TUESDAY CHALLENGE
On Sunday, we looked at Ephesians chapter 3 where Paul reminded us of several vital points to help us be the church that God has called us to be. 
First, the sufferings and struggles we face in life can be seen as God preparing for a greater advance of the gospel. What situations or struggles are you facing and how might God use these circumstances to advance the gospel?
Second, when we come to Christ we realize our sins are forgiven and we have a future eternity with God. But sometimes when it comes to living the gospel on a daily basis, we change it to fit our needs and desires. How might you be twisting the gospel in this way? 
Finally, Paul says that he is a servant to the gospel. That is, we do not own the gospel, the message controls us. What are some areas of your life that you need to surrender to Christ and the message of the gospel?
