How to Live As A Child of God - Aaron McRae

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of effort, but a wrong starting point?In Ephesians 4, Paul describes two very different ways to live — one marked by exhausted striving, and one that starts somewhere completely different: belonging. Pastor Aaron McRae opens our new series on Scripture and the Christian Life by asking a strange question — what does your life actually smell like to the people around you? — and unpacks a simple but life-changing order: you don't become to belong. You belong, so you become.Why "putting off" old patterns only works when it flows from identity, not effortWhat adoption into God's family actually means — and why it changes everythingOne practical shift you can make this week in how you speak, handle anger, or respond to conflictScripture: Ephesians 4:17–5:2 | Romans 8:14–15 | 2 Corinthians 5:17Stay connected with us throughout the week:YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.comFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com
