Ephesians 3:7-12 KJV 

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) After writing about the mystery of Christ and the revelation of that mystery to himself, what did the Apostle Paul write about the ministry that was given to him by the grace of God (i.e., what was the purpose of that ministry)? (v.7-12)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
2) Have you, or anyone else you know, ever been granted a special revelation of the Word of God that edified or encouraged the members of body of Christ? If so, briefly describe what it was and how the revelation impacted other members of the body.

LIFE LESSONS
