Tonight we spent some more time in Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian church (Ephesians 1:15-23) considering wisdom. I used an illustration tonight about how a coach I had in college who exposed to me all that I had been doing wrongly my whole life in hitting, and how to hit correctly. Ask your students if they can remember enough to walk back through the illustration and how it relates to Paul’s desire for believers in his Ephesian prayer. I only gave one question for them to wrestle with in their small groups: What would it look like for me to “lay out through” the three spiritual realities Paul desires for me to know in the prayer? (The 3 realities are: [1] what is the hope to which he has called you, [2] what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and [3] what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward those who believe)
FYI: We are very close to finalizing information about a local camp we are going to have this summer. We are going to partner with My Life Matters and hold the camp out at the schoolhouse in Virgilina that they are currently renovating. We will spend the mornings working out there, doing whatever tasks they need us to do. Then we will have some fun stuff planned for the afternoons and worship out at the lake each night. Look for that information sometime this week!
