It's time to walk with your head held high. This means that you walk with confidence and strength in who God created you to be. — Lori Wilhite
Beautiful Word Ephesians: Chosen by Lori Wilhite from session one, Ephesians: Head Held High
Welcome to Bible Study of the Week, where every Sunday we give you the free first sessions of video Bible studies from leading authors, pastors, and Bible teachers.
Lori Wilhite is a teacher who serves alongside her husband Jud, the Senior Pastor at Central Church in Las Vegas... which currently has more than twenty-seven locations, including twelve locations inside prisons around the country.
In the Ephesians study, Lori Stanley shows us that the book of Ephesians is all about identity. It's about learning who we are, living who are, and then leveraging who we are. When we do that, we stop walking in defeat.

It's time to walk with your head held high. This means that you walk with confidence and strength in who God created you to be.
Want to walk with your head held high? Embracing that you are chosen changes everything.
Paul declares that you are chosen, adopted, and God's possession. Adoption in the ancient world often meant adopting adult children. If a wealthy family did not have a male heir, they would adopt a son in his twenties or thirties who would inherit the estate.
The Romans weren't apt to adopt infants who were untarnished by life, unaffected by circumstances.
In ancient times, when a debt was paid, the creditor wrote "Paid in full" or "It is finished" across the certificate of debt, meaning the debt was cancelled.

The book of Ephesians is about identity. It's about learning who we are, living who are, and then leveraging who we are. When we do that, we stop walking in defeat, and instead, walk with our heads held high.
Too often, our shoulders slump under the weight of family struggles, financial stress, and feelings of insecurity. We are pushed down by insignificance, insecurity, and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, disappointment and discouragement.
You are not meant to be under that burden any longer. You are a chosen child of God, saved by His grace, forgiven and free. It's time to walk with your head held high.
In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lori Wilhite draws on her experience as the pastor's wife of a large congregation located in the town otherwise named 'Sin City' to share the truth of what Paul tells the Ephesians about unity and its direct reflection of our hearts, our focus, and our love for God.
