Join our St. John the Baptist Bible Study, as we begin our journey through St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians with the first chapter. In this session, we reflect on Paul’s message of God’s eternal plan for our salvation, the blessings we receive in Christ, and how we are called to live as a people chosen, redeemed, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
If any of these topics interest you, be sure to stream this week's session!
