Rooted: Do the New

Ephesians 4:25-32 provides a practical roadmap for Christian transformation. Paul outlines specific areas where believers need to replace old patterns with new ones: exchanging lies for truth, uncontrolled anger for righteous responses, stealing for generous work, destructive words for encouraging speech, and bitterness for kindness and forgiveness. This transformation isn't a single event but an ongoing process that requires God's power working within us. The goal isn't to be yourself but to become like Jesus, reflecting God's image to a world that needs to see Christ in us. Through intentional choices to take off old patterns and put on Christ-like qualities, we become living testimonies of God's transforming power.Grab the sermon notes here on the Bible app, read the summary on Pastor Matt's blog, or watch the full worship service via YouTube.
