Quick Review
1. Ask yourself: Was there a particular point or passage of Scripture that challenged, confused, or caught your attention?
What stood out to you regarding the nature of God from the first point in the message?
What aspect of the nature of God is hardest for you to comprehend? Why?
When you think about being “chosen” by God, how does that encourage you or confuse you?
In Ephesians 1:3 we are reminded that believers are blessed. This isn’t based on what we’ve done, but on what God has done for us. Do you find yourself trying to earn God’s blessings? Why is this such an important truth for us?
How does the parable in Matthew 22 (The King inviting wedding quests to the banquet) help us better understand the concept of God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility regarding our response to His invitation?
Much of the first 3 chapters in Ephesians deals with our identity in Christ. Why is it so important for us to embrace our identity in Christ?
