UNSHACKLED: A study in the Book of Ephesians Ephesians 4

POST SPRING BREAK PLAN: -5 week study starts on Wednes, March 22nd or Fri, March 24th -National Speakers; Strong Exposure.

Small Group Question, 1st Break: -What stood out to you from week 5’s Scripture memory verse? Take a moment to share one or two takeaways God revealed to you as your read Ephesians 4 this past week.

Big Picture of Ephesians (REVIEW): Chapters 1-3: Offers hope to the Gentiles We were all once ‘dead’ and ‘children of wrath’ We can now be part of the inheritance through Christ

Reminder that Christianity is a Team Sport Turning the Corner: Ch.4 V. 1-16 Reminder that Christianity is a Team Sport We were uniquely gifted and called to use the gifts for the body (v. 16-17) There is strength in numbers “Bearing with one another in love” V.2 No longer children, tossed around and carried away by craftiness V.14

Turning the Corner….Again V.17-24 Paul is getting to the heart of true change- the kind that brings about a new life Reminder: Paul spent the first 3 chapters giving hope and encouragement to the Gentiles: “No longer walk as the Gentiles do in the futility of their minds”

Pattern For Destruction V. 18-19 Hardness Ignorance Darkness Recklessness

Pattern for new life V.20-24 Put off old self Be Renewed in your mind Must acknowledge corruptness Must fight the urge to return to- like a well worn pair of shoes Be Renewed in your mind This is the ‘secret sauce’ of true change This can only be accomplished through constant refinement through studying his Word and through the transformational work of the Spirit Put on new self V. 25-32 gives examples of what the ‘new self’ looks like This has to follow the renewing of your mind or else any change is mere appearances and will not sustain

A continual process Although our salvation is secure, we must constantly fight our flesh that wants to rob us of the true life He has for us Phillipians 2:12-13: …” work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 “ So I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified”

Small Group Questions: Are you in a season of true transformation, or do you feel like you’re going through the motions? Of the qualities of a “new self” listed in v 25-32, what are 1-2 that you are currently struggling with the most? What unique talents and gifts do you possess that can be used for the body of Christ?
