Living in the Peace Christ Purchased

Title: Living in the Peace Christ Purchased

Text: Ephesians 2:13–18

Outline:

I. Peace Through Christ’s Blood (v.13) 

II. Peace That Breaks Down Hostility (vv.14–16) 

III. Peace That Grants Access to the Father (vv.17–18) 

Application Questions:

1. How does the breaking down of hostility challenge the way we think about unity in the church today?

2. Are there any “walls of hostility” in your heart toward other believers? How does this passage challenge you to address them?

3. How does verse 18 relate to prayer? How should it affect our view of prayer? 

4. In what ways does our access to God through Christ shape our daily relationship with Him?

5. How can you be an agent of Christ’s peace in a divided world?
