 Our epistle lesson this morning is found in Ephesians chapter 1, verses 3 through 14. I'd ask that you please rise for the reading of God's word. Ephesians chapter 1, verses 3 through 14, in Jesus' name. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world.
