Most people assume spiritual growth just happens over time. But the truth is, everyone is being spiritually formed by something — our families, habits, culture, and desires are shaping who we’re becoming. In Ephesians 4, Paul draws a bold line between the “old self,” shaped by sin and self-reliance, and the “new self,” shaped by the Spirit. You can’t keep wearing your old clothes and expect a new life to fit. Transformation doesn’t begin with trying harder; it begins with responding to the invitations of the Holy Spirit, who makes us new from the inside out.
Tune in as guest preacher Matt Berg unpacks what it means to “put on the new self,” created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24). Discover how daily practices like confession, forgiveness, and community open us to the Spirit’s renewing work — not just to manage sin, but to reflect Christ’s compassion, truth, and love for the sake of others.
