Pastor Maritza exhorts believers, from Ephesians 5:3–14, to live as holy children of light by rejecting even the slightest hint of sexual immorality, impurity, greed, and corrupt speech, allowing the Holy Spirit to eradicate sin so they do not forfeit their inheritance in Christ.

Pastor Eric's sermon calls Christians to live as “children of light” by rejecting all sexual immorality and greed, starving sinful appetites instead of feeding them, and lovingly helping others out of darkness so they can fully follow Jesus.

Drawing from Ephesians 5:3–14, Pastor Scott's sermon calls believers to reject all sexual immorality and greed, submit to Scripture as the unchanging standard, and walk as children of light in the freedom and purity Christ provides while lovingly inviting others out of darkness.

Pastor Scott teaches that we, as believers, are called to honor God by using pure, edifying speech, avoiding behaviors that grieve the Holy Spirit, and speaking in ways that build others up and reflect our identity in Christ. Flowing from the gospel, we must also walk in continual forgiveness, cancelling others’ debts just as God has fully forgiven and freed us through Jesus’ sacrificial death.

Pastor Maritza unpacks Ephesians 4:17–28, stressing that Paul’s letter calls believers to leave behind the futile, sinful patterns of the world and live out a truly “new life” in Christ, not just a patched‑up version of their old one. The preacher urges listeners to let God soften hardened hearts, take every thought captive, walk in integrity and honest work, and embrace visible transformation so their lives reflect Jesus to the world.

This Father's Day sermon uses a golf-ball illustration to teach that Christians are “set apart” and called to leave worldly ways behind, be renewed in their minds, and live out a new identity in Christ marked by integrity, self-control (especially over anger), and honest work. The pastor especially challenges parents—fathers in particular—to model Christlike living at home, guard their children from worldly ideologies, and rely on the Holy Spirit’s power to break patterns like unresolved anger.

This episode honors fathers and challenges men to reject worldly patterns—like deceit, laziness, lust, and uncontrolled anger—and instead “put on” the new life in Christ marked by integrity, service, holiness, and responsible work. Pastor Rodney concludes his message by inviting people to surrender their old lives to Jesus, be transformed by the Spirit, and live as godly examples for their families and the world.

In this episode, Andrew is joined by Pastor Scott and Kim to unpack Ephesians 4, showing that every believer is meant to keep growing spiritually—moving from “baby Christian” to maturity through daily time with God, Bible engagement, and learning to think biblically about life’s challenges. They also discuss the role of community and serving in the church, where gifted leaders equip believers so they won’t be deceived by false ideas but instead speak the truth in love and build one another up.

Pastor Scott teaches from Ephesians 4 that God gives grace and spiritual gifts to every believer and raises up leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) to equip the church so all can grow from spiritual infancy into mature Christlikeness.

Pastors Scott, Eric, and Maritza join Andrew for a closer look at Ephesians 4:1–6, sharing that all Christians—not just ministers—are called to live lives worthy of Jesus’ name by choosing humility, gentleness, and patience, especially in difficult relationships. They discuss how these traits grow through abiding in Christ and self-reflection and are essential for true unity in the church that visibly reflects Christ to the world.
