1 STILL KICKING THE TIRES OF EPHESIANS 5/03/2002 Last week we began our study of Ephesians, by kicking the tires of the Rolls Royce of the Epistles. First we looked at some of the general features of the book and then we examined the prologue of the book. This week we will briefly review last week s study, outline the entire book and discuss our first impressions of the book. REVIEW: What was it that made Ephesians so special? Who did we identify as the author of the book and what was his role? Where were the recipients of the book located? How does the author describe the recipients and how is this description significant? OUTLINE: (As prepared by the ROCK group) Chapter 1 I. Paul s Greeting (v. 1-2) II. Paul s Praises (v. 3-14) A. Praise to the Father (v. 3-6) B. Praise to Christ (v. 7-12) C. Praise to the Spirit (v ) III. Paul s Prayer (v.15-23)

Paul s Request & Message (v.19-22) A. Tychicus (v.21-22)
4 IV. Epilogue (v.23-24) OVERVIEW: Describe the m ood (tone, feeling) of the letter. (i.e. Is it formal, intimate, angry, jubilant etc? Is he writing a story, a personal message, a sermon etc?) Does the mood of the letter change anywhere, if so where? Keeping in mind that repetition is a clue to the ideas that a writer considers important, what words or ideas seem to occur over and over again in this letter? What do you think was Paul s main reason for writing this letter? What does the content of Ephesians suggest he was trying to accomplish? State in one or two sentences the main message of Paul s letter to the Ephesians. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION: As we have kicked the tires of Ephesians (examining the background, prologue, outline and overview of the book), we have noted Paul s personal concern for the Ephesian believers and his instruction of them. He instructs the Ephesians in a variety of areas. What areas do you feel yourself lacking, but would like to grow in? Take time to share how you are doing in the Word and in prayer.
