Tim begins a new series on the book of Ephesians. Of all of the New Testament letters, and the cities they were written to, the ekklesia is probably best demonstrated here in Ephesus. It is also a letter where we get one of the best and fullest descriptions of the full gospel, that came to a city that was deeply steeped in witchcraft and occultic practices. As we begin this letter, we see the foundational authority and architecture of a church that can be entrusted with the full power of God such that it shifts the spiritual climate for an entire region, and becomes a missional hub from which the whole of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
