Acts 20 is all about saying goodbye. How do we face it and do it in Christ? This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Ephesians casts God’s vision for his people, and therefore the world. God’s vision is that we’d be one with him and one with each other, living a life worthy of the calling we received. This is the first of several plans through Ephesians, and it starts surprisingly with Ephesians 5:21-33. Here we get some practical advice for husbands and wives, which is about far more than husbands and wives. This short, little passage gives us a window into what Ephesians is about!
