In this gathering, we hear from Sarah that Ephesians 3 is the turning point where everything Paul has been building — our identity, our adoption, our belonging — culminates in one word: power.
Sarah digs into Ephesians 3 and shows how being adopted into God's family means far more than belonging — it means inheriting real power and purpose.
She unpacks why this life was never meant to run on your own effort, and how learning to "get out of the way" opens you up to a God who does far more than you could ask, think or imagine.
If you've ever felt not good enough, or been disappointed by God, this one is for you.
📖 BIBLE STUDY (approx. 10 minutes)
Title: Get Out of the Way
Key Passage: Ephesians 3:16–20 (TPT)
"And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God! Never doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you."
Context: Ephesians 3 is the hinge of the letter — after three chapters unpacking who we are in Christ, Paul prays that this identity would be fuelled not by our own effort but by the explosive power of God at work within us.
Discussion Questions:
Paul reframed being a prisoner of Rome into being "a prisoner of Christ." Where in your life right now might God be inviting you to reframe your situation rather than just endure it?
In the Roman world, an adopted heir received the father's position, power and purpose — and had all their old debts wiped. What changes when you read your adoption into God's family that way, instead of as just being "let in"?
Sarah talked about "getting out of the way" so God's grace can work through us. What's the fear or self-doubt that most often gets you in your own way?
Where have you lowered your expectations of God because of past disappointment — and what would it look like to hope again this week?
Application: This week, start each day with a simple prayer: "God, help me to get out of the way, and let Your power work through me." Then watch for the moment you'd normally shrink back — the conversation you'd avoid, the person you'd hesitate to pray for — and step in anyway, trusting it's His grace and not your ability doing the work.
Takeaway Thought: It was never about your ability — it's about His power working through you when you get out of the way.
