Changing Your Wardrobe: Living the New Life in Christ

The battle for your life is often fought in the mirror. In Week 10 of our Battlegrounds series, we dive into Ephesians 4:17-32. Paul gives us a practical guide for spiritual warfare that looks less like a sword fight and more like a wardrobe change: we are called to "Put Off" the old self and "Put On" the new. Being in Christ isn't just about a change in destination; it’s about a change in nature. Paul challenges us to stop living like the world—darkened in understanding and calloused in heart—and to start living out the "New Humanity" that has been created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. In this message, we explore:• The Calloused Heart: Understanding how the "ways of the world" gradually numb our hearts to the voice of the Holy Spirit.• The Wardrobe Change: A deep dive into the "Put Off/Put On" dynamic. We don’t just stop sinning; we replace it with God-honoring habits.• Truth, Anger, and the Devil: Why unresolved anger is an open invitation (a "foothold") for the enemy to set up camp in your life.• The Power of Words: Learning to move from "unwholesome talk" to words that build others up according to their needs.• Grieving the Spirit: How our bitterness, rage, and malice affect our relationship with the Holy Spirit who sealed us for the day of redemption. The Battleground of the Everyday: The enemy wins when we act like we are still dead in our sins. Victory is found in the daily discipline of kindness, compassion, and forgiveness—just as in Christ, God forgave you. Challenge: What "old clothes" are you still wearing? It’s time to take off the bitterness and put on the kindness of Jesus. Join us as we learn to walk in a way that makes the "Manifold Wisdom of God" visible to everyone around us.

Cruise Ship or Battleship? The Call to Spiritual Maturity

Are you a passenger or part of the crew? In Week 9 of our Battlegrounds series, Pastor Jason dives into Ephesians 4:7-16 to challenge our modern definition of "church." Too often, we treat the local church like a cruise ship—an institution designed to entertain us and cater to our preferences. But Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reveals a radically different vision: the Church is a battleship and a hospital ship where everyone has a role. In this message, we unpack:• Grace as Empowerment: Discover how the same grace that saves you also "apportions" unique gifts to every single believer for the work of service .• The Five-Fold Gifts: Understanding the roles of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers—not as titles of prestige, but as tools for equipping the body.• The Maturity Metric: Why reading your Bible and attending church are signs of life, not necessarily maturity. Learn the difference between spiritual infancy and "attaining to the whole measure of Christ".• Rescue Crew Identity: How Jesus’ ascension means we have been recruited into a divine rescue mission to bring hope to a wounded world .• The "Y'all" Factor: Why the church only grows and builds itself up in love when each part—including you—does its specific work. The Battleground of Maturity: The Enemy loves a passive, consuming church because it’s easily divided and tossed by cultural waves. True spiritual warfare involves the discipline of deciding toward maturity and moving from being a "consumer" to a "contributor". Challenge: Are you ready to move from spectator to servant? Join us as we explore what it means to be a healthy, vibrant, and mature church that reflects the heart of King Jesus to North Iowa and beyond.

The Power of "Therefore": Walking Worthy of Your Calling

In Week 8 of our Battlegrounds series, we welcome Pastor Drew Shepp to unpack the massive shift that happens in Ephesians 4. Up until now, Paul has been telling us who we are; now, he begins to show us how to live. It all hinges on one word: Therefore. Because you are chosen, adopted, and redeemed, how does that change the way you walk into your office, your school, or your neighborhood tomorrow morning? Pastor Drew explores the difference between "gifting" and "calling," and why God is often more interested in who you are becoming than where you are going. In this message, we unpack:• The "Therefore" Bridge: Why we can't understand the instructions of Ephesians 4 without first grounding ourselves in the grace of Ephesians 1-3.• Gifting vs. Calling: Reclaiming the truth that your "calling" isn't just a career or a talent—it’s the way you carry the light of Christ into every room you enter.• God’s Scorecard: Why humility, gentleness, and patience are the true marks of success in the Kingdom of God.• Unity vs. Conformity: A deep dive into why the Church shouldn't look like a group of clones, but a miracle of diverse people aligned in the same direction.• The Bond of Peace: How the peace we received from Jesus in Ephesians 2 becomes the "glue" that holds the Church together today. The Battleground of the Walk: The enemy wants to distract you with the destination so you disregard the process. Discover how to "walk worthy" by prioritizing the "who" over the "what" and fighting from a victory that has already been won. Challenge: What is the "wall" in your heart that keeps you from unity with your brothers and sisters? Join us as we surrender our agendas and step into the "One Body" God is building.
