Put on the New Clothes & Burn the Old Ones! - Part 2

This week, Matt Geib continues the final section of Ephesians 4 with part 2 of his message – Put on the New Clothes and Burn the Old Ones.

 

[00:02:30] Matt notes how many of Paul’s issues addressed in the end of Ephesians 4 is negative – he mentions that, like our tendency to gravitate toward our old, tattered clothes, we must constantly be aware of and resist the temptation to put on our old nature that embraces these things.

[00:05:00] In Ephesians 4:28, Matt asks, “Do Christians steal?” He references the guilds of thieves that many Ephesian Christians were formerly associated with.

[00:08:45] Matt tells us about God’s dealing with his own heart regarding Tithes and Offerings and how he felt convicted that his lack of generosity and joy in his giving was equivalent to stealing.

[00:12:00] Matt references his book, a devotional based on Ecclesiastes, that unpacks God’s call to stewardship and generosity.

[00:17:10] Matt warns that, from the abundance of our hearts, we speak. We must be watchful and cautious not to “curse” those around us – including those we love.

[00:19:20] The word “edification” is used. Matt explains that this word conjures the idea of building, promoting, and uplifting.

[00:21:22] Cross-referencing Hebrews 12:15, Matt warns about bitterness and how toxic it can be to the hearts and lives of believers.

[00:24:37] Verse 32 sums up the whole message of this chapter and Matt’s message – “Be kind to one another, and forgive even as Christ forgave you.”
