it has been amazing! The book is very helpful in studying this book in the Bible. The videos they include are also very helpful and informative. I absolutely recommend doing the study by yourself or in a group. Even if you don’t get the book and just study the book of Ephesians on your own. God is so good
Please do yourself a favor and get this study! I cannot fully put into words what a jewel this study is. The 3 women leading the discussions are awesome! I learned so much and appreciate the fact I can go back and review. Please get this!
This is a great in depth study. Meant for a group, but could be done individually.
