Summary

Do you have anything that you’ve taken with you from year to year and life stage to life stage? What about from 2021 to 2022…what have you brought with you from one year to the next? As we kick of a new calendar year, Scott Kedersha teaches us how Christians change and grow, teaching through Ephesians 4:17-24.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

-Stop walking like a non-believer.

-Where in your life are you living like a non-believer? Confess this to your life group and ask them to help you change.

-Do you know about Jesus, or do you know Jesus?

-Is your life marked by a trajectory that looks more and more like Jesus?

-Put off the old.

-Don’t just make small changes here and there. Completely forsake and repent from anything in your life that doesn’t look like Jesus.

-What do you need to put off: pride, greed, lust, grumbling, gossip, selfishness, something else?

-To be abundantly clear, putting off your old self isn’t about behavior management or modification. It’s not about earning God’s favor. It’s about responding to the truth of the gospel.

-Renew your mind.

-The way you think determines how you live.

-What do you feed your mind with?

-Put on the new.

-What do you need to put on: humility, generosity, self-control, gratitude, encouragement, service?
