1 Ephesians 5:21 6:24 November 19, Why do you think the word submission carries such a bad connotation in our world? Read Philippians 2:1-8. What are some of the godly outcomes of a submissive spirit that the world often overlooks? What did Christ s submission to His Father accomplish for us? 2. Last week we looked at Paul s encouraging words describing the lifestyle of an obedient Christian. Read Ephesians 5: What is Paul s view of submission and why? As Paul is describing the joyful and unified behavior of the Church in these verses, he also gives an admonition about submission. How are these things connected? Also read Ephesians 4: Paul is about to explain the importance of submission in personal daily relationships. Why do you think he feels the need to look closely at submission outside of the church walls? 4. Read Ephesians 5:22-24 as Paul begins to address specific individual s responsibilities of submission. List everything that you learn about a wife s responsibility to submit to her husband. What do you learn about the relationship between Jesus and the Church in these verses? How can a wife s submission to her husband actually be a divine opportunity when you consider how you answered the last question?

2 Ephesians 5:21 6:24 November 19, 2015 Page 2 5. Read these verses on God s design for submission and share your insights. 1 Corinthians 11:3 Colossians 3:18-20 Titus 2:4-5 1 Peter 3: Read Ephesians 5:25-30 to realize the huge responsibility that God gives husbands in their relationship with their wives. Sum up this responsibility in one word. What makes this a higher love than any worldly love? Record all of the results of Christ s love for the Church from these verses. How might these acts of Christ s love for the Church illustrate the love of a husband for his wife? 7. Read Ephesians 5:31-33 along with Genesis 2: Who instituted marriage and the importance of commitment and devotion in this sacred union? Write down the specific responsibility for the husband and the wife from verse 33 in Ephesians 5. A German theologian and pastor said these words when he performed his niece s wedding: Love will not sustain your marriage; but your marriage will sustain your love. After reading God s plan for women and men in marriage, what do you think he meant?

3 Ephesians 5:21 6:24 November 19, 2015 Page 3 8. Read Ephesians 6:1-4. Again we see submission from one individual being partnered with love from the other. Explain the child/parent responsibilities in these verses. 9. Read Ephesians 6:5-9. We can find the definition of godly submission in verse six. What is it? Does submission negate equality? Why or why not? 10. Read Ephesians 6: Let s look closely at the armor of God that His followers must wear. Why must we wear it? How would each piece of God s armor specifically give us strength against forces of evil? Belt of truth - Breastplate of righteousness - Shoes of the gospel of peace - Shield of faith - Helmet of salvation - Sword of the spirit - What is another important tool against the devil s schemes in verse 18? Look over all the supplies that God has given us to live victorious lives for Him. Which piece of armor do you need to polish up and reinforce in your life? 11. Read Paul s final words to the Ephesians in 6: What is always on Paul s heart? 12. Do you have a personal prayer request to share with your small group?

5 FREE AND RICH IN CHRIST Ephesians 5:21-6:24 November 19, Peter 2:13a,15 Be subject for the Lord s sake to every human institution..for this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (NIV) Mark 10:42-45 And Jesus called them to Him and said to them, You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Colossians 1:21-22 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by His death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before Him Titus 3:5,6 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Sprit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior. Genesis 2:23-24 Then the man said, This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. Colossians 3:21 Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart. (NAS) Galatians 3:26-28 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. Psalm 32:7 You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with shouts of deliverance.
