God's Word

Let Scripture Speak

One of the highlights of Urbana conventions has always been Bible Study. Urbana 06 was no different.

We dug deeply into the book of Ephesians—and discovered a profoundly missional message.

At Urbana 06, we went through the whole book of Ephesians, alternating between expository teaching, by Ajith Fernando, and manuscript study in groups.
