Ephesians, Chapter 4: Learn The King // Forrest Jenan

There’s a frustrating gap between what we believe, what we intend to do, and what we actually do. We know we should sleep more, text less in anger, and let things go — and we keep doing the opposite anyway.

In Chapter 4 of Ephesians, we move from Paul’s big, cosmic language about what God is doing through Jesus to street level: what does it actually look like when Jesus starts changing how you react, speak, and treat people?

In This Teaching

• Why knowing better rarely translates into doing better
• What it means to “put off” old patterns like old, comfortable clothes
• The difference between learning facts about Jesus and learning Jesus himself
• How the stories we tell ourselves shape our reactions before we realize it
• Why truth alone isn’t Paul’s standard for what we say
• The shift from reactivity to grace in how we handle conflict and forgiveness
