Discover the Power of Ephesians 1:1-2

In this powerful passage, the apostle Paul writes to the believers in Ephesus, conveying a message of grace, peace, and purpose. By exploring Ephesians 1:1-2, we can uncover profound insights into our faith and its practical implications in our lives.

Embracing Grace and Peace

Ephesians 1:1-2 begins with Paul identifying himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus "by the will of God." This statement highlights the divine calling and purpose that Paul had in spreading the Good News. As we delve into these verses, we are reminded of the grace and peace that awaits us when we align our lives with God's will.

Unity in Christ

Paul addresses the recipients of his letter as "the saints who are in Ephesus." This emphasizes the importance of community and fellowship in the Christian faith. At St Mark’s United Methodist Church, we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where all can experience the unity found in Christ.
