In the opening line of the New Testament book of Ephesians we read that it was written “to the saints who are in Ephesus". There are other manuscripts that say it was written to “the Laodicians” and some that just say “the saints”. Scholars surmise that the Apostle Paul intended the letter to be “circular”, meaning it shouldn’t just end up in the hands of the Ephesian church but others as well.

In a way, the book had a “blank space” in which one could write the name of any 1st century church. It’s no less true that this book was written to the church of 2024.

Join us for our first sermon series of the year (from the book of Ephesians) where we’ll learn what it means to be “the saints” in the city of Austin and beyond.
