Walk Worthy of the Calling | Grass Lake Assembly of God

Main Idea

A worthy walk makes the gospel visible in community.

Pastor Jeff opened Ephesians 4 by pointing to Paul as a prisoner of the Lord who implores the church to walk worthy of its calling. The message connected doctrine to daily relationships: the calling must show up in how believers live together.

The sermon emphasized humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another in love, and preserving the unity of the Spirit. It also looked at patterns in Acts and the church's shared life as evidence that gospel calling is communal.
