This Sunday, Pastor Tim Richards continues the series entitled "In Him--Paul's Letter to the Ephesians," looking this week at Ephesians 4:17-24.
SERMON QUESTIONS
1. Have you ever caught yourself purposefully ignoring something important? If so, what was it? Why did you ignore it? Were there consequences to not paying attention?
2. Read Ephesians 4:17-19. How does Paul describe the condition of people who are alienated from God? Can you think of examples from your own observations of the kinds of things Paul describes?
3. Read Romans 1:18-23 and compare to Ephesians 4:17-19. What common themes are there? Do Paul’s comments in Romans add any deeper understanding to his words in Ephesians?
4. Read Ephesians 4:20-24. What does it look like in your own life to put off the old self and put on the new? What do you find helpful in doing that?
This Sunday, Pastor Tim Richards continues his series "In Him--Paul's Letter to the Ephesians," looking this week at Ephesians 4:1-16.
SERMON QUESTIONS:
1. Read Ephesians 4:1-16. If you had to sum up Paul’s emphasis in one word, what would it be and why?
2. Why does Paul say God has given the church spiritual leaders?
3. Paul finishes this section using a body metaphor (Ephesians 4:15-16). Why is that an apt way to describe a healthy church?
4. Thinking about your own involvement in the life of DCC, how are you joined & working with other members of this body to build it up in love?
Pastor Tim Richards continues his series "In Him--Paul's Letter to the Ephesians," looking this week at Ephesians 3:1-21.
SERMON QUESTIONS:
1. The first words of Ephesians 3 are “For this reason…” What reason is that (hint: look at Ephesians 2:11-22)
2. Note that Paul departs from his train of thought in verse one and doesn’t pick it up again until verse 14. What gets him sidetracked? Why do you think he took this narrative detour?
3. Carefully read Paul’s prayer in verses 14 through 19. What stands out to you in this prayer? What is Paul’s core desire for God to do in his friends?
4. In what personal ways has God deepened your understanding of his love?
Pastor Tim Richards continues the series entitled "In Him--Paul's Letter to the Ephesians," looking this week at Ephesians 2:1-22.
SERMON QUESTIONS :
1. Have you ever been stranded? How did it happen? Were you able to fix the problem yourself or did someone else have to help you?
2. In Ephesians 2:1-3, Paul says we all were at one time stranded, stuck in a course of life ruled by “the prince of the power of the air”. What does Paul mean by that title? What does he say were the guiding motives of our heart at that time?
3. Read Ephesians 2:4-6. In contrast to our guiding motives, what does Paul say was God’s guiding motive?
4. Read Ephesians 4:10. What are some of the “good works” you think God has uniquely prepared for you to walk in? How is that going?
Pastor Tim Richards continues a series entitled "In Him--Paul's Letter to the Ephesians."
SERMON QUESTIONS:
1. Have you ever undertaken a restoration project? What was it? How long did it take? How did it turn out? How did you feel when the project was done?
2. Read Ephesians 1:11-13. Note Paul refers to “we” and then “you also”. Is there any significance to that? Is he addressing more than one group of people? If so, who?
3. In Ephesians 1:6, 12 & 14, Paul talks about things that lead “to the praise of his glory”. What are those things and how does it bring glory to God?
4. Paul talks a lot about our future inheritance in Christ – the time we will be perfect in his presence. For now, we are still in the restoration process. Thinking back on your life, what things has God transformed & restored in your journey with him so far?
This Sunday, Pastor Tim Richards will be starting a 12-week series entitled "In Him--Paul's Letter to the Ephesians."
SERMON QUESTIONS
1. When Paul wrote to the believers at Ephesus, he was writing to people he had spent significant time with previously. Read Acts 19:1-20:1. What memories do you imagine were running through Paul’s mind as he wrote to his friends?
2. One of the themes Paul returns to again and again in Ephesians is the idea that we are “in Christ”. He says this in a number of different ways. Try scanning through the book of Ephesians and see how many ways and how many times Paul mentions this idea of being “in Him”. If you are doing this as a group, assign a different section to each member, then compare and compile what you find. Why do you think this concept was so important to Paul?
3. In Ephesians 1:5, Paul talks about God having predestined us for adoption. That concept of predestination has caused lots of debates over the years about how God’s will and human wills interact. However, Paul’s point in talking about this was not to start a debate – he wanted to share a word of encouragement. Regardless of how human will plays into the equation, what is encouraging about knowing that God has predestined you for adoption?
4. Looking at Ephesians 1:1-10, what evidence do you find that points to God’s great love for you?
