This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of Ephesians for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: 1) Observing the text of Ephesians 2) Interpreting its original message to the Ephesian church in the first century 3) Applying the letter’s timeless truths to your life today.

Jesus wants us to bring our failure into the light. It is in the light that darkness flees. You are not alone in this struggle. LIVE Free!
