POWER UP: GALATIANS AND EPHESIANS

This year, we are taking a journey through the New Testament. We are currently in the books of Galatians and Ephesians. In these two book we are looking at how Paul guides us to experience the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. 

RECAP

Today we focused in on Ephesians 1-3 and we looked at how God’s power can shape our lives, identity, and purpose. 

BIBLE

Ephesians 1:18-23, Ephesians 2:1-10, 13-22, Ephesians 3:13-21

QUESTIONS: Read Ephesians 2

1. When you sit with the truth that God made you alive with Christ, what stirs in you—gratitude, resistance, hope, or something else? What might God be inviting you to receive today rather than strive for?
2. Paul says this new life flows from God’s rich mercy and great love. What does this mean for you? Where in your life do you most need to trust that God’s love? 
3. Ephesians 2 says you are God’s workmanship, created for good works He prepared in advance. What small act of obedience or love feels like a natural overflow of that life right now?
4. How can our relationship with God shape our purpose and how we see ourselves? How has it shaped you?
