4 Celebrity Nano-Impressions with Ross Marquand

5 We are called to imitate God by walking in love and light. KEY TRUTH

6 Ephesians 5: Walk in Love Eph. 5: Walk in Light Eph. 5:3-14

7 Walk in Love Ephesians 5:1-2

8 5 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Ephesians 5:1

9 Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. John 14:9

10 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2

11

12 "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to be sure of keeping your heart intact you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all entanglements

13 Lock it up safely in the casket of your selfishness. And in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will not change, it will not be broken. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable and irredeemable. The only place outside of heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the dangers of love is hell." C.S. Lewis

14 Only the Holy Spirit can enable us to love like God. TRUTH

15 God s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:5

16 TRAITS FROM OUR OLD SELF Futile Hard Heart Insensitivity Sensuality Impurity Thinking Deceitful Desires Falsehood Sinful Anger Stealing Unwholesome Talk Bitterness Rage Anger Brawling Slander Malice Sexual Immorality Greed Obscenity Foolish Talk Coarse Joking Foolishness Drunkenness Debauchery

17 God shows his love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

18 12 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. John 15:12-14

19 Walk In Light Ephesians 5:3-14

20 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6)

21 3 But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. 4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

22 5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Ephesians 5:3-6

23 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) Immorality & Impurity

24 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18

25 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) Immorality & Impurity Covetousness/Greed

26 17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 1 Timothy 6:17

27 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) Immorality & Impurity Covetousness/Greed Corrupt Speech

28 4 Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, Ephesians 5:4

29 but instead let there be thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:4

30 But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11

31 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10)

32 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) Don t Partner with Darkness

33 7 Therefore do not become partners with them; Ephesians 5:7

34 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) Don t Partner with Darkness Display the Light of the Lord

35 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Ephesians 5:8

36 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) Don t Partner with Darkness Display the Light of the Lord Do Good Bearing Fruit

37 Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), Ephesians 5:9

38 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

39 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) Don t Partner with Darkness Display the Light of the Lord Do Good Bearing Fruit Discern What Pleases God

40 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Ephesians 5:10

41 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) 3. Expose Darkness (11-14)

42 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) 3. Expose Darkness (11-14) Light exposes the sin of unbelievers

43 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, Ephesians 5:11-13

44 Paul s Exhortations 1. Exalt God Not Idols! (3-6) 2. Exhibit The Fruit of Light (7-10) 3. Expose Darkness (11-14) Light exposes the sin of unbelievers Light changes unbelievers into believers

45 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
