Fusion: week of 6/23

FAMILY THEME: THE BELIEVER'S WALK

Ephesians 5:1-21

The apostle Paul continued the metaphor of "walking" to remind the

Ephesians (and us) to walk in love, walk as children of light, and walk

wisely in a dark world.

1.  Our Attitude and Actions Should Be Distinct From Those of the World

     (Ephesians 5:1-6)

    Being followers of Jesus means that we have a different hope and

    different values from the world around us.

 
2.  Expose the Works of Darkness With the Light of the Gospel

     (Ephesians 5:7-14)

     When Christians live in light of the gospel, they will automatically

     shine a light on sin.

     

3.  Submit to the Guiding and Controlling Influence of the Holy Spirit

     (Ephesians 5:15-21)

     The Spirit guides us in understanding what God would have us to do.
