“God Is the Main Character”
Pastor Rob Wilson
May 3, 2026

What is your faith story? Tell it to someone out loud or spend a few moments writing it down. Notice not only the significant events in your faith journey but more importantly the "players" and roles that others have had. Our journey through Paul's Letter to the Ephesians continues today as we study Ephesians 2:1-10. In these verses, we will learn something about each of our faith journeys and be introduced to the major actor in them all: God.We cannot underestimate the importance of keeping God's role in our lives front and center through the person of Jesus Christ and the activity of the Holy Spirit. He intends to be more than a Savior but also a Lord. In fact, we will examine what happens when we do not lift up God as the major actor in our faith stories and also discover how these ten verses will be essential to understanding the diversity and inclusivity of the global church (next week). The following study questions may be helpful for your spiritual journaling or a discussion with a trusted spiritual friend or group of people:

1. Share the major events and the people involved in your faith story. How was God the major 'actor' in your story?

2. Why is it important to Paul that we understand God's role in our salvation so that "noone can boast"?

3. Give both obvious and subtle examples of spiritual arrogance that you have seen or perhaps even experienced in your life?

4. Discuss the role of 'grace' in your faith journey and how being a child of God, born out of grace effects how we view others?
