From April 12, 2026 Sermon – Ephesians 4:25 – 5:2

1) The sermon mentioned several things the passage says “no” and “yes” to.  They are listed below.  Which feels the most difficult to you?  Why do think that is so problematic in your life?

     – “No” to falsehood and “Yes” to the Truth (25)
     – “No” to false-justice and “Yes” to reconciliation (26-27)
     – “No” to selfish taking and “Yes” to giving to others (28)
     – “No” to words that tear down and “Yes” to words that build up (29-30)
     – “No” to sinful motivations and “Yes” to soft, forgiving hearts (31-32)

2) We sometimes think actions aren’t authentic unless we “feel it” first in our hearts.  How might discipline and practice (even if we don’t “feel it”) impact our feelings?

3) Is change actually possible?  Why or why not?  What specific steps would you need to take this week?
