So for the summer I wanted to go through a book of the Bible and examine its effect on how Christians serve through the local church. Since I am not a real scholar I figured let's go through a commentary of Ephesians by one of my favorite writers - James Montgomery Boice.

If you don't know JMB, you should. He breaks down small portions of text and examines them very throughly - his commentary on Romans fills four volumes.

Here is his book - click to buy from Monergism.

Here is a good map for its location

Here are some photos from my trip there,
