Ephesians: One in Christ
Ephesians: A Prayer to Know God's Power
Pastor Bryan Yeo
August 27, 2023

Paul responded to God’s blessing with prayer.
• Paul had a habit of

and prayers (e.g., Acts 16:25-31; Romans 16:25-27; Philippians 1:3-6; 1 Thessalonians 5:27).
• Do my prayers reflect what I read in Scripture?


Paul prayed that the Ephesians would receive God’s wisdom.
• Paul used in his prayer to highlight three themes: wisdom (17-18), power (19-20), and authority (21-22).
• The wisdom of God brought the Ephesians great .
• God’s was contrary to the wisdom of the Ephesian culture.
• Do we choose God over the wisdom of our age?


God’s wisdom reveals God’s power demonstrated through the Church.

• The Church is the body of Christ!
• In salvation, God’s

is demonstrated in myriad ways.
• Fullness:

How can I know God’s power better?

How can I more fully trust in God’s power?
