This week we begin our summer sermon series in Ephesians. While almost every other epistle, or letter, is written by the Apostle Paul to address certain issues arising in a church, Ephesians is the exception. This is a letter of encouragement and a charge to grow well in Christ. Eugene Peterson calls Ephesians “an inside look into what the church could be.” A letter that calls members of Christ’s body into maturity and unity.
MCC is also studying this book of the Bible alongside two other churches: Crossroads Bible Church of Grand Rapids, and Calvary Church of Holland. During this summer series we will not only be learning with these churches, but we get to hear from their leaders and teachers as well.
You are invited to read the book of Ephesians this week in its entirety, even as we open the series with Ephesians 1:1-2.
