Faith was never meant to stay the same. A faith that is not growing is a faith that is vulnerable, and Ephesians 4 gives us a clear picture of how God designed our faith to mature. Immature faith gets tossed around by false teaching and deception, much like a toddler knocked flat by a small wave. God's design for growth is not a solo effort. He placed us in a body of believers, gave each person unique gifts, and provided pastors and teachers to equip us for the work. The goal is Christlikeness, and the path runs straight through community. Truth and love together are the two pillars of a maturing church. Stay connected to Christ, stay connected to His people, and trust that from Him, the whole body grows.
Join us as we discuss our walk as Christians, and what our response should be given our position in Jesus Christ. Are we living our lives worthy of our calling?
07-19-26 What Does It Mean To Be A Church Member?: Accountability - Ephesians 4:17-32 by Woodlawn Baptist Church
How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this message, Pastor Karl explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35, revealing that forgiveness is not about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible mercy we've received from God.Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Pastor Karl explains the immeasurable debt of sin that Christ has forgiven and why that forgiveness transforms the way we respond to those who hurt us. Discover the difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior, why forgiveness is central to life in God's Kingdom, and how releasing others from their debt brings freedom to our own hearts.Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, strained relationships, or the challenge of extending grace, this message offers biblical truth and practical encouragement to help you walk in the freedom Christ has made possible.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Title: Unity in the Real World - Ephesians 4:25–32 Unity isn't just something we talk about—it's something we live every day. In Ephesians 4:25–32, Paul shows us what genuine Christian unity looks like through our words, attitudes, actions, and relationships. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect the new life He has given us by speaking truth, controlling our anger, working with integrity, encouraging others with our words, and extending the same forgiveness we've received in Christ. In this message, you'll discover how everyday choices can either strengthen or weaken the unity God desires for His church. In this message you'll learn: Why unity is built on truth. How self-control protects relationships. The importance of integrity and generosity. How our words can build others up with grace. Why our attitudes matter to the Holy Spirit. What it means to choose kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Key Takeaway: Real unity is possible when we put off our old way of living and choose to love one another as Christ has loved and forgiven us.

The apostles' four prohibitions (idols, blood, strangled, sexual immorality) for Gentile believers in Acts 15 were a starting line, not a finish line, for holiness. Explore how they fit together with Leviticus 17–20, Amos 9, Acts 10 and Ephesians 4–5. Find out how Gentiles “called by God's name,” mixed seeds and fabrics, and why honest speech, justice, and love of neighbor are central to walking as a holy people in a divided modern world. 7 takeaways from this study (https://hallel.info/torah-090-2026/) 1. Treat the instructions for Gentile believers in Acts 15 as a starting line, not a ceiling. 2. Let God's word define sin, not your imagination. 3. Guard your speech with absolute honesty. 4. Honor relationships that God links together. 5. Pursue holiness through concrete actions. 6. Replace hatred with constructive admonition. 7. Live as a grafted-in member of God's people.

Original Date: 07/12/2026John Crosby1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.” 9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and from by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

July 5, 2026 What if spiritual maturity isn't just about knowing more about Jesus, but actually becoming more like Him? In Ephesians 4:17–32, Paul invites us to take an honest look at the “old wardrobe” we may still be wearing: patterns like anger, bitterness, harsh words, and un-forgiveness that no longer match who we are in Christ. But God doesn't just call us to throw off the old; He invites us to put on the character of Jesus through truth, kindness, generosity, self-control, and forgiveness. This message will challenge us to ask: What old way of life is the Holy Spirit asking me to take off, and what new way of Christ is He inviting me to put on?

Along the way, we'll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our everyday relationships—with family, friends, the Church, and the world around us. Ephesians is an invitation to step into God's greater story and live the kind of life we were created for.

Description: Going Forward | Growing in Grace, Truth, and Love (Ephesians 4:7-16) In Ephesians 4:7-16, the Apostle Paul moves from explaining the beauty of the gospel to showing believers how to live it out. Because we have received God's incredible grace through Christ, we are called to move forward as transformed followers of Jesus. This message explores three marks of a growing Christian: 1. Be Gracious God's grace has been freely given to us through Christ, and that grace should overflow into the way we treat others. A gracious spirit reflects the heart of Jesus and becomes a powerful witness to those around us. 2. Be Grounded God gives pastors, teachers, and His Word to help believers grow in truth and maturity. Knowing Christ deeply protects us from false teaching and anchors our lives in the unchanging truth of Scripture. 3. Be Growing Spiritual growth is more than gaining knowledge—it is becoming more like Christ. As each believer uses the gifts God has given, the church is strengthened and built up in love. The Christian life is a journey forward: growing in grace, standing firm in truth, and living in the love of Christ. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-16 Big Idea: God's grace transforms us so that we grow together into the likeness of Christ.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Walking in Kindness. (Ephesians 4 31-32)We've been walking together through Ephesians 4 — a chapter where Paul takes the great truths of the gospel and brings them right down into the everyday details of life.He has shown us that spiritual growth is not something vague or mystical. It is practical, it is observable, and it is lived out in the ordinary moments of our day.So far, chapter 4 has taught us to:To speak the truth with honesty and compassionTo handle anger in a righteous, disciplined wayTo work diligently and generouslyTo use our words to build people up, not tear them downAnd now, as Paul brings this section of the letter to a close, he gives us two of the most beautiful, but most challenging, and most Christ‑like commands in the entire chapter:“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender‑hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”(Ephesians 4:31–32)This is where the whole chapter has been leading. This is the destination of our “walk in righteousness.” This is what spiritual maturity looks like when it finally takes root in the heart and life of the believer.So today, we begin exploring what it means to walk in kindness….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

What is the biblical role of an evangelist?Many Christians associate evangelists with traveling revival preachers who move from church to church preaching special services. While that model has been common in Pentecostal circles, is it the same role the apostle Paul described in Ephesians 4:11?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard explores the New Testament ministry of the evangelist and explains why this calling remains essential to the church today. Drawing from Scripture, he discusses how evangelists fit within the ministry gifts Christ gave to the church, how their work differs from that of pastors and teachers, and how they help fulfill the church's mission of reaching the lost.Whether you serve in ministry, feel called to evangelistic work, or simply want a deeper understanding of biblical church leadership, this episode offers practical insight into one of the most important ministry roles in the New Testament.Apostolic Life in the 21st Century is a weekly podcast in which Dr. David K. Bernard answers questions about Scripture, theology, Christian living, and contemporary issues from an Apostolic Pentecostal perspective.If you enjoy this podcast, leave a five-star rating and a review on Apple Podcasts or your preferred podcast platform.

In this episode, Nancy Wilson reflects on God's ongoing work of restoration and renewal, drawing from the Psalms and New Testament passages about the renewing of the mind, the inward man being renewed day by day, and the Holy Spirit's work of regeneration.
