Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is one of the New Testament’s most beloved books, yet its brilliant structure and deeper meanings are often overlooked. Throughout the letter, Paul draws on everyday imagery from the “Roman Street” in Ephesus – the slave market, victory parades, bathhouses, theatres, night watchmen, and pubs – to illustrate how a believer’s conduct should stand in stark contrast to the culture around them. In this final episode of “Life in the Roman Empire,” you’ll be equipped with rich and relatable ways to live as a faithful citizen in God’s Kingdom in the midst of our culture today.
