“How We Live Matters”

Ephesians 5:7-20

1. Walk in the light, exposing darkness, so that others may witness God’s truth.

2. Walk in wisdom to make the most of your time and avoid a wasted life.

Walk in wisdom = understanding and doing what God desires.

3. Walk in the Spirit, embracing a life of joy, gratitude, and worship.

Main Idea: Live like you know that God loves you. 

1. Walk in love, by imitating Christ. Verse 2

2. Walk in love, by rejecting impurities, greed, and corrupt speech. Verse 3-7

3. Walk in love, by cultivating thanksgiving. Verse 4

For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything. For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

(1 Thessalonians 1:4-10)
