Introduction

Welcome to St Mark’s United Methodist Church, where we strive to deepen our understanding of our faith and grow together as a community. In this sermon series on Ephesians 5:3-7, we will explore the teachings of the Apostle Paul and delve into the significance of living a righteous life.

Living a Life of Righteousness

Living a life of righteousness is a fundamental aspect of our faith. In Ephesians 5:3-7, Paul emphasizes the importance of abstaining from immorality, impurity, and greed. By doing so, we can align ourselves with God's teachings and experience the transformative power of His love.

The Path of Righteous Living

In this sermon series, we will closely examine each verse of Ephesians 5:3-7 to gain a deeper understanding of the path of righteous living that Paul outlines.

Verse 3 - Abstaining from Immorality

Paul advises us to reject all forms of immorality, including sexual immorality, impurity, and greed. As followers of Christ, it is crucial for us to uphold moral integrity and honor God in our thoughts, words, and actions.

Verse 4 - Let There Be No Filthiness

In this verse, Paul emphasizes the importance of guarding our tongues and refraining from using vulgar or inappropriate language. Our words have tremendous power, and by speaking with kindness, love, and respect, we reflect God's nature.

Verse 5 - Avoiding Idolatry

Idolatry can take many forms in today's world. It can manifest as an excessive love for material possessions, technology, or even fame. Paul urges us to steer clear of idolatrous practices and redirect our focus towards worshiping the one true God.

Verse 6 - Let No One Deceive You

Deception can be prevalent in our society, leading people astray and causing them to deviate from the path of righteousness. In this verse, Paul reminds us to stay vigilant, rooted in the Word of God, and not be swayed by false teachings or manipulative tactics.

Verse 7 - Be Imitators of God

As children of God, we are called to imitate Him and reflect His image in our daily lives. By cultivating qualities such as love, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion, we embody the light of Christ and become beacons of hope in our communities.
