A Prayer for Spiritual Strength | Ephesians 3:14-21
We are currently in a teaching series called Gospel Transformation: The Letter to the Ephesians. The purpose of this series is to explore how the gospel is meant to transform lives. This week we are going to study Ephesians 3:14-21, looking at prayer. How do we pray? Is our prayer life a “laundry list” of needs that we expect God to fix? Do we run to God strictly in emergencies? Or is prayer so routine that we don’t even know what we are saying? In Ephesians 2:11-3:13, Paul reflects and celebrates the amazing work of God to make salvation possible to the whole world by making one new family—the Jews and Gentiles. Paul then launches into prayer for God’s people. Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians is theologically rich and full of beautiful truths. This is not designed as a template for prayer, but there are important theological truths to be learned that could help us grow in our prayer life. Listen in as we discuss how the gospel should impact our prayer life.
