Ephesians 4:29-32 / Today we look at corrupt communication and how
destructive it can be when the Spirit of God doesn’t have control over our
words. In Ephesians 4, we learn that God has enabled us to put on the new
man, and learn to speak words that edify rather than tear down. We also
discover that despite our tendency to walk in sin, God has committed
himself to us by the sealing of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:27-28 /Knowing who we are also means knowing who we aren’t. In
Ephesians 4, we are instructed to put away the old and childish ways of our
past and to put on the new man, the character and behavior of a victorious
child of God. In this sermon, we look at the role the devil plays in
tempting our old man and then we consider what it means to embrace our
identity as a laborer and provider.

Ephesians 4:25-26 / For Christians, we have a past that is constantly
trying to reassert itself within our new life; an old man that is
threatening our new identity. This week we discuss the old man traits of
lying and wrathful responses. We look at what scripture says about
controlling our emotions and grounding our minds and speech in truth.

Inspirationally, in Proverbs 16:6, Solomon keeps us in remembrance of how
we were eternally cleansed of sin, and wisdom on how to grow in personal
sanctification
