1 Galatians and Ephesians Lesson 1 Workbook Paul's Authority and Concern Acts 13:13-15; Acts 14: What are some significant events in those verses? 2. Why do you think some Jews refused to believe in their message? Acts 14: What did Paul do that got people thinking Paul was Hermes and Barnabas was Zeus?

2 2. How did Paul and Barnabas respond? Acts 14: What kind of impression do you think this had on Paul? 2. How would he have remembered the Galatians to whom he is now writing? 3. What impressions do you get about these people from what we ve read? Galatians 1: What is going on in the churches in Galatia that causes Paul to write? 2. How do you think this would ve made Paul feel, as the one who introduced these people to Jesus and His gospel? 3. What does Paul say should happen to people who are preaching a false gospel? 4. As this letter begins, where do you think Paul s emotions are? 5. What do you think verse 10 means?

3 Galatians 1: What seems to be going on in these verses? 2. Why do you think Paul needs to do this? 3. Do you think Paul is in any way bragging? Homework Memorize Galatians 1:3-5 This week, read the entire book of Galatians If the Apostle Paul was writing a letter to you, what would he say. Would he be all praises, or would he be astonished at some things you do. Write a short letter to God about spiritual life right now. Write down some of the things you know you need to improve, as well as those areas in your life already given over to God. Then put it into a stamped envelope addressed to yourself, and mail it.

4 Galatians and Ephesians Lesson 2 Workbook One True Gospel Galatians 3: What does Paul say about the law and those who are under the law? 2. What does faith do that the law cannot? Galatians 6: How does Paul end this letter? What is his tone? 2. What are some things Paul says that seem to appeal to urgency? 3. What does Paul mean when he says, even to the Israel of God in verse 16? 4. How do you think the Galatians would ve received this letter? THE GOSPEL 1. Simply put, what is the Gospel to you?

5 2. If someone asked you to define the Gospel, what would you say? 3. What do you see today as an example of Gospel Plus? 4. In what ways do you feel as though people add to the Gospel? 5. What s the difference between being a slave to the law of the Old Testament and making sure you live a holy life? Homework Memorize Galatians 3:24-25 Review your answers above for THE GOSPEL, especially questions 2 and 4. Make mental notes on how you would answer questions like that for real, or better yet, jot your thoughts down. For additional insight, read the following scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:1-8

6 Galatians and Ephesians Lesson 3 Workbook Faith and the Fruit of the Spirit Habakkuk 2:4 Romans 1:17 Galatians 3:11 Hebrews 10:38 1. What message do all four of these verses have in common? 2. What do you think that means? 3. How much do you think faith affects your life? In what ways? 4. What is a definition of faith you've heard before? James 2: How are faith and actions related, in your opinion? 2. How does this mesh with our understanding of Gospel Plus from Galatians? Galatians 5: When you think of the Spirit, what comes to mind?

7 2. In what ways is the sinful nature in conflict with the Spirit? Galatians 5: What do you think it means for the Spirit to bear fruit? 2. Why do you think it s called the Fruit (singular) and not Fruits? 3. How does the Fruit of the Spirit stand in contrast to the acts of immorality mentioned in verses 19-21? MAKING IT REAL: 1. What Fruit of the Spirit (characteristics) do you feel that you understand? 2. Which characteristics do you struggle with the most? 3. Instead of multiple pieces of fruit, should it be looked at only as one piece either you have it or you don t? Why or why not? 4. How do you think the Fruit of the Spirit is developed?

8 Homework Memorize Galatians 5:22-25 Read and meditate on one of the following Scriptures during the next nine days: Day 1 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Day 2 Hebrews 12:2 Day 3 Romans 15:13 Day 4 Ephesians 4:2 Day 5 2 Corinthians 6:6-7 Day 6 Ephesians 5:9 Day 7 Ephesians 3:16-17 Day 8 Ephesians 4:2 Day 9 2 Peter 1:5-7

What are the keys to life-long friendships? 3. Do you have a stake in the spiritual wellbeing of your friends? 4. Are you willing to lovingly confront a friend if they are messing up? Do you encourage them when they do well? Acts 18: Why do you think Paul chose not to stay longer? 2. Do you think Paul left a positive or negative image of himself?

10 Acts 19:1-7 & 19: What do you think is more amazing: preaching for 3 months straight (verse 8), lecturing for 2 years (verse 10), or the miraculous healings (verses 11-12)? Why? 2. Verse 10 says that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord. Based on our previous conversation about the city, how could this be?? 3. This is the longest Paul stayed anywhere (almost three years). What do you think made him stay so long? Acts 19: What do you make of these events? 2. How do you think an evil spirit Knew Paul (verse 15)? 3. There was great public repentance (verses 18-19). How did this help the word spread (verse 20)?

Why do you think the disciples didn t let Paul participate in the defense of the faith (verse 30)?

11 3. What do you think verse 32 means? 4. Even their city official defends Paul and company (verse 37). What does that say about the reputation of the missionaries? Acts 20:17 21:1 1.

12 Paul's Relationship with Ephesians 1. How much energy do you think Paul put into the Ephesians from what we know in Acts? 2. In a verse in Acts, Paul says that he wept for them as he served them. Has your love for other believers ever been that strong? 3. Can you think of other biblical relationships that were this strong? Our Relationship with Others 1. How much energy do you put into your relationships with other people, especially other Christians? 2. What would a modern-day Paul/Ephesians relationship look like? 3. Do you think relationships similar to that of Paul and the Ephesians exist in the Church today? If not, what is the Church's reputation related to relationships? 4. How do you think the way we treat one another causes other people to view us? How much energy do you put into your relationships with other people, especially other Christians? 5. What can we learn from the relationship between Paul and the Ephesians?

Ephesians 2:10 states that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works. Imitation is not simply knowledge but action as well, glorify God by doing the good works He has prepared for you.
