Ephesians 1:15-23
Abundance of Life
What is the Church
1. Paul gives thanks for the Ephesians’ faith and love, which must be observable through actions! How does this challenge you to demonstrate faith and love to other?
保羅為以弗所信徒的信心和愛心感謝神，這種信心和愛心必須能透過行動彰顯出來！這如何挑戰您在生活中向他人彰顯信心和愛心？
2. Paul prays for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. What does this mean, and how can we seek it in our daily walk with God?
保羅禱告求神賜下智慧和啟示的靈。這是什麼意思？我們如何在日常與神同行的過程中尋求這樣的智慧和啟示？
3. Paul asks that the eyes of their hearts be enlightened. Why is spiritual understanding so important, and how does it affect the way we live?
保羅祈求他們心中的眼睛被照明。為什麼屬靈的理解如此重要？它如何影響我們的生活方式？
4. What is “the hope to which He has called you”? How does understanding our hope in Christ impact our faith and actions?
什麼是「祂呼召你們所存的指望」？理解我們在基督裡的盼望如何影響我們的信心和行為？
5. Paul speaks of God’s “incomparably great power” for believers. What does this power look like in our lives, and how have you experienced it personally?
保羅講到神為信徒預備的「極大的權力」。這能力在我們的生活中是什麼樣子的？您個人如何經歷過這權力？
6. What does it mean that Christ is the head of the Church? How should this truth shape the way we view our role in the Church?
基督是教會的頭，這意味著什麼？這真理應如何塑造我們對自己在教會中角色的理解？
If time permits: Paul describes the Church as Christ’s body, “the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.” How can we, as the Church, reflect Christ’s fullness in our communities?
若時間允許：
保羅描述教會是基督的身體，是「充滿萬有者所充滿的」。作為教會，我們如何在我們的社區中彰顯基督的豐盛？
