Personal Reflection & Small Group Questions

Please complete this study on your own, then bring it to your small group for discussion.

1. How is “standing” significant in literal warfare?

2. Where do Christians derive strength? How do we do so?

3. How does this passage serve as a summary of many of the ideas in the book of Ephesians?

4. Explain the pieces of armor. What does it mean to take them up as the armor of God?

5. If the enemy targeted one area of your spiritual life right now, where would it be? How can your small group pray for your protection and perseverance?

6. How does it encourage you that Paul asks others to pray for him as he proclaims the gospel? Take time to pray for one another’s boldness and faithfulness in witness.
