About this listen
In this sermon, we explore Paul’s call in Ephesians 5 to live wisely, redeem the time, and understand the will of the Lord. As Christians grow in maturity, the life of faith often becomes harder, not easier. Discernment becomes essential for navigating suffering, cultural pressure, personal failure, and the tension between what feels right and what is truly righteous.
This message examines how God’s vision for our lives is not the elimination of difficulty, but the redemption of it. We are invited into a lifelong process of spiritual formation where character matters more than comfort, faithfulness matters more than success, and love and holiness walk together.
Through Scripture, pastoral reflection, and practical wisdom, this sermon addresses:
• Why spiritual growth requires intentionality
• How to discern God’s redemptive purpose rather than just circumstantial relief
• The difference between worldly wisdom and spiritual wisdom
• Why Christians are called to redeem the time in an evil age
• How forgiveness, holiness, and love reveal God’s wisdom through the church
This message is grounded in Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, and the broader story of God’s transforming work in His people through Jesus Christ.
Whether you are entering a new season, facing unresolved pain, wrestling with failure, or seeking clarity for the future, this sermon invites you to slow down, think deeply, and live intentionally within God’s redemptive purposes.
