Ephesians 5:1-21
Oct 25, 2026 • Rex Allchurch
Are you living as a beloved child of God, or are you still trying to earn your place in the Father's house?
In Ephesians 5, Paul calls believers to imitate God, walk in love, live as children of light, and be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. But these aren't instructions for earning God's approval. They're an invitation to live out the identity we've already been given in Christ.
Drawing on the story of the prodigal son, we explore the difference between living as a son and living with the mentality of a servant, and how easily Christianity can become a life of religious performance rather than a response to grace.
What does holiness actually look like? How do we shine as lights in a dark world? And what does it really mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
This message challenges us to stop living for acceptance and start living from it, allowing the love of the Father to transform the way we live, love, worship, and relate to one another.
