I've always wondered how anyone who personally experienced the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead could just turn and live their lives as always -- some actually allowing it to fuel their hate and rejection of Jesus as the Messiah. How could they witness such immense power and not be changed? Chris Tomlin's song "Resurrection Power" reminds us that believers have this power living on the inside.

Paul prays for a significant gift for the Ephesians that we need from God as well. Join me in investigating this prayer.

On this week's episode I discuss:

• Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
  • Read in context

• Investigating what the "immeasurably great" power of God can do
• Exploring the characteristics of resurrection power
