The Centrality of Community

Brad Dufault examines Ephesians 4 to establish that Christian community is central to the Christian life, not optional. He walks through Ephesians 1-3, showing how Paul spends three chapters describing God's blessings and grace before giving his first command in chapter 4—a command focused on unity and bearing with one another in love. Dufault argues that trying to follow God outside of community is like trying to swim outside of water, and he prepares listeners for a deeper study of verses 11-16 on what healthy community looks like in practice.
