SERMON 6: SURPASSING GROWTH

Rev. Mau Rivera / Ephesians 3:14-21
BUILD WITH THE REALIZATION OF CHRIST'S EMPOWERING SPIRIT, THE VASTNESS OF

HIS LOVE, AND HIS INCOMPREHENSIBLE POWER THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU

I. POWER OF HIS SPIRIT

“For this reason | kneel before the Father, “from whom His whole family in heaven and
on earth derives its name. *°! pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you

with power through His Spirit in your inner being, “so that Christ may dwell in your

hearts through faith.

Il. POWER OF HIS LOVE

And | pray that you, being rooted and established in love, “may have power, together

with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

sand to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the

measure of all the fullness of God.

Ill. POWER OF HIS SUPREMACY

2°Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to His power that is at work within us, “to Him be glory in the church and in

Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

STUDY GUIDE

The following supplementary Siucly Guide is designed to enhance your understanding and application of the message.
it is recommended that the guide be conducted in a small group setting such as your bible study Connect Group.

OBJECTIVE::

TO BUILD WITH THE REALIZATION OF CHRIST'S EMPOWERING SPIRIT, THE VASTNESS OF HIS

THATLOVE, AND HIS INCOMPREHENSIBLE POWER IS AVAILABLE TO YOU.

SYNOPSIS::
In Paul's letter to the Church of Ephesus - in Ephesians 3:14-21 - Paul glorified God in his life and
attributed everything to Him, praying that the Ephesians (and all believers thereafter) would realize
the same.

INTRODUCTORY QUESTION:
If you were to acquire a unique superpower (either seen or not yet seen on movies/tv), what would
it be? Why?

APPLICATION QUESTIONS::

1. What did Paul mean when he prayed for the strengthening of the believers with ‘power

through His Spirit in (their) inner being”, and why was it such a relevant prayer then (as it stillis

now)? In verse 17, explain Paul's prayer when he prayed for Christ to “dwell in their hearts

a. through faith.”

2. Read verses 17b - 18. How can we as Christians fully grasp, understand, and comprehend the

power of Christ’s love in our lives?
a. Read verse 19. What does it mean know God's love that “surpasses knowledge”?

b. What does it mean to be “filled to the measure of all the fullness of God”?

3. Read verse 20. Itis clear in the Scriptures that God is able to do all things anytime. What is the
significance of the statement, “according to His power that is at work within us"?

ABOUT SBCF

Subic Bay Community of Faith started in the summer of 2010 when a vision of church planting in
Subic Bay Freeport Zone was laid in the hearts of John Phillip and Mei Chua Chiaco. On
Sepiember 25, 2010, thirty-five people mei for the first worship service with Rev. Noel Panioja,
assisted by his loving wife Jenny Pantoja serving as the Lead Pastor/Church Planter of the team.
A year later, Rev. Maurice Adam Rivera was called io continue the spiritual leadership of SBCF.

While the church over the years continued to participate in numerous community-based
ministries such as outreaches, medical missions, church planting, fellowship groups, ministering
to the ministers, and other similar activities, ihe Lord steered the leadership of His Church to
prioritize discipleship and focus on the internal growth of those called to SBCF. Through His
leading and voice, the mission of SBCF became clear: to Develop Dynamic Disciples by leading
others to cultivate their inner life through Christ Jesus.

Today, SBCF continues to champion the call to Christian authenticity by prioritizing our own

relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We encourage people of all ages and

thebackgrounds to come and experience joy and resteciness only Christ can bring. Worship with

us, and come as you are! Welcome io the SBCF family!

ABOUT THE SERMON SERIES

BUILDING DEEP: BRICK x BRICK
In ourjourney as disciples of Christ Jesus, we are called to live a life that continuously develops depth of
spiritual understanding, As we mature, it is no longer enough to just know the fundamentals of our faith, but
necessary to build a much deeper relationship with our God, We must learn to understand the purpose of
the personal ministry He gave to each one of us, and learn to work together in order to attain the whole
measure of the plans He prepared for His Church,

In order to achieve this, one must continue building on what was already prepared, and start building up

steadily, brick by brick. It is through the steady additions of these sturdy and solid “bricks” that a house built

to last could be ready for its intencled purpose.
We have created 13 sermons from the Book of Ephesians meant to build on the foundation we have already
started and help us grow deeper in our Christian faith by understanding the nature and purpose of His
Church, and how we each play a pivotal role in the Body of Christ.
Come and journey with us as we build the beginnings of our superstructure in Christ Jesus, Brick by Brick.
