Do you live as may be expected of a Christian? This may be a hard question for you. Either, because you are aware that in some areas you don’t. Or, because you find it hard to know what it would look like in your daily life to live as a Christian. Upcoming Sunday we start a new sermon series: `Encouraged with the Ephesians’. Paul wrote a letter, fully aware that for the Ephesians it was hard to live as Christians and that they also needed a clearer understanding of what the Christian life looks like. The purpose of the letter is both to empower and to equip the Ephesians, so that they may live the life and the identity that they have received. Upcoming Sunday we read Ephesians 1:1-14 and we will discover why Paul chose to open his letter with these words of praise.
