We Are Reconciled By The Cross
Rico recounts a personal and painful situation of racism from his childhood and uses it to show how racism pervaded the early church. He explains the extreme tension that existed between Jews and Gentiles and how this has been defeated.
Displaying God's Plan In Christ
The early Ephesian church faced numerous discouragements; not least of which was that their spiritual leader, the apostle Paul, was now in prison. It was from his prison cell that Paul wrote to those belivers giving reasons to be encouraged.
Submitting In Reverence To Christ
Obedience for the believer is not just regarding the gospel but in everyday life. Rico gives Biblical guidance on how we should parent our children, how we should be committed to our employer and how bosses should treat their staff.
