The Letter to the Ephesians

Knowing Christ. Becoming His Church.

Welcome

Ephesians is one of Paul’s final letters written to a group of Christians. Written during his imprisonment in Rome, he encourages believers in the Roman Provence of Asia to remember who they are in Christ and to live together as His chosen people.

Before You Begin

Before reading Paul’s letter, take a few minutes to understand the world into which it was written. The better we understand the setting, the more clearly we’ll hear its message.
