John MacArthur shared the following story.
Several years ago the Los Angeles Times reported the story of an elderly man and wife
who were found dead in their apartment. Autopsies revealed that both had died of severe malnutrition,
although investigators found a total of $40,000 stored in paper bags in a closet.
He goes on to say, "the book of Ephesians is written to Christians who might be prone to treat their spiritual resources much like that miserly couple...they do not take advantage of the great storehouse of spiritual nourishment...that is at their disposal."
David Powlison, in his book Seeing With New Eyes, states, "You will not go wrong if you plunge into Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Master it. Be mastered by it. Work Ephesians into your thinking, your living, your prayers, and your conversation. The Bible is vast and deep, and human life is diverse and perplexing...Ephesians aims to teach you how to live."
So, as we begin a new year we will take a dive into the book of Ephesians during our Sunday Worship Service and Sunday School. I will preach through this great book during the service and then in the Sunday School time we will discuss questions from the Bible passage of the day.
In these days, starting a new year, we need to learn how to live. Join us on this journey as we seek God and the wonderful work that He wants to do and will do!
