Be Filled

August 18, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Ephesians 5:18–21

In this final message of our series on "Living the New Life," Jeff talks about what it looks like for a Christian to live out of their identity as a Spirit-filled Christian. The evidence of a life that is living in obedience to Christ will be fruitful as the Holy Spirit continues to draw the Christian closer to the heart of God, with their heart attitudes and behavior changing as a result.

Be Discerning

August 11, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Ephesians 5:6–17

In today's world, it can be confusing to even know who to listen to, let alone believe. In this message, Jeff emphasizes the importance of discernment, urging believers to live as children of light by rejecting deception, exposing darkness, and understanding God's will through His Word. The church needs to be shrewd in a world full of lies, maintaining joy while standing firm in righteousness, just as Christ did.

Be Gracious

August 4, 2024 • Sean Couch • Ephesians 4:31–32

In this continuation of our Living the New Life series, Sean discusses the importance of releasing bitterness and anger and embracing kindness, compassion, and grace in our relationships. We delve into how these attitudes reflect our new life in Christ and are grounded in the rich theological truths Paul presents in the earlier chapters of Ephesians. Reflect with us on the incredible grace God has shown us and learn more about how to extend that grace to others within the church community.

Be Constructive

July 28, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Ephesians 4:29

How do you "use your words?" We have been given a finite number of words to use, and we have a choice to either allow our communication to be transformed by the power of the gospel, or to continue to speak carelessly. In this continuation of our Living the New Life series, we look at how Jesus can transform our communication to build others up and give thanks.
