Talking Through Ephesians

See the Big Picture

A 13-Session Guided Study

“Hint of Yellow and Black”

Introduction

Opening my backpack in High School, you’d probably find a bunch of embarrassing ‘90s-specific items: pogs, hacky sacks, maybe even a bottle of Cool Water cologne — for the ladies! But tucked away in my Trapper Keeper, you’d also have found a few yellow and black-striped CliffsNotes study guides. They summarized a book so I didn’t have to read the whole thing. Controversial, but definitely useful for an easily-distractible teenage boy.

Let’s face it, the Bible’s a big book! It can take years to read through the entirety of God’s revelation cover-to-cover. Even reading the New Testament is an almost-18-hour endeavor. Fortunately, a few Bible books have a distinct hint of yellow and black CliffsNotes striping, summarizing and explaining the central theme of God’s word. Let’s dig into one such letter: Paul’s writings to the Ephesian church. The Apostle’s ability to poetically and powerfully distill God’s saving work in Christ leaves us equipped to live transformed.

So follow along with this 13-session guided study, Talking Through Ephesians, and take in the big picture summary of the Bible’s message.
