HPUMC: Ephesians Bible Reading Plan

Highland Park United Methodist Church

Who influences you? Go on, be honest. Who is on your Mount Rushmore of influencers? They don't have to be famous folks—one could be a parent, friend, or teacher. Pushing it further: Does anyone have undue influence over you? And another angle: How did your influencers earn your ears? Who we allow to influence our lives has a big impact on how we live our lives. In this series, we want to introduce you to The Influencer. The book of Ephesians is a masterclass in how to see God, ourselves, one another, and the world as a whole.
