QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS
Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org
- Why is prayer the first thing that Paul urges the church to do?
- What does Paul mean when he says pray “for all people”? What does he not mean?
- What difference does the doctrine of the image of God make when it comes to our view of humanity and the diversity that exists within it?
- Why does Paul emphasize “kings and all who are in high positions”? In other words, why might the Ephesians have neglected to pray for this class of men?
- What does Paul mean when he says that God “desires all people to be saved”? What does he not mean? (Consider the doctrine of election/predestination)
- How does the teaching that there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, complete Paul’s tightly knit argument here in this text?
