Ephesians

Fifth Day: Review Ephesians 6:18-24, concentrating on verse 21.

1. From Ephesians 6:21, who is Paul sending to the Ephesians, and how is he described?

2. How does Paul further describe Tychicus in Colossians 4:7?

3. Read Acts 20:1-4. What do you learn about Tychicus from this passage?

4. Challenge: Paul wrote a letter to his devoted co-worker, Titus, who was carrying out difficult work in Crete. Read Titus 3:12. Who was Paul going to send to replace Titus? What do you think this says about Tychicus’ character?

5. Personal: Tychicus is not a name that immediately comes to mind when you think of mighty men of God in the Bible, yet without his help, Paul’s ministry might not have been as effective as it was. Do you ever look at what others are doing in service for the Lord and feel that your contribution is of little importance? Remember, it is not what “great” things we do for the Lord, but whether we are faithful to do what He has asked us to do (see Matthew 10:42; 1 Corinthians 2:4). Spend time in prayer today. Ask God to guide and direct you as you seek to serve Him.
