Pray in This Way Graphic Square

Prepare your heart for the Sermon by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together hearing God's Word.

You will find suggestions for thinking more critically through the passage, meditating more intently on the text, and prayerfully seeking wisdom to deepen your understanding of the passage to be preached this Sunday.

Carefully Think

  • Read Eph 3:14-21.
  • What reason does Paul give for bowing in prayer? (see 3:1 and 3:14)
  • What does Paul request in v.16?
  • Who does Paul ask would dwell in the hearts of the Ephesians? (vv16 and 17)
  • Using four different adjectives, what does Paul describe in v.18?

Prayerfully Meditate

  • How does every family derive its name from the Lord? (3:15)
  • Why would Paul use language of being “rooted and grounded” in love? (3:17)
  • How could the church know a love that Paul admits is beyond knowledge? (see v19 and vv16-17).
  • How might God’s exceeding expectation have landed on the Ephesian church as they read this letter from Paul? (v20)
