Ephesians Chapter 3 – A Commentary & Explanation Photo by   Sincerely Media   on   Unsplash Ephesians 3 always feels like stepping into a heartfelt confession, almost like Paul suddenly pauses and goes, “Okay… let me tell you why all this matters so deeply to me.” The whole chapter has this soft, emotional glow to it. There's theology in it, yeah, but there’s also this raw, personal humanity. You can kinda feel Paul’s heart beating between the lines. Let’s walk through it slowly. Not rushing. Just breathing Scripture like fresh air. Verse 1 — “For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles…” Paul calls himself a prisoner of Christ , not of Rome. That always hits me. Like he’s saying, “My life doesn’t belong to earthly circumstances; it’s tied to Jesus.” Imagine having chains on your wrists but still believing you’re exactly where God wants you. I don’t know if I could do that without complaining a bunch. I once talked to an older man in c...

  Ephesians Chapter 2 – A Commentary (Verse by Verse) Photo by   Sincerely Media   on   Unsplash Sometimes when I turn the page to Ephesians 2, I pause for a second. I don’t know why. Maybe because chapter 1 felt like warm sunlight and blessings dripping down like honey… and chapter 2 reminds me where we actually came from. It’s a bit jarring, like stepping from a warm room into a cold hallway. But in a good way, because it makes the warmth sweeter when you step back in. Ephesians 2:1 – “You were dead in your trespasses and sins…” Dead. Not “kinda tired spiritually.” Not “a little confused.” Dead. Paul isn’t sugarcoating anything, he just goes for the jugular. And honestly, I think we forget sometimes how dead we were. Dead people don’t move. Don’t save themselves. Don’t crawl toward God. They just… lie there. When I was younger, I used to think of sin like a naughty list. But Paul here—he says sin wasn’t just misbehavior. It was a grave. And we were in it. ...

Ephesians Chapter 1 – A Commentary & Bible Study (Verse by Verse) Photo by   Sincerely Media   on   Unsplash Sometimes when I open the book of Ephesians, especially chapter 1, I feel this warm kinda swirl in my heart, like stepping into a room where someone already lit a candle earlier, and the scent stayed behind. You know that soft, sweet smell that almost feels like memory? That's what Ephesians 1 is like for me. It’s Paul writing from prison, can you imagine? A cold wall behind him, maybe the scrape of metal chains every time he moved. And yet—he writes about blessings, heavenly places, grace overflowing like someone turned on a tap and forgot to close it. So today, I wanna walk slowly through Ephesians chapter 1. Verse by verse. Sometimes stopping too long, sometimes rushing a bit, sometimes just rambling like people do when something touches deep inside. Not perfect. Not polished. But real. Ephesians 1:1 – “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of Go...

  Introduction to the Book of Ephesians – A Commentary & Study                Photo by Sincerely Media on Unsplash Sometimes when I open the Book of Ephesians, I get this odd little flutter in my chest. You know, that feeling like you're standing on the edge of something big but quiet, like a sunrise that’s happening just for you if you slow down enough to see it. The words of Ephesians aren’t loud like the thunder of Exodus or heart-breaking like Lamentations or complicated like some long Old Testament genealogy. They’re more like a gentle but deep river that looks calm at the surface but has a strong, guiding current underneath. And honestly, sometimes I read Ephesians when I feel kinda lost in my own thoughts, or when my identity feels like it’s slipping around like soap in shower (weird metaphor maybe, but it’s true). Paul has this way of grounding your soul gently and firmly at the same time. So today, let’s sit and talk through ...

Galatians Chapter 6 – Commentary & Explanation  Photo by  Sincerely Media  on  Unsplash Galatians 6 always feels like Paul’s voice softens. After all the fire of earlier chapters — fighting for grace, warning them about legalism, battling against religious pressure — this chapter feels like someone who’s tired but loving deeply. Almost like a parent giving last pieces of advice before the kids head out the door. It’s not harsh. It’s warm. And honestly, some parts feel like Paul was holding back tears. Let’s walk through it slowly… humanly. Galatians 6:1 — “If someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual restore them gently…” This verse hits differently depending how your life been lately. Paul isn’t saying “expose them,” or “drop them,” or “lecture them.” He says restore. And gently. You ever seen a friend break down because they messed up badly? And you can tell they already feel crushed, so the last thing they need is someone stomping on their...
