Recap: Look back for evidence of God’s word reshaping your heart and life. Does anyone have a testimony to share with the group of how you applied last week’s “Respond” section? Engage: Look into the Word of God in light of Sunday’s preached sermon. Read Ephesians 2:1-10 together as a group and discuss your initial observations. Reflect: Look deeper at the preached and written Word. The sermon identifies three forces that enslaved us before Christ: the world, Satan, and our own sinful desires — which of these three do you think is most underestimated by Christians today, and why? The preacher uses the resurrection of Lazarus as a picture of God calling each believer by name out of spiritual death — how does understanding salvation as something God initiated and accomplished, rather than something you chose on your own, affect your sense of security and gratitude in your faith? Phud listed four characteristics of God that motivated him to save us. What were they and how does traits affect your heart towards God? How do verses 8–9 protect us from both pride and despair? Are there areas where you are still living according to the “course of this world” rather than according to Christ? Respond: Choose one or two of these applications from Sunday’s message to put into practice this week. Remember your rescue:Regularly reflect on where Christ found you and thank Him that your salvation is entirely by grace. Reject spiritual pride:Stop measuring your standing with God by your performance, and rest in Christ’s finished work. Live differently:Identify one sinful pattern that reflects the “course of this world” and take a specific step this week to put it off. Do the good works God prepared:Choose one concrete act of service, generosity, encouragement, or obedience that you will intentionally do this week. Tell someone about grace:Share with one person this week how God saved you—not because of your works, but because of His grace through faith.
