Several months ago, we were blessed to have Dr Mel Blackaby come to serve as Pastor of First Baptist Church of Jonesboro. As part of the Blackaby family, I knew we were in for some insightful Bible teaching, but it didn't take long to figure out that his messages had profound meaning that my friends in the 'blog world' might benefit from too. For that purpose, and a desire of my own to have all my notes in one place, I decided to start a new blog that contained these messages. There will also be a few things from other speakers that I've heard over time, but those will be noted on the sidebar as they are added. I hope you get as much from these messages as I do!

Walking Worthy of His Call

Ephesians 4:1-3 - 'As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.  Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.  Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.'

1.  Christian living always begins with a transformed heart
         addressing our relationship with other people
         church = people in relationship with God & God's people

     Difficult people create an opportunity for you to display the love of God and prove you are His
         child

     "Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude." ~ MLK, Jr


2.  Chrisian living always builds up the Body of Christ


To walk worthy of His calling is to walk together, not only for what you receive, but what you give to others.
