    Week 4 Explore: What To Do With The Power Paul Never Had (Ephesians 3:1-13)

    SJTE 25 - The SJTE Companion Journal, Small Group Guide, and Daily Affirmations are available here (free download). Summary In this Week 4 Explore, Nick and Jamie recap the end of Ephesians 2 and the opening of chapter 3, moving from "we are the Holy of Holies" into Paul's own story as a persecutor turned apostle. The deeper dives land on two big claims: that the church's unity is a stronger witness than any argument, and that the political power the church has gained since the 4th century is a power Paul himself never had, and isn't meant to be used the way empires use power. Week 4 Recap This week's spiritual practice was welcoming prayer — a quick, in-the-moment companion to centering prayer. Jamie calls it "the breath before you react." Mon: Finished Ephesians 2 — Gentile believers are no longer strangers but full citizens and family in God's household, built together with Jewish believers into a holy temple; we are now the new Holy of Holies, with Christ as cornerstoneTue: Chapter 2's imagination prayer Wed: Opens chapter 3 — Paul calls himself a "prisoner for Christ," reframing what his culture saw as disgrace as evidence of faithfulness; the "mystery" is Christ himself and the new, unified humanity formed from Jew and Gentile togetherThu: Paul calls himself "the least of all the saints" — God's grace lavished on the unimpressive and overlooked, an active grace that enlists people for ministryFri: The church exists to reveal God's wisdom not only to the world but to "the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places" (3:10) — plus a note that our confidence before God rests on Christ's faithfulness, not our own faith, and the Greek word thlipsis ("pressure/squeezing"). Deep Dives Jamie's Follow-Up: Grace, Inward and Outward: Jamie unpacks the weight of "we are the Holy of Holies" — not just personally reassuring (God is always near), but outward-facing: wherever we go, we carry God's presence to others, whether or not they ever set foot in a church. Nick — "Our unity is a better argument than our arguments": Digs into the rare Greek word polipoikilos ("many-colored," "rich variety") describing God's wisdom in 3:10, and Paul's claim that this wisdom is made known to the rulers and authorities not through rhetoric or apologetics, but through the church's unity. Conclusion: disunity doesn't just feel bad — it undercuts the one thing meant to prove the gospel true to a watching world.Jamie — Grace on the least likely: Walks through Paul's backstory as Saul the persecutor to explain why Paul calls himself "the least of all the saints." Grace, doesn't just rescue the undeserving — it empowers them for ministry, often bypassing the credentialed and powerful in favour of ordinary people.Nick — "What do we do with the power Paul never had?": Traces how the church moved from having zero political power to real social and political influence. Warns against Christian nationalism and any attempt to force God's kingdom into being through legislation or political dominance — citing Lynn Cohick on believers today having opportunities and resources earlier Christians didn't. The church's call is to use whatever influence it has to speak for the voiceless and address injustice, not to seize control.
