Ephesians
Before even creating the world, God had a perfect plan for all things, and now in Jesus those plans have been made known and are being brought to completion! What, then, is our part in that story, and how can we faithfully carry it out? Paul’s letter to the Ephesians shows us precisely who we now are in Jesus and how to live out that reality.

Woe To You
In one of the greatest take-downs ever, Jesus confronts the Pharisees, resulting in what is known as The Seven Woes. Throughout history, Christians have loved Jesus for His raw and spot-on exposure of the hypocrisy and callousness that often comes with high levels of authority. Less popular, however, is turning the mirror on ourselves. The truth about us is that modern-day Christianity has regressed into an often judgmental, unfeeling dogma. This week, we put the spotlight on ourselves and wonder if Jesus might say to us, "Woe to you."
