Relational Beauty | Ephesians 4:1-6

When the gospel came to Ephesus in the first century AD, a riot broke out. The good news of Jesus upended pagan ways of thinking and living. A similar confrontation awaits us as we encounter Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This glorious epistle challenges us to ponder the story we're living in, the purpose we're pursuing, and the relationships we're building along the way. In this series, we see how gospel doctrine ignites renewal and love as we get swept up in God’s purpose to unite and fill all things in Jesus Christ.

The church must be a place of relational beauty and that requires something of you. While healthy doctrine is of vital importance, our doctrine must inform and transform the way we relate to one another. Starting in Ephesians 4, Paul takes the beauty of gospel doctrine and begins to apply it to the ways Christians are meant to practically live out the beauty of the gospel. In this sermon we explore the call to be a people who embody relational beauty and why that matters.
