Main Idea: Paul’s doxology reminds us that God does more than we ask, think, or imagine ...  not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

The Mystery of the Gospel (Eph. 3:1-14)

1. The “mystery” is that Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of one body, partakers of the promise in Christ (v. 6)  
2. The gospel doesn’t make us better; it makes us new (2 Cor. 5:17)
3. God is working every moment of our lives to accomplish His purpose through us.  

Paul’s response: “For this reason I bow my knees …” (v. 14)

• Respond in Surrender: Lord, do more in me!
• Respond in Worship: Never get over your being saved!
• Respond in Faith: Expect God to keep working in your life.

The Impact of the Gospel (Eph. 20-21)

1. God is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think.
2. His work is not limited by our resources but is powered by His Spirit at work within us.  
3. God can do more than …

• Your prayers
• Your plans
• Your dreams

Reflection Questions:

• Am I living in expectation or limitation?
• Am I praying small when God is calling me to believe big?
• Am I settling for good when God is offering more?
