Ephesians 6:10-24 - THE LAST ONE!!! [23]

If you are new to this blog, I encourage you to start with Intro [1] and then continue in order.

DAY 1
Read through chapter 6 and mark words that you previously marked. Read 6:10-24 and look for words that are repeated in this last section and mark some of them.

Praise God for something you read about.

DAY 2
1) What is being contrasted in v12?
2) If you did not already write them out, what are we wrestling against?

3) Compare v11 with v13 (look for similarities and differences).

4) Who are you tempted to think of as your enemies (v12)?  Talk to God about this.

5) What do you think it means to stand firm (v13)?

DAY 3
List the different parts of the armor of God and other information given about the pieces of armor.

Thank God for something or somethings in this list.

DAY 4
1) What does this passage say about prayer?
2) When or how should we pray?
3) What should we pray about?

Pray according to something Paul said.

4) What is Paul's prayer request? - notice the repetition when he is talking about prayer

5) Compare Paul's ending in 23-24 with his greeting in 1:1-2.

6) Does anything about vv21-22 surprise you?


EPHESIANS IN REVIEW
1) Think about this whole study in the book of Ephesians. What were some of the major things you learned about God or of which you increased your understanding? You may want to read or skim through the book to help you remember.  Thank and praise God for these things and that he makes himself known to us!

2) Think about things that you were convicted by. I'm sure as you did this study, you were challenged about how you think, or your attitude towards people or God. Maybe you saw that you needed to change how you talk or how you act towards certain people. Thank God for showing you this and ask him for his help. You also may want to talk to a good friend about it. Tell them what you think you should change and ask them to pray with you and for you for God's help in this.

Ephesians in Review - Unity and Honesty [25]

If you are new to this blog, I encourage you to start with  Intro [1]  and then continue in order. This is in answer to Ephesians in Review at the end of   Ephesians 6:10-24 THE LAST ONE!!! [23] . This study of Ephesians has been so rich for me.  It was one of my favorite books of the Bible before I started, but I love it even more and understand it even better now. It has also amazed me how many opportunities God has given me to share from my time studying it. It seems like Ephesians relates to EVERYTHING! 1) When I started studying Ephesians this time, I was struck by the theme of unity. I found that it was all over the place, even when the word itself was not used (for more on unity, see my post,  Unity Through and Through - Thoughts on Ephesians 4:1-16 [16] ). I was happy to receive confirmation of that when I read one of my pastor's sermons, and he said that unity was the main theme of Ephesians: "to unite all things in [Christ], things in heaven an...

Ephesians 1:15-23 [7]

If you are new to this blog, please start with 1 (Intro) and then continue in order. Before each day's work, pray and ask God to open your eyes to his truth through his Holy Spirit. Ask for his leading and guidance. Also, as you read, stop to praise God for things, thank God for things, confess sin, or ask for help to be like the example you see in the scriptures. Just generally talk to God about what you are reading about! DAY 1 AND 2 Pray Read chapters 1 and 2 and look for key words that are repeated. Pick 2 and then mark them distinctly on your manuscript in chapters 1 and 2. Praise God for something about him in the passage. DAY 3 Mark grace and peace distinctly in chapters 1 and 2 if you didn't already. I circled grace in orange and put blue waves under peace (as in peace like a river😀 ), but you can mark them however you'd like. If grace and peace are what you marked, feel free to look for other repeated words to mark. DAY 4 Paul prays for the Ephes...
