God's big plan, Paul tells the Ephesians, is to unite all things in Christ (Eph 1:10). And as the letter unfolds, it becomes clear that Jesus is not only the centre and goal of that unity, but the one who achieved it—on the cross.
He himself is our peace, says Paul. In his death and resurrection, Jesus smashed down all the barriers of sin and hostility that divide us from God and from one another, and freed us to live a new Spirit-filled life of love, thanksgiving and unity.
In He is Our Peace, well-known British preacher and author David Jackman is our wise and helpful guide through Paul's majestic letter to the Ephesians.

About Pathway Bible Guides
Seeing Things God's Way is part of this new series of Pathway Bible Guides. They aim to provide simple, straightforward Bible study material for:
Accordingly, the studies are designed to be short, straightforward and easy to use, with an uncomplicated vocabulary. At the same time, the writers have tried to do justice to the passages being studied and to model good Bible-reading principles. They have tried to be simple without being simplistic; no-nonsense without being no-content.
The questions and answers assume a small group context but can easily be adapted to suit different situations, such as individual study and one to one.
This is a great study guide for small groups. I think it is particularly well suited to groups who are quite new to doing bible studies as it fits easily into the time we have and it is a great way to encourage new people to lead. Because there is not too much to cover, but there is plenty of meaty teaching available it is also well suited to adapting to the level of your particular group. A great series.
