Ephesians 2:11-22 (Lee Tankersley)

A New Society, Temple, and Family in Christ ______________________________________ Small Group Questions 1. Paul began by reminding the Ephesians of where they were before Christ so that he might highlight the greatness of Christ's work in their lives to save them, reconcile them to God, and reconcile them to one another. Maybe it'd be good for some of us in the group to share about our lives before Christ and just how hopeless we were apart from him in order to highlight his work in our lives as well. 2. Are there any ways that you've seen individuals who had (or should have) great hostility with each other in the world become reconciled to God and one another through the work of Christ? 3. How have you seen the reality of God's children being members of the same kingdom, family, and temple lived out in your life? In other words, how might you testify to God's power in binding us to other believers? 4. Our society is so divided on a number of issues. How might we use these issues as a springboard to share the gospel with others in light of this text?
