Ephesians 2

Read Ephesians 2 slowly, once or twice. Then sit with this:

You were once far off, a stranger outside the household, and now you belong. Picture a wall coming down between you and someone else. What would peace look like?

Three questions for the group

1. Read Ephesians 2 aloud, slowly. Which word or phrase stays with you?
2. Who do you quietly keep on the far side of a wall, a person or a group?
3. Where are you still trying to earn a welcome that has already been given?

Questions 2 and 3 are personal: share only what you want to share.

Close with a minute of silence, then pray in your own words.
