We are going to spend this summer walking line by line through a grand letter written by the apostle Paul to the church in Ephesus. Is a letter written nearly 2000 years ago to a church on the other side of the world relevant to us today? Indeed it is. We begin today by looking at the first couple verses and previewing what we're going to see in the weeks ahead. May this message and the application of it be used by God to get us ready to be in awe as we begin walking through this letter filled with glorious news about Jesus, salvation, identity, the church, and the life we now live in Christ.
