Ephesians 4

Wow, there is a lot of stuff going on in this chapter. I could make a small comment here as I've done with the other posts and recap a point from the chapter, but I would rather simply hear what you have found striking about Paul's words...so...comment away.

Ephesians 3

Paul offers us some amazing encouragement here in Chapter 3 but he also shares with us an amazing responsibility. The church is to be the reflection of God's wisdom to the heavenly powers and authorities. This should at least make us ask ourselves..."Am I doing my part to make the church a reflection of what it's supposed to be?" Though these are powerful themes there are still other things to be discovered in this passage. What are the things God is speaking to you as you read through this chapter?

Prayer requests

I want us to be able to share the things that are going on in our lives...the good the bad and the ugly. So it is here that you can share your requests for prayer. Scripture calls us to intercede for one another and as we do that we become closer and we become stronger. So take just a minute and let us know what we can support you in as we join in prayer.

Ephesians 2

When you really think about it...it's amazing that the gift we have received from God is nothing we can earn. The gift was simply given to us out of God's love for his creation. Paul shares this information with the Ephesians in chapter 2 but he also lets them in on something else that would have been big news for them...The Jews were no longer the only "chosen people". God has made a way for all people to be reconciled to him. How amazing is the grace of God! Now that you have had a chance to read Chapter 2, let us know what things are stirring in your heart. What things about this passage hit home and what things are hard to accept?
