Ephesians is one of the most unique letters in the New Testament. Most of the epistles are written to a specific church to address a particular issue. Ephesians, however, was written with the express purpose of being passed around from church to church. Within the pages of Ephesians you will discover over the course of this seven-week study the power that is available to a unified church, the victory we already have over opposing forces, practical instructions for a Christian home, and Paul's grand vision for the church. Written by Paul toward the end of his life, Paul's heart for the church will strengthen your walk and sharpen your faith. A faithful reading of God's Word leads to a faithful response from God's people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
