In Part 5 of Family Matters, Pastor Hazen Stevens crosses the great pivot of Ephesians: after three chapters of what God has done, Paul turns and says "walk worthy of the calling to which you have been called." Not to earn the fullness, but to live it out.From the unity of one body and one Spirit to the gifts that equip the family to build itself in love, from putting on the new man to putting away the old, this message traces what the walk actually looks like when grace goes first: a life renewed from the inside, imitating God as dearly loved children.Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:1-6, Ephesians 4:7-16, Ephesians 4:17-24, Ephesians 4:25-32, Ephesians 5:1-2For more, visit gatecitybuckhead.com
Unity in the Spirit of God is what it means to walk worthy of our calling, as it releases the ministry of Jesus Christ beyond measure! "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." ⁃ Ephesians 4:1-3 NASB If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE
Yesterdayin verse 10, Paul reminded the Thessalonians how he and his companions hadlived among them: “holily and justly and unblameably.” Now in verses 11and 12, Paul says: “As you know how we exhorted and comforted and chargedevery one of you, as a father does his children, That you would walk worthy ofGod, who has called you unto His kingdom and glory.” Earlier, in verse 7,Paul compared himself to a nursing mother who tenderly cherishes her children.Now he changes the picture and says, “as a father does his children.” Whata beautiful picture of spiritual ministry! A godly father doesn't simply tellhis children what to do. He walks with them. He encourages them. He teachesthem. He corrects them when necessary. And most importantly, he wants to seethem grow and become everything God intends for them to be. Paulgives us three words describing what he and his fellow co-workers did for thesenew believers. I trust that you have noticed that Paul hasn't been saying “I”,when addressing the people at Thessalonica, but he acknowledges his companionsas he says, “we”. He first says, “As you know how we exhorted.” Toexhort someone means to come alongside them and encourage them to keep going inthe right direction. Sometimes we need someone to say, “Don't quit. Keep going.Stay faithful. God is with you.” Then Paul says, “We comforted.” Thereare times when people don't need a lecture—they need comfort. Life has itsdisappointments. There are heartaches, losses, illnesses, broken dreams, andunexpected difficulties. A loving spiritual father knows when someone needsencouragement and when they simply need an arm around their shoulder. Then Paulsays they “charged every one of you.” That word is stronger. It carriesthe idea of giving a solemn testimony or urging someone with seriousness. Thereare times when we need encouragement. There are times when we need comfort. Butthere are also times when someone who loves us needs to look us in the eye andsay, “This is the way you need to go. This is what God wants you to do.” Andnotice something else that I love in this verse. Paul says they did this for “everyone of you.” Paul wasn't merely interested in crowds. He was interested inindividual people. Every person mattered. That is a wonderful lesson forministry. We can become so concerned about numbers that we forget that everynumber represents a person—a person with a name, a family, a burden, and aneternal soul. Jesus ministered that way. He preached to the multitudes, but Healso had time for Nicodemus. He had time for the woman at the well. He had timefor blind Bartimaeus. He had time for Zacchaeus. Every person matters to God. Butwhat was Paul's goal in all this exhorting, comforting, and charging? Verse 12tells us: “That you would walk worthy of God.” That is the goal ofChristian discipleship. The word “walk” in the Bible often refers to the way welive our everyday lives. Paul is saying, in effect, “Live your life in a waythat is worthy of the God who saved you.” Andthen Paul gives us a wonderful reason: “Who has called you unto His kingdomand glory.” Think about that! God has called us out of darkness and intoHis marvelous light. He has called us out of a life of sin and given us eternallife. He has made us His children.Andone day, we will share in His kingdom and His glory. If that is our calling andthat is our destiny, then surely it should make a difference in how we livetoday. After54 years of marriage, I can look back and see many times when Edith and Ididn't know what the future held. But we knew Who held the future. And that isstill true today. Whether we are talking about marriage, raising children,ministry, friendships, or simply living the Christian life, we need the graceof God every day.

In Week Four of The Journey: Walking With Jesus, Pastor Jamie Wright challenges us to Walk Worthy. But walking worthy isn't about trying to earn God's approval—it's about living in agreement with what Jesus has already made true about us. Through Ephesians 4 and the story of the prodigal son, we're reminded that we're not walking toward acceptance; we're walking from acceptance. Grace has welcomed us home, restored our identity, and put shoes on our feet. Now we're called to walk like beloved sons and daughters—living with humility, gentleness, patience, love, unity, and peace. Put your shoes on, and keep walking with Jesus.
Ephesians 4:1-6 New King James Version 4 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Paul asked the Thessalonians church to walk worthy of their calling. What does that mean and how can we do it? Let's find out together as we read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 and Zechariah 8:1-23.
Christians are not only saved by grace but are shaped by grace, too.
We've simplified it to: don't use God's name as a curse word. But the Hebrew word isn't "take" - it's carry. And that changes everything. When Moses built an altar in Exodus 17 and called it "The Lord is my banner," he was saying: God's name is what we carry into battle. Before the commandment was even given, Moses understood - the name isn't a word you say. It's a banner you bear, a life you live, a claim you carry everywhere you go. In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what it actually means to carry God's name in vain - flippantly, as a formula, to get others to do what you want, or by living a life that contradicts what you profess. And then lands on the harder question Jesus asks in Matthew 7: not whether you've said the right words, but whether He knows you. In this message: Why "take" is the wrong translation - and what "carry" changes The sons of Sceva in Acts 19 - what happens when you use the name as a magic formula The fine line between sharing what God prompted and projecting your opinion in His name Matthew 7:21 - the people who prophesied and cast out demons Jesus says He never knew Romans 10:9 - the difference between lip service and heart belief Key Scriptures: Exodus 17:15; 20:7 • Acts 19:13–17 • Matthew 7:21–23 • Romans 10:9 • Colossians 1:9–14
The Christian life is more than attending church on Sunday—it's about how we walk every day. In this episode of ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we'll explore Paul's challenge to believers in Ephesians and Colossians to live intentionally, redeem the time, speak with grace, reject the old life, imitate Christ, and shine as lights in a dark world. God has called us to a different way of living. The question is: Are we walking worthy of that calling?
Following Jesus is about learning to live differently every day. In Ephesians 4, we're challenged to pursue spiritual maturity so that we can reflect Christ in the way we treat others. God isn't just changing what we do; He's transforming who we are from the inside out. Join us as we discover what it looks like to walk worthy of the calling God has placed on our lives.

The post How to Walk Worthy of the Lord appeared first on Woodland Hills Community Church.
Do you remember the day your son took his first step? Perhaps he had already been standing for a few weeks while holding onto the couch. But at some point, he took a wobbly step toward your outstretched arms. You clapped and cheered and gave him a giant hug. Learning to walk is a key milestone in a boy's physical development. But learning to walk worthy is just as important for a boy's spiritual development. If your son has accepted Christ as his personal Savior, teach him to honor the Lord through his words, thoughts, and actions.Colossians 1:10 is an excellent verse for you and your son to memorize together. It reminds us to “walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him . . .”To learn about the 5 Critical Needs of boys, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
