SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS!
18-24 Jan.
WELCOME:
Discuss some of the traditions that you and/or your family still practice?
WORSHIP:
Light a candle, sing a song of praise to God and then silently reflect and complete the following statement:
“I feel God’s will is…………” Share as the Spirit leads you and conclude with a time of prayer.
WORD: Eph 1: 1-23
(You may want to research some background to Ephesians.)
1. List the blessings that are ours through the Father (v3-6), Jesus Christ (v7-12) and the Holy Spirit (v13-14)? Which of these is most significant for you? Explain.
2. How does knowing you are ‘chosen’ and ‘adopted’ affect your view of yourself and God?
3. a) Which of the things that Paul prayed could you use most in your life right now?
b) What are you doing in your life “that you might know Him better”?
4. How is the church central to God’s plans for the universe (v22-23)? What role does the church play in your life?
WITNESS:
Pray v17-19 as a group or as prayer partners each week (for 6 weeks). Also spend time this week, reflecting on what is keeping you from sharing some of God’s blessings with others. Commit by doing whatever necessary to overcome these obstacles.
