Walk Worthy

In this Sunday morning sermon, Pastor Brad Hainje explores the biblical concept of how to "walk worthy" of the Lord and the calling of the Gospel. Drawing from Paul's epistles, he outlines six practical expectations for functioning as a healthy member of the body of Christ.

Key Themes & Scripture Foundations:

- The Call to Walk Worthy: Three specific passages where Paul instructs believers to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord (Colossians 1:10), the calling (Ephesians 4:1), and the Gospel (Philippians 1:27).

- Unity in the Body: Emphasizing Ephesians 4, walking worthy is inherently tied to maintaining the unity of the Spirit and being actively connected to the local church body.

The Six Expectations of a Functioning Christian:

- I am a Believer: Rooted in the Romans Road, understanding that salvation is by grace through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

- I am a Disciple: Marked by total surrender, abiding in God's word, and bearing fruit.

- I am a Servant: Imitating Jesus by choosing to serve others rather than seeking to be served.

- I am a Witness: Actively sharing the Gospel and making disciples, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

- I am a Praying Member: Fostering a continuous, dependent relationship with the Father through prayer.

- I am a Committed Member: Recognizing that spiritual growth happens in community and fulfilling the "one another" commandments.
