Better Than Broadway (Ephesians 1:6)

I love a good musical and have always (secretly) wanted life to somehow break into song and dance spontaneously.

Yet, I’ve found there is truly something better than a Broadway musical – a Christian’s life giving praise and glory to Jesus Christ throughout everything they say, think, and do.

In this expositional study, we dive into Ephesians 1:6 where Paul commissions the church to live unto the praise of God’s glory!
