Here are this week's Questions for Further Reflection: Read Ephesians 2:1-10.  What stands out to you as you read these texts?  Anything about these verses that takes you by surprise?Paul uses strong ideas to describe our lives before Christ (dead and enslavement).  Is Paul exaggerating?  Why do you think that Paul uses such strong language?  Why do you think that people choose to be enslaved to sin?  Can you name moments/seasons in your life where you noticed your self-centeredness more than others?The word hubris means pride in excess.  How does hubris impact our path to salvation?  Is it easy to boast (put our faith in) in ourselves to earn salvation?How do the words “but God” shape our understanding of walking in our faith?  (see v. 4)How does faith in Christ help you to rest?
