The Power of "Therefore": Walking Worthy of Your Calling

In Week 8 of our Battlegrounds series, we welcome Pastor Drew Shepp to unpack the massive shift that happens in Ephesians 4. Up until now, Paul has been telling us who we are; now, he begins to show us how to live. It all hinges on one word: Therefore. Because you are chosen, adopted, and redeemed, how does that change the way you walk into your office, your school, or your neighborhood tomorrow morning? Pastor Drew explores the difference between "gifting" and "calling," and why God is often more interested in who you are becoming than where you are going. In this message, we unpack: • The "Therefore" Bridge: Why we can't understand the instructions of Ephesians 4 without first grounding ourselves in the grace of Ephesians 1-3. • Gifting vs. Calling: Reclaiming the truth that your "calling" isn't just a career or a talent—it’s the way you carry the light of Christ into every room you enter. • God’s Scorecard: Why humility, gentleness, and patience are the true marks of success in the Kingdom of God. • Unity vs. Conformity: A deep dive into why the Church shouldn't look like a group of clones, but a miracle of diverse people aligned in the same direction. • The Bond of Peace: How the peace we received from Jesus in Ephesians 2 becomes the "glue" that holds the Church together today. The Battleground of the Walk: The enemy wants to distract you with the destination so you disregard the process. Discover how to "walk worthy" by prioritizing the "who" over the "what" and fighting from a victory that has already been won. Challenge: What is the "wall" in your heart that keeps you from unity with your brothers and sisters? Join us as we surrender our agendas and step into the "One Body" God is building.
