We are called to submit to Christ and one another. In Ephesians 5:22-6:9, Paul explains how that looks with specific case studies and examples.

The content of our character should be like Christ as individuals who belong to a community of believers.  My life needs to be lived like light and wisdom because I am submitted to my Lord Jesus Christ and my family of faith.  When one of us is not walking in the light the shadow is cast on all of us.

Called to walk in a manner worthy of our calling in Christ Jesus means walking in the conduct of our character and the community of faith in a way that looks, lives, and loves like Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul challenges us to walk worthy of Christ in our character and in our unity.

There seem to be two competing rhythms in the Bible about retreat and rest and engagement in the ministry to which God calls us. Which one should we listen to more?

Here we explore how Paul links his metaphors of walking and what he means as he builds them together to create a full picture of the life to which we are called as Christians.

God wants his Church to be one family of faith, one body of Christ in the world, one Church through whom the world sees Christ our Lord.
