Episode Notes: Anger Management. (Ephesians 4: 26-27)
Today's episode is not about avoiding anger, suppressing it, or even pretending anger doesn’t exist.  It’s more about managing anger. Understanding anger. And — believe it or not — sometimes expressing anger….
 Our single verse today: “ ‘In your anger do not sin’ do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,…” (Ephesians 4:26)
 Or, as the King James Version puts it: “Be ye angry, and sin not.”
 That’s a command—a biblical imperative. So, which is it? How can he command anger in verse 26 and condemn anger in verse 31? The answer is simple — and insightful:

Episode Notes:  Walking in Righteousness - Speaking the Truth in Love. (Ephesians 4: 25)
Saved by Grace, United in One Body.
 Earlier in this letter, Paul reminded us that it is: “By grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8) We are saved by grace, not by our performance. And when we trust Christ, we become part of something bigger than ourselves — the Body of Christ. We are joined to one another. We belong to one another. We grow with one another. We serve one another. That’s why Paul said yesterday our purpose is “…to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…” (Ephesians 4:12–13)
The Journey of Spiritual Growth.
 In yesterday's study, we were given three foundational principles:
 
1. Put off the old self
“…put off your former way of life…” (4:22)
Take off the old habits, the old attitudes, the old patterns of sin — like taking off an old coat.
 2. Renew your mind
“…be made new in the attitude of your minds…” (4:23)
Let Scripture reshape your thinking so you begin to think God’s thoughts rather than simply reacting to the world around you.
 3. Put on the new self
“…put on the new self, created to be like God…” (4:24)
Replace old vices with new virtues. Replace old habits with new patterns. Replace old ways of speaking with new ways of speaking.
 But now — beginning in verse 25 — Paul gets specific.
 
He gives us five concrete examples of what spiritual growth looks like in everyday life. And over the next five episodes, we’re going to take each one in turn. And the first one — the foundation of all the others — is this found in this single verse, verse 25…. Our single verse today…

Episode Notes:  Walking in Holiness. (Eph 4: 17-24)
Some people grow up… and some people grow old. You’ve probably met both kinds.
Some Christians grow up in Christ — they become wiser, steadier, more loving, more Christlike. Others grow old in Christ —attending church, learning the religious language, but never really changing.
 In this passage, Paul is urging us to be the first kind of people, those who grow up spiritually and become more like Christ. And he describes this growth using a phrase we’ve seen before: “Walking in righteousness.”
Over the coming episodes, we’re going to continue to look at the different ways Paul says we should “walk.” But today, we begin with this foundational one:
 Walking in righteousness… walking in holiness. 
So how do we grow spiritually and live righteously without becoming self‑righteous? How do we display holiness without becoming holier‑than‑thou?
 Paul begins to answer that in verse today’s passage, Ephesians 4:17–24….

Episode Notes:  Walking in Servanthood. (Ephesians, Hebrews, John, and Thessalonians)
Today we’re returning to a couple of verses we looked at in our last episode. (Ephesians 4:11–12) And some other New Testament verses, but you might be wondering why. 
 Didn’t we already cover this? Didn’t we already talk about unity, diversity, and spiritual gifts?
 Yes — but now we’re going to slow down and look at something far more practical: 
 How do we actually serve one another?
How do we walk in servanthood?
How do we minister to real people in real situations?
Every believer has a spiritual gift. Every believer has a calling. Every believer has a ministry. The only difference is the type of gift we bring.
 So today, I want to lay out some general principles that apply to all pastoral ministries. Principles that work in every situation, in every church, and in every relationship.
 And then I’ll look at a few practical examples of how to support people in real‑world scenarios….

Episode Notes:  Walking in Unity. (Ephesians 4  4-16) 
Unity…. It’s one of the most beautiful words in the Christian vocabulary — and one of the hardest to maintain.
 How do we keep good relationships?
How do we preserve unity in our families, in our churches, and even across the worldwide body of Christ?
  Because division is a disease. Division drains strength from a family. Division weakens a church that should be strong. Division distracts a fellowship from its mission and forces it to turn inward, tending its wounds instead of reaching the world. .... And if division goes untreated long enough, it can even become terminal.
 So, how do we create unity among such a wide diversity of people who all call themselves followers of Jesus?
 I believe the answers are found right here in Ephesians chapter 4….
