What does it really look like to live out your faith every day?

In this episode, we continue our journey through Ephesians as we explore Paul’s challenge to imitate God in every area of life. Rather than living from guilt, believers are called to live from their identity as God’s beloved children—following the example of Jesus, whose love was demonstrated through sacrifice.

Together, we unpack three defining characteristics of the Christian life: walking in love, walking in holiness, and walking in wisdom. Along the way, we discuss how our identity in Christ shapes our behavior, why bringing hidden struggles into the light leads to freedom, and what it means to be led by the Holy Spirit rather than by our impulses, desires, or culture.

Through personal stories, practical examples, and biblical insight, this conversation explores topics such as sacrificial love, spiritual awakening, repentance, gratitude, temptation, and the importance of making the most of every opportunity God gives us. You'll also hear how wisdom goes beyond simply avoiding sin and instead calls us to pursue what honors God and helps others flourish.

Whether you're feeling spiritually stuck, wrestling with areas of compromise, or simply seeking to grow in your faith, this message offers encouragement and practical challenges for taking your next step with Jesus. www.movementcolumbus.com

What should change when someone begins following Jesus?

In this message from Ephesians 4:17-32, we explore the difference between simply claiming change and actually living differently. The Apostle Paul challenges believers to leave behind their old way of life and fully embrace the new identity they’ve been given in Christ. Christianity isn’t about behavior modification or trying harder—it’s about transformation from the inside out.

Through practical examples, Paul shows how the gospel impacts everyday life: replacing lies with truth, anger with peace, selfishness with generosity, and destructive words with encouragement. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to stop wearing the “old jersey” of our former life and start reflecting the character of Christ in the way we think, speak, and treat others.

We’ll also discover what it means to grieve the Holy Spirit, why forgiveness is central to the Christian life, and how God’s grace becomes the model for our relationships with others.

If you’ve ever struggled to let go of old habits, old patterns, or old versions of yourself, this message offers both a challenge and a hope-filled reminder: because Jesus has made us new, we can live differently. Take off the old life, put on the new life, and let the world see Jesus in the way you live. www.movementcolumbus.com

This message walks through the turning point in the book of Ephesians, where the Apostle Paul moves from explaining our identity in Christ to showing how that identity should shape the way we live. Teaching from Ephesians 4:1–16, the sermon challenges believers to “live a life worthy of their calling” through humility, unity, maturity, and faithful obedience to Jesus as King.

The message explores how followers of Jesus are called to protect unity within the church, use their God-given gifts to strengthen the body of Christ, and stand firm against cultural deception and “clever lies” that distort truth. Through vivid historical context from Paul’s imprisonment, practical application for everyday life, and powerful imagery of Christ as the victorious King, listeners are reminded that the church is not built on personal preference but on submission to Jesus and participation in His mission.

This teaching also unpacks the importance of speaking truth in love, spiritual maturity, and embracing the unique role God has given each believer within the church. Ultimately, it’s a call to stop treating faith like a hobby and instead fully step into the life, purpose, and eternal impact God has designed for His people. www.movementcolumbus.com

This week in Ephesians 3:14–21, we explore Paul’s prayer for believers to be strengthened by God from the inside out. This message reminds us that the Christian life is not sustained by willpower or performance, but by the power and presence of God working within us.

Through powerful illustrations and practical application, we’ll discover how God roots us deeply in His love, strengthens us through His Spirit, and works beyond what we can imagine for His glory.

Big Idea: God strengthens us with His love, so we can live full of His presence and display His glory. www.movementcolumbus.com

In this week’s message from the book of Ephesians, we walk through Ephesians 3:1–13 and explore one central truth: grace changes everything. Paul writes from prison, yet instead of seeing chains and setbacks, he sees purpose. Through powerful stories, practical challenges, and a deep look at the gospel, this message unpacks how God’s grace doesn’t just forgive us — it includes us, sends us, and displays God through us.

You’ll be reminded that no one is a second-class citizen in God’s family, that grace was never meant to stop with us, and that the church plays a central role in God’s plan for the world. Whether you’ve struggled to believe you belong, wrestled with fear in sharing your faith, or wondered if your life really matters in God’s mission, this message offers encouragement and a fresh perspective on the amazing grace of Jesus. www.movementcolumbus.com

This week’s message in Ephesians 2:11–22 tackles something deeply personal and incredibly relevant: the walls we live with—and the ones Jesus came to destroy.

We start by looking at who we were before Christ—distant from God, disconnected from others, and on the outside looking in. Paul paints a clear picture of separation, reminding us that apart from Jesus, we were without hope and without belonging.

But then comes the turning point: “But now…”

Because of Jesus, everything changes.

Through His sacrifice, the distance between us and God is gone—and so is the division between people. Jesus didn’t just make peace possible; He is our peace. He tore down every wall of hostility and created something brand new: one unified family.

This message doesn’t stop at what Jesus did—it presses into what that means for us now. We’re no longer outsiders or spectators. We are citizens, family members, and part of something God is actively building—a living, spiritual temple where His presence dwells.

But here’s the challenge: even though Jesus tore down the walls, we often rebuild them.

Sometimes in our own hearts through guilt and shame.

Sometimes toward others through unforgiveness.

Sometimes through preferences, differences, or convenience.

This episode invites you to take an honest look at the walls in your life—and step toward the kind of unity Jesus died to create.

Because the gospel doesn’t just save individuals… it forms a family.

And in Jesus, you don’t just belong to God—you belong with His people. www.movementcolumbus.com

This week, we continue through Ephesians, stepping into one of the clearest and most powerful explanations of the gospel in all of Scripture. In this message centered on Ephesians 2:1-10, we’re confronted with a sobering truth—apart from Jesus, we aren’t just struggling… we’re spiritually dead.

But the story doesn’t end there.

Right in the middle of our brokenness comes two of the most hope-filled words in the Bible: “But God…”

This message walks through the tension of our reality—caught in sin, shaped by the world, the flesh, and the devil—and then reveals the overwhelming grace of God who steps in, not because of anything we’ve done, but purely out of His mercy and love.

You’ll hear how salvation isn’t something we achieve—it’s a gift we receive. And more than that, you’ll discover what it means to be made new: not just forgiven, but recreated with purpose. We are God’s masterpiece, invited to step into a life of meaning and good works—not to earn His love, but because we already have it.

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or need a fresh reminder of what Jesus has done, this message invites you to move from death to life—and to live in the freedom of grace, not performance. www.movementcolumbus.com

What does it actually look like to live out your identity in Jesus—day by day?

In this message from Ephesians 1:15–23, we move from who we are in Christ to how we live because of it. Paul’s prayer becomes our roadmap: a step-by-step invitation into a faith that’s real, visible, and transformative. You’ll be challenged to examine whether your faith is active and expressed through love, not just belief—and to pursue a deeper, more personal knowledge of God that goes beyond information into intimacy.

This teaching also reframes how you see your future and your worth, reminding you of the hope you’ve been given, the value God places on you, and the reality that His power isn’t distant—it’s already at work in your life. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to you right now.

If you’ve ever wondered “what’s next?” after placing your faith in Jesus, this message gives you clear, practical steps to move forward with confidence, purpose, and dependence on God. www.movementcolumbus.com

On Easter at Movement Church, we look at John 20:1–18 and the moment everything changed. Through Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Jesus, this message explores how hope breaks into our grief, confusion, and disappointment—and how everything changes when Jesus calls your name.

From the sorrow of the empty tomb to the personal power of resurrection, this sermon invites you to see Easter not just as an event in history, but as a personal invitation to new life in Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether hope can meet you in the middle of loss, this message is for you. www.movementcolumbus.com
