“Timeless Truth: Christ is the situation of your citizenship.” Paul's situation was not "in prison (even though that is from where he was writing this letter). His situation was Jesus Christ. Our circumstances do not change our situation.
5 CALLS to Believers in this Passage
1) WALK with Christian leaders. Imitate people who are laser-focused & set on the resurrection & who are pursuing Christ hard. (3:17)
2) WEEP about those who are hostile to the cross of Christ. Don’t forget the mission. Weep about lost people. (3:18-19)
3) WAIT. Hope hopefully for the Savior’s return & for the resurrection. (3:20-21)
4) WELCOME other believers with affectionate fellowship. (4:1)
5) WITHSTAND adversity in the Lord. Stand firm in your situation which is your heavenly citizenship in Christ. There is enough to get discouraged about, but don’t be discouraged. Be encouraged in Christ. (4:1)
Since this Tuesday is Election Day, here's some practical advice: Go to the websites of both parties. Study the platforms of both parties. Be self-critical of your party. Pray. Then go vote.

Living Wisely in 2024
December 31, 2023 • Dr. Larry Greene • Ephesians 5:15–18
TAP "NOTES" TO TAKE, SAVE, AND SHARE YOUR OWN NOTES 2023 will soon be a closed book—deposited on the shelf of time; it will not be taken down again until God opens the volumes of the ages for His final review and judgment. There is nothing we can do about 2023, but we can decide to make some alterations going into 2024. Today’s passage reveals that no matter what the new year brings, we must choose to live wisely. There are four characteristics of living wisely in 2024. 1. Be careful how you walk, v. 15. 2. Make the most of your time, v. 16. 3. Know God’s will for your life, v. 17. 4. Be controlled by the Spirit, v. 18. The important issue is NOT what 2024 will bring upon you. The crucial issue is what you will bring into 2024.
