God's Love = POWER!

My kids have just come down from an amazing and exhausting week doing TOM SAWYER with CYT Wichita. It was a very impressive performance and everyone worked really hard together to pull it off! I love to see the body of Christ using each gift for one common goal, all for His glory! It's so worth all the work! It is hard to get back to the dailiness of school, though, after being so physically tired, so this morning we're starting off the week with POWER!

This week our bible study revolves around my favorite passage in all of God's Word.

Here is part of our Martin Family Bible Study, if you'd like to study along with us:

Circle the word POWER in your bible!

Mark the word LOVE with a heart around it.

Think about how much Jesus loves you. Have you grasped that yet?

Think of words that might describe how much Jesus loves you….

Wider than ______________________________

Longer than ______________________________

Higher than ______________________________

Deeper than ______________________________

What do you think it means to be “rooted and established in love”? Look up the word “established” and write the definition.

Draw a tree and it’s roots. What is the importance of the roots? How does this relate to being rooted in God’s love?

What does verse 19 say that this love surpasses (or is more important than)?

Knowing God’s love fills us up! His love is POWER in our lives. Remember marking the word POWER in Eph.3:14-21. Go back and read it out loud and yell the word POWER when you do!

Read verses 20 & 21.

WHO IS ABLE?

WHAT IS HE ABLE TO DO?

DEFINE IMMEASURABLY.

ACCORDING TO WHAT?

WITHIN WHO?

TO WHO BE THE GLORY?

FOR HOW LONG?

AMEN!!!
