Everything Great About the Good News
Series Opening Up Ephesians
We continue through Paul's letter to the Ephesian churches with another passage that flows out of his praise & prayer in chapter 1. We'll hear everything great about the good news: how it changes our relationship with God and each other, as well as calls us to access our newfound status as the people of God.
