Sunday Service: Ephesians 2:11-22

Join us this Sunday as Bimi and I continue our series on the Letter to the Ephesians. I am fascinated by Paul’s time in Ephesus—he established the church and spent years laboring in that community. Surrounded by faithful pillars like Mary and John, and supported by friends like Onesimus and Timothy, Paul watched the body of Christ grow. Through these relationships, he gained a profound understanding of how the Trinitarian God works through the Church. This week we will get to hear Paul’s insights in how God works in the church as the body of Christ. As we journey through Ephesians over the next six weeks, I invite you to dig deeper using The Bible Project materials. This week, I recommend watching their short introduction to Ephesians on YouTube (link below) or downloading their app. Blessings and love, Karl
