Exploring Ephesians
4. What’s our purpose?
[Ephesians 2:1-10]
Intro: Make something out of origami. Talk about what they enjoy creating and why. Here’s instructions for an origami frog.
Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Discussion questions:
v10 What did God create all people to do?
v1-3 What is life like for people before they know Jesus? Who do they obey?
v3-5 What should God do about with sinners? How does he actually feel about people?
v5-7 What is the minimum God could have done to save people from sin? What did he actually do for us in Christ Jesus?
v8-9 Why does it matter that all this is a gift from God to his people? Why does Paul tell the Ephesians this?
v10 Why does God do this and how does he feel about his people?
How does this make you feel about God? What should you be doing with the new life you’ve been offered?
“Thank God for all that he has given you.”
Extra time: Talk second chances and what people did with them. The Winter Soldier and Iron Man are good examples.
