Strangers Made Family| January 18, 2026 | Ephesians 2:18-22

Opening: Getting to know one another better

1. How would you describe your musical tastes? Classic rock, R&B, classical, contemporary Christian, 80’s, etc.

Read & Discuss: Ephesians 2:18-22

2. Who is God’s family? How do we see family in the Trinity?

3. How do we see each member of the godhead in 2:18? What other references to a ‘divine family’ are seen in the rest of Ephesians?

4. Look at 3:14-15. Where does our identity as a family originate? What are the implications that we were made to belong to a family?

5. What metaphors or images of the church are seen in 2:19-22?

6. What does it mean that Jesus is the cornerstone of the household of God?

7. 2:22 states that we “are being built together” which means we not only are next to the cornerstone but also to one another. With this reality, how should our relationships with each other in the church look?

Pray together both for the things that make us anxious that distract us from God and for those in your life who need peace with God.
