Vocation (Walking Worthy): Ephesians 4:1-6
How might you integrate your love for God and for the people around you into your everyday life? What does obedience to Jesus look like in every role or mundane activity from washing dishes in our home, writing reports in the office or helping a child with homework in the evening? Ephesians 4:1-6 challenges us to consider our vocation. What does it mean to live a life, in word or deed; that reflects our new identity in Jesus Christ?

Respond together:
Abraham, Mary, and Jesus provide examples of people who have walked in obedience with God’s call. How might my various roles and relationships transform if I consciously walked in a manner worthy of the calling I have received?
How might you reimagine your responses to conflict if you were marked by humility and gentleness?
Unity in Christ comes from a diversity of people becoming one body. Douglas Moo writes “the emphasis on unity does not mean unity at any cost. Unity is not the goal; unity in Christ is.” Unity in Christ comes from a shared faith and knowledge of Jesus. What would communities look like if we took seriously the call to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace?
