Nova Class -- The Book of Ephesians
Has it ever dawned on you that nothing has ever dawned on God? He knew before the world began that His people would face hardship, so He gave us His Word. The Book of Ephesians is a survival manual—it equips believers to thrive in a world that hates the message of Jesus Christ. Paul the Apostle writes to encourage believers to live well—we've been lifted from the graveyard of sin and called to shout the gospel into the darkened world.
This study of Ephesians walks through the powerful words of Paul, digs into the text of Ephesians, and challenges believers to live out the gospel. If the people of your city, of your school, of your family are going to hear the gospel, it's going to be from your mouth. Encounter Ephesians, and get swept up into the story of Jesus.
Women's Mission Fellowship
- Women's Mission Fellowship is group of women within Nova Community Church who support our local and non-local missionaries and shelters that provide refuge for those in need. WMF provides donations which include food, supplies, monetary support and most importantly, prayer support.
- WMF meets the first Thursday of each month at Nova @10:00am.
