Walking Worthy

In this powerful message from Ephesians 4:1-16, Pastor Greg explores what it means to "walk worthy" of our calling as believers in Jesus Christ. Building on the magnificent doctrinal truths of the first three chapters of Ephesians, this sermon shifts from position to practice, showing how our behavior must flow from our beliefs. You'll discover the specific character qualities essential for church unity, understand the seven foundational "ones" that form the basis of our common faith, and learn why maintaining the unity of the Spirit requires both intentional effort and supernatural grace.

The message then unpacks the genius of God's design for the church—accomplishing unity without requiring uniformity through the distribution of diverse spiritual gifts. Pastor Greg explains the roles of apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers, showing how these gifted leaders exist not to do all the ministry but to equip every believer for the work of service. You'll learn the three-fold purpose and four-fold goal that drives all authentic ministry, understanding how the body builds itself up when each member functions properly.

Finally, this sermon addresses the critical issue of spiritual maturity, contrasting the instability of spiritual children with the discernment of mature believers who speak truth in love and grow up into Christ, our head. Whether you're struggling with disunity in relationships, uncertain about your spiritual gifts, or frustrated by lack of growth in your Christian walk, this message provides both biblical clarity and practical direction. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that all unity, diversity, and maturity flow from the finished work of Christ, who descended to rescue us and ascended to equip us for His glory.
