Message: “SERVICE – Walk as Children of Light” from Zach Schlegel

Ephesians 5:3-14

Introduction

How much sin, would you say, is ok? You may have already answered that question without realizing it. As you walk the road of the Christian life, on one side there is the “holier than thou” ditch and on the other there is debauchery. We steer clear of both, but we do draw a line so we won’t be labeled as a “Jesus freak” by the world.

Does knowing God has freely bestowed His grace upon us lead to moral carelessness? Does it lead to a watered down standard of holiness? Or do we trade in God’s grace for legalism, hammering God’s law down people’s throats?

It can be very hard to know how to relate to the world. We don’t want isolate ourselves and only hang out with Christians. We also don’t want to become like the world and lose our saltiness or light to the world. How do we as Christians relate to the world?
