ONE Calling unto God and Others: Ephesians 1–3

In this audio talk, Tim Lane explains why the book of Ephesians was chosen for a marriage conference. Ephesians offers a deep understanding of the Christian life and how it should be lived. Often, we approach marriage with distorted expectations as singles, only to realize that it isn’t what we expected once we’re married. Lane argues that to understand marriage accurately, it must be viewed within the broader context of Ephesians. He highlights that marriage thrives when rooted in a relationship with the Trinity and the church. Lane covers two main points: (1) A true Christian vision of life and transformation, and (2) The essential context for flourishing marriages—relationship with the Trinity and the church. He concludes with practical applications for both marriage and the church.
