For The Next Lesson
- Read Ephesians 3:14-15 and Revelation 5:1-14. Paul speaks of the family we have as believers.Try to describe what the family of God really is and all of its magnificence. Paul says he prays on his knees. Why not try that for yourself this week?
- Read Ephesians 3:16-19 and John 14:15-24. Most of us tend to think that only the Holy Spirit indwells the believer. From both of these passages, try to describe how not only the Holy Spirit lives within us but the Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within us, in some mysterious way.
- In the Ephesians passage Paul prays for the Ephesians to have strength. What does he want that strength to accomplish, according to this passage? How might having this strength to accomplish his desired result change your life and your view of God?
- Read Ephesians 3:20-21. Look at verse 20 and then try to give a testimony as to how this verse has come to fruition within your life at one time or another. How are you personally carrying out verse 21 in your life?
