Decoding Ephesians - Chapter 1

Does God choose who gets saved and who doesn’t? Is predestination really what we’ve been taught? And what did Paul actually mean when he said we were chosen before the foundation of the world?

In this powerful verse-by-verse study of Ephesians Chapter 1, Jim Staley challenges some of Christianity’s most debated doctrines, including predestination, election, Calvinism, Arminianism, and free will.

By returning to the original Hebrew context of Scripture, we uncover a radically different perspective on what it means to be chosen by God.
Discover why Paul wasn’t simply talking about who gets saved, but about God’s covenant, holiness, and the incredible inheritance promised to His people.
In this teaching, you’ll discover:

✦ What predestination actually means in its biblical context.
✦ Who God’s elect really are according to the Torah and the Prophets.
✦ Why understanding Israel is essential to interpreting Paul’s letters.
✦ The connection between God’s covenant, holiness, and our inheritance.
✦ What it means to be sealed with the Holy Spirit.
✦ Why Yeshua’s authority changes everything.

What if we’ve been asking the wrong question about predestination all along?
Join Jim Staley as we uncover the original meaning of Ephesians 1 and discover how understanding Scripture through its first-century Jewish context can transform the way we understand God’s Word.
