Square One

he BIG Idea: The gospel makes it clear that we do not live because of ourselves or to ourselves, but because of God and to God.

The Decline of a Church

• Paul and the Gospel in Ephesus (Acts 19)

• Paul and the Ephesian Elders (Acts 20:17-38)

• Paul and the Letter to Timothy (1 Timothy) •Jesus’ Warning to the Church (Revelation 2:1-7)

Square One

Remember where you came from. (1-3)

Remember what God did not do to you. (4)

Remember what God did do for you. (5-9)

Remember who made you new. (10)

What and Why

What is the result of remembering all of this? Humility

Why does it matter?

1. For the oneness of the church and the glory of God. (Ephesians 2:11-4:16)

2. For your freedom and joy . (Ephesians 4:17-32)
