John acknowledges the difference between his book and the other gospels when he writes,” Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing you may have life in his name.” This passage reveals the purpose of John’s gospel and that of this study.

For ages, Prophets have afflicted the comfortable and comforted the afflicted, calling us to return to our covenant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Father and show us how to share him, his love, his message with others.

The Exodus can be viewed as the defining moment in Israel’s history, for it was then that God called Israel out of slavery in Egypt and to a life of freedom as His people. Exodus: Called to Freedom looks through the lens of Christ and the Church to show that, more than just seeking to free His people from the domination of Pharaoh, God desired to free His people from the far more sinister tyranny of sin, so they could live the authentic freedom that belongs to children of God.

Paul’s letter reveals many remarkable gifts that we have been given in the Church. It tells us about the nature of the Church – as a body, as a household, a mystery, a communion, a bride and as an army! Ephesians show us the great inheritance that is ours as sons and daughters of God and reveals how God’s great love for us can transform our daily lives.
