Questions for Further Reflection Read Ephesians 1:15-23.  What stands out to you as you read these texts?  Anything about these verses that takes you by surprise?What are some of the “disputable matters” of the faith that we should hold loosely?  Think in terms of doctrines that we should be close fisted about vs. open-handed.  Reflect with your group on times that you have allowed an open-handed matter to get in the way of your “love for all believers.”What is the hope of the Christian?  Is there anything more than just hope “beyond the grave?”  How do we live with (or cultivate) such hope?What struggles do you have that keep you from experiencing wisdom, knowledge, and enlightenment of the heart?  In an earthly context, is there anything that you allow to get in the way of the spiritual disciplines that might lead to a lack of the “deeper stuff?”Have you ever tried to fire God for not meeting your expectations?  In what ways do we seek God as a resource (using His power) rather than seeking Him as our authority?What do you (honestly) want to be known for?  How does what you want to be known for fit into your understanding of the Christian faith?
