Strengthened by the Spirit: The Love of Christ | Ephesians 3:11-19
In Ephesians 3:11–19, Paul shows us the incredible access believers have to God the Father through Jesus Christ—and why we need the strength of the Holy Spirit to endure trials faithfully.
Paul prays that believers would be strengthened by the Spirit in the inner man, rooted and grounded in the love of Christ, and able to comprehend the breadth, length, depth, and height of Christ’s love. This study looks at prayer, Christian endurance, the work of the Holy Spirit, persecution, and the unsearchable riches of Christ’s love.
As we understand more of Christ’s love for us, we are strengthened to endure suffering, resist temptation, and remain faithful to Him.
Join Alex for a verse-by-verse Bible study through Ephesians as we think more deeply about Christ and learn to love Him more.

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ and the Wisdom of God | Ephesians 3:8–11
In Ephesians 3:8–11, Paul continues explaining the mystery of the Gospel and the incredible riches we have in CHRIST.
Paul describes himself as “less than the least of all saints,” yet he has been given the grace to preach the “unsearchable riches of Christ.” These riches are so vast that we can never come to the end of knowing and appreciating CHRIST.
We also examine the “fellowship of the mystery,” the work of the HOLY SPIRIT in revealing spiritual truth, and the role of the church in making known the manifold wisdom of GOD.
Paul then explains that GOD’s wisdom is being made known to the “principalities and powers in heavenly places.” We consider what this means, how it connects with the angels’ desire to look into the Gospel, and why Hebrews 1 reminds us that CHRIST is greater than the angels.
Ultimately, all of this points back to GOD’s eternal purpose in CHRIST.
The Gospel is bigger than our individual circumstances. GOD is accomplishing an eternal purpose through CHRIST, and believers have the privilege of being used by HIM as part of that purpose.
Ephesians 3:10–11:
“To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

You’ve Been Entrusted with the Gospel | Ephesians 3:1-8
If you have received the Gospel, what are you supposed to do with it?
In Ephesians 3:1-8, Paul explains the ministry God gave him to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles and reveal the mystery of Christ. But Paul’s example points to a responsibility that every Christian should take seriously: we have been given the good news of Jesus Christ, and we are called to make Him known.
As we continue through Ephesians, we’ll look at why Paul considered his ministry a gift of God’s grace, what the “mystery” of Christ really was, and what it means for us to be faithful stewards of the Gospel we’ve received.
