In this message, Pastor Benny teaches how following Jesus means leaving the old life behind.

Paul shifts from doctrine to daily living: walk worthy by guarding Spirit-given unity. Unity isn't uniformity—it's humility, gentleness, patience, and love in action. We're one body with one Spirit, hope, Lord, faith, baptism, and Father. Jesus gives leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) to equip the saints so every part serves. The goal? Maturity—no longer tossed by trends, but “speaking the truth in love” as each part does its work.
