Ephesians Sermon Series
The Church of Jesus Christ is God’s reflection of his unified and diverse nature on display to the world. His church is “God’s Enduring Community” called out of the world and called into a new family with Christ as our head. Each member is empowered by God to live for others, that we all may live for Christ. The book of Ephesians tells the beautiful eternal story of God’s love for the world. We will be studying this epistle this fall in the morning services.
