Concluding thoughts:
Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. What does walk worthy mean (v 1), and how would it apply to the members of Morningside during this time?
2. Why do you think Paul identifies himself as the prisoner of the Lord (v 1)
before he admonishes the Ephesians to walk worthy?
3. What do you think a low and meek (v 2) church member’s life would look like?
4. Why is it so important for you to be longsuffering and forbearing with each
other (v 2) during a season of pastoral transition?
5. In verse 6, Paul admonishes us to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of
peace. In light of the first three chapters of Ephesians, why do you think he
uses the word, keep, instead of create? What is the difference?
