Living Resurrection: Ephesians
“The resurrection of Jesus establishes the conditions in which we live and mature in the Christian life… Jesus alive and present. A lively sense of Jesus’ resurrection, which took place without any help or comment from us, keeps us from attempting to take charge of our own development and growth… When we practice resurrection, we keep company with Jesus, alive and present, who knows where we are going better than we do, which is always “from glory unto glory.”
”
Being a Christian isn’t just assenting to a set of ideas- it’s living a new way of life. This summer at FPC, we’ll be exploring the book of Ephesians. Ephesians is a wise, beautiful piece of writing that depicts for us what it means to live all of our lives- our relationships, our work life, our families- “in Christ”: in the new kind of life that the living Jesus offers the world.
So, whether you’re just beginning to explore what it might mean to be a Christian, or are a seasoned follower of Jesus, join us at FPC this summer!
