Ephesians Sermon Series

Most of Paul's letters were written to churches with pressing problems that had to be addressed in his letters. One of the exceptions is the letter to the church in Rome (Romans), which was written to a church that Paul did not know very well because he had never been there, so he laid out his message in great detail. It is wonderful and we actually studied that two years ago.

The other exceptions include the letter to the Ephesians (and it's sister book, Colossians). Paul actually had been in Ephesus and most likely this was a congregation he had preached to for about three years. He was writing this church a reminder of the things he had taught. It is amazingly concise and powerfully written. We will be studying the book in sections over the course of the 2008-2009 year.

"A Word from Shelley"


Summer, at last! I know that a lot of
kids are happy about that—and a lot of
parents are gearing up for a vast quantity
of quality time with their kids! We have
some exciting things in store, especially the Teen Mission Project to Appalachia. What a thrill to see these young people working to make a difference in the world for God. We will be commissioning them on June 7th and they will be leaving a week later to serve in Maytown, Kentucky. After they get back, we’ll have a chance to hear and see what they did (we’ll let you know which Sunday they’ll give that report).
