Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Ephesians 3:8

Join the creative community of Hillsong Church as we read and pray through the book of Ephesians. Paul wrote Ephesians as a letter of encouragement to the church in Ephesus and those in the surrounding region. Rather than addressing specific problems within the church, Ephesians stands alone as a message of unity for all believers: unity of Heaven and earth, unity of humanity, and unity of relationships.

Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians oozes with declarations of God’s love for his people. This love, epitomized in the gospel, takes center stage as both the theological foundation and driving force behind the way God’s people live their lives. In this reading plan, Todd Wagner, pastor of Watermark Community Church, walks through each chapter of Ephesians, helping readers grasp the life-changing power available to them in Paul’s letter.

Written by Paul in prison, Ephesians beautifully describes the vast reality of the gospel. Chosen before the foundation of the earth, God’s eternal plan of redemption takes spiritually dead men and women and raises them to life in Christ. Ephesians reminds us the gospel is all of God, all of grace, and all purposed “to show the immeasurable riches of His grace towards us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7).

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.
