This past Sunday, we began our fall series in Saint Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church titled, Ephesians: Beholding the Body of Christ. Preaching from Ephesians 1.15-23, Joshua showed us how God calls us to pray to him that we might know and experience him better, especially that we might know his hope, riches, and power.
Below you will find questions to help you respond to God’s word with your hearts and your lives, so that you might become more like Christ.
