Podcasts about scripture: ephesians 5:3-5:14

Sarah Schneider Watson, co-lead pastor, is speaking from Ephesians 5 where Paul talks about 3 temptations to depend on yourself instead of relying on God. The difference when we give up control and begin to trust will change us forever!

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be imitators of Christ. This imitation consists of walking in love, but it also consists of walking in light. Join with us this Sunday as we study Ephesians 5:3-14 with the purpose of understanding how to biblically live out our calling to be the light of Christ in this dark world.

Every one of us is born into darkness due to a fatal sin problem, but we believe a relationship with Jesus cures every person who believes. Salvation in Christ alone is the cure. So Paul now calls believers to become who they are - light in the Lord. Because Jesus loved us and gave Himself up for us, we are expected to live differently. The church is commanded to hold each other accountable and discipline each other out of and away from sexual sin [1 Cor. 5]. If a person calls themselves a brother or sister and continues in blatant and open immorality, the church has to take action. And when action is taken, it is to be done with love as the motivation and reconciliation as the goal, otherwise we're doing it wrong. To pursue the selfish and sinful desires of our hearts rather than God's will is idolatry. Are the desires of your heart leading towards Jesus, or away from Him? People who are walking in the light will not speak the way people of the world speak. Instead of being known for corrupt speech, Christians should be known for giving thanks. You display the fruit of walking in light by not participating in the works of darkness. There is transforming power in the light of Christ. Don’t fear the light of truth – run into it. With it comes healing, restoration, forgiveness, and freedom!

El cristiano debe tener el compromiso de vivir una vida que da testimonio de la luz de Cristo, para que ilumine a un mundo que está en oscuridad.
