A 30-day devotional on the art of letting go of daily chaos to find perfect peace in Christ.

The church at Ephesus was like many in the early days of Christianity: a melting pot of backgrounds, ethnicities, social classes, occupations, and ideas. Becoming a community was no easy feat.

They will discover the kind of connection they were truly made for... and how to engage in real fellowship with Christ and others more often and in more fulfilling ways. In the same manner that Paul encouraged the Ephesians to be united, today's church can be united and empowered in community as well.​
