We Are The Church: A Study in Ephesians
“Blessings in Christ"
Ephesians 1:1-14 (CSB)
- Church - The redeemed and gathered people of God commissioned to multiply the Kingdom of God throughout the world.
- Key Truth: The local church is not a destination but a base of operation.
Paul’s purpose in writing:
1. Christ has reconciled all creation to Himself and God (Ch. 1-3)
2. Christ has united all people from all nations to Himself and to one another in His church (Ch. 4-6).
Main Question: What was God’s plan to reconcile people to Himself and how can we be a part of that plan?
2. God’s blessings (vs. 11-14)
Read Ephesians 1:1-14. When did you come to know Christ by faith? What were the circumstances? How has He changed your life since then? Who will you share this story with this week so that you might invite them to come to know Christ?
