Firm Foundations Ephesians Growing in Christ: Teacher's Guide "In the first half of this letter Paul encourages his reader to view themselves as God sees them - chosen and fully accepted in Christ's perfection and endowed with every spiritual blessing that God could possible give.  Paul continues his letter with an emphasis on God's new revelation - the Church, God's Temple on earth. The second part of Paul's epistle is a call to believers to live according to their new position in Christ and to stand against the constant attacks of Satan by clothing themselves with the complete armor provided by God."  p. 1 Growing in Christ Ephesians These lessons are designed to be used over a 14-week period, either as a Sunday Schoolcurriculum or small-group Bible study.Each lesson builds on the foundation laid in the previous lesson, so it is importantthat the teacher does not eliminate any of the points because of limited teaching time. Ifnecessary, lessons should be divided into two rather than miss important points.The lessons are intended to be used by the teacher, along with the Bible. The studentsuse only their Bibles; there is no “student lesson,” although study guides are available.
