Sermon Discussion Questions

  1. In Ephesians 1:15-19, Paul models for us how to pray. What is the first thing he asks that God would give to us? Why do we need God’s Spirit of wisdom and revelation? What does Paul pray that our hearts would know?
  2. In Paul’s prayer in Eph 1:19-20, how great is God’s power? Why is it important to know how big God’s power is in us?
  3. In Eph 1:19-21, if Jesus has all authority, how much authority does the devil have?
  4. Eph 1:22-23, if how does this part of the prayer inform us that Jesus gave us, his Church, His authority to carry out God’s purposes?
  5. In Ephesians 3:20-21, Paul says in his prayer that God is able to do far more than we could ask or think. But in the next part of the same sentence, how and through whom does he say God will do these amazing things?
  6. In Ephesians 6:10-20, who’s strength and who’s armor are we fighting with against evil and darkness? How many times does Paul tell the readers to “stand” against trouble? In verse 17, what is “the sword of the Spirit” called?
