    You’re invited!... to Put on Christ with Joshua Liem

    You’re invited!... to Put on Christ with Joshua Liem Ephesians 4:17-5:14 Paul calls the Ephesian church to “put off the old self and put on the new,” instructing believers to stand out in a culture shaped by greed, lust, and anger. What might it look like to live as children of light in Vancouver — a city that prizes comfort, freedom, and success? Join us as we explore a gospel-shaped life that doesn’t blend in but shines with love. -- For reflection & discussion: If you are a first or second-generation immigrant to Vancouver, what were some cultural clashes that you or your parents had with each other or other people in this city?  (Examples: timeliness, food, expectations around manners, funny moments around cultural taboos, Indigenous relations, individualism/self-determination/freedom vs collectivism) Pick one of the three to go into deep discussion with: sex, greed, or anger. (You can also break up into smaller groups of 2-4 to discuss one each) What is your understanding of the Christian sexual, economic, or relational/justice ethic?  Contrast it with what you believe is Vancouver’s underlying ethic.  How is it the same? How is it different?  Did anything from the sermon stand out or affirm your understanding of a Christian ethic? How do you see sexuality, greed, or anger expressed in our culture? How do you hope these would be expressed differently within the church? Who / what has been influential in your understanding of Christian sexual/economic/justice ethics? What voices have shaped your views, for better or for worse? What would you recommend for further understanding or practices? Is there an area that we can walk and pray together in for better encouragement and accountability?
