Ephesians 6
1. Why do you think Paul says, “Fathers do not exasperate or anger your children”? How do parents anger their children in ways that are not good for them?
2. "In 6:12, Paul seems to make a distinction between 'principalities, authorities, and rulers'. Is this distinction important? Is it a rhetorical device used to encompass all people and organizations in authority? Is there another option? How does this change your understanding of the passage, if at all?"
3. Knowing some of the Bible’s other names for the devil can help us figure out his schemes. Have you encountered any of the ones mentioned in the following passages?
Matt 12:24 Rev. 12:9
Matt 13:19 1 Thess. 3:5
John 8: 44 1 Peter 5:8
4. What is the difference between “the day of evil” Paul mentions in 6:13 and when he says, “the days are evil” in Chapter 5:16?
5. Why don’t we as Christians pay more attention to spiritual matters? (Spiritual warfare specifically?)
6. How does a believer “put on” the armor of God?
7. What does it mean to pray in the Spirit? How can we pray in the Spirit on all occasions? How’s this spiritual discipline going for you?

Hello Impacters!
Happy June! This week we'll continue in our excellent study of Ephesians with Ephesians 4 as Paul continues his message about unity and Christian living. Please read Ephesians 4 and review the questions below. We'll meet at our normal time and place, 7:00 PM at 700 Santa Cruz Blvd, Menlo Park.
Discussion Questions:
1. Why does Paul use the metaphor of a body when trying to describe the relationship of Christians to one another?
2. How have you helped preserve the “Unity of the Spirit”?
3. Read Psalm 68:18. What is the grace Paul is referring to in verse seven?
4. What are your spiritual gifts? Where do you feel called to use them?
5. How does speaking the truth in love promote maturity in Christ?
6. How is being mature in Christ different than being a mature person?
7. What does verse 30 reveal about the Holy Spirit? How can the Holy Spirit be grieved?
