Praying with Ephesians
Sometimes, when we aren’t sure how to pray, it is greatly beneficial to dive into a portion of Scripture to discover that one truth or need extends to many others.
The Infectious Gospel
“Of this gospel I was made a minister…†(Eph. 3.7)
-Daily “surveying the wondrous cross†and exulting in God’s plan for redemption (1.3-14)
-The truth and experience of the Gospel to transform:
…Unity in the church, God’s temple and dwelling (2.11-22; 4.1-6)
…Our understanding of “race†and our posture to ethnic groups (3.1-6)
…Roles and gifting in the body (4.11-16)
…New life and growth in holiness and wisdom (4.17- 5.21)
…The relationship between wives and husbands (5.22-33)
…Childrearing and children’s response to parents (6.1-4)
…Work ethic and submission to employees (6.5-9)
The Battle of God
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…†(Eph. 6.12)
-Biblically informed about our enemy (6.12)
-Practice of putting on the “armor of God†(6.11)
…Students of truth (6.14) and lovers of righteousness (6.14)
…Ready with the Gospel (6.15) and guarded in faith (6.16)
…Looking to the God who saves (6.17) and speaks (6.17)
…Armed with prayer (6.18-19) in the Spirit (5.18; 6.18)
