Ephesians, Part 4: Application

1 Comments

Yesterday, Jeff Purswell preached from Ephesians 1:15-23, considering Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians.

You can listen online or download the message here.

And pastor Brian Chesemore has prepared these questions to help us to continue applying the message as a group or as individuals:

1.  Jeff shared that much of what he has learned about prayer came from listening to others pray or reading their prayers.  Who are the men or women who have shaped your practice of prayer? 

2.  How would you describe your current relationship with God in prayer?  What content tends to fill your prayers?

3.  Paul’s example of prayer teaches that we are not simply passive observers of God’s unfolding plans.  Instead prayer is the means by which God works out many of his sovereign plans.  What are God’s purposes that we should regularly pray to see unfold?

4.  What does Paul’s prayer reveal about your need for the Spirit’s work? 

5.  How can you take Paul’s prayer and make it your own this week for your family, friends and our church?

 






A great message.
I am amazed at this former CHS ANGORA.
Yes…I graduated with Jeff from Clarkston High in 1979.
It’s wonderful to see how God has used him!
