Ephesians 2:1-7
Mike Moses
1. Share your personal testimony of when and how you came to faith in Christ.
2. Read Eph. 2:1-3How can you tell when the world is tempting you to sin?
How can you tell when the devil is tempting you to sin?
How can you tell when your flesh is tempting you to sin?
3. Read Eph. 2:4-5a
Does your posture toward unbelievers reflect the “rich mercy” and “great love” that God showed you when you were lost?
(Consider Jude 21-23)
4. Read Eph. 2:5b-7
What practical value is there in knowing that you have been (positionally) raised and seated in heavenly places in Christ?
(Consider Colossians 3:1-5)
5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine (time permitting)
How do each of these Scriptures inform our understanding of Total Depravity?
Psalm 51:5; Isaiah 1:5-6; Romans 3:9-20, 23; 8:7-8
Pray for one another: That we would glorify God for His great salvation.
New City Catechism, #42:
Q: How is the Word of God to be read and heard?
A: With diligence, preparation, and prayer; so that we may accept it with faith, store it in our hearts, and practice it in our lives.
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16–17)
