In So Many WordsBible

Someone has just sent you a very important letter about what it means to be a Christian and a member of the church. It’s pretty weighty stu!, and the writer tends to go o! on tangents. It’s up to you to sort it all out.This group will take Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians and read it with no chapter headings, no verse numbers, no paragraphs – nothing. We’ll read it through from top to bottom and tear into it to see what’s really there. It’s a fantastic way to study a book of the Bible!
