“Draw your strength from the Lord and from His mighty power. Put on the armor of God.” Ephesians 6:10-11(a) Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reveals many remarkable gifts that we as Christians are given in the Church. It shows us the great inheritance that awaits us as sons and daughters, adopted fully into the family of God, and reveals how God’s great love for us can transform our daily lives. Ephesians will enrich your faith and show you how to live it out. This letter has been called the “crown and climax” of Pauline thought. Join us for this 8-week Bible Study that will be offered on Tuesday evenings (7:00-8:30) and Wednesday mornings (9:30-11:00) beginning September 25/26 in the East Campus meeting rooms. The cost for the workbook is $13.00, and payment may be made at the first session when the book is distributed.
