This weekend, we begin our journey through the book of Ephesians. But before we get into this letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, we’ll take a look at the time Paul spent in Ephesus. Understanding the city and Paul’s relationship with the people there will offer a rich texture and backdrop for our study of the letter itself in the weeks to come.
Paul’s time with the people of Ephesus is recounted in Acts 19 and 20. Specifically, this Sunday we’ll look at Acts 19:8-41 and 20:17-38. Take some time to read these passages this week, and bring your observations and questions from the text with you to our gathering on Sunday.
