New Life Wardrobe: Shedding Old Habits for a Fresh Start
Episode Overview
Embrace new life by shedding old habits like bitterness and lust. Live daily in the identity Christ has given you. Spiritual gifts are for serving others, not self-interest. Unity in the church doesn't mean uniformity. Personal responsibility is key in living a transformed life.
You can't walk in freedom while wearing the old life.
Ever feel like you're wearing the wrong clothes for the life you want to live? Pastor Aaron Shaw's latest message in the 'Made New' series, part of Cedar Point Recovery, takes a deep dive into Ephesians 4:17-32. It's all about shedding those old habits and embracing the new life that Jesus offers. Pastor Aaron isn't shy about calling out the tough stuff—bitterness, lust, deception, and shame—and replacing them with truth, righteousness, forgiveness, and love.
It's not just a one-time event; it's a daily choice to live in the identity Christ has given you. The episode is packed with real talk and humour, making it relatable even if you've never picked up a Bible. Aaron challenges everyone to 'put on' their new nature, emphasising personal responsibility in faith. It's about living like you've been chosen, rescued, and empowered, and letting your life reflect that to others.
Imagine walking around in a new wardrobe that fits perfectly—because that's what living in Christ is like. Aaron also tackles the idea of unity within the church, reminding us that spiritual gifts are meant to serve others, not ourselves. And while unity doesn't mean uniformity, it does mean working together as one body. This episode will make you laugh, think, and maybe even squirm a bit as you consider what old patterns you might still be clinging to.
So why tune in? If you're ready to stop wearing the old life and start living the new one, this episode offers practical steps and encouragement to help you do just that. It's a call to action—one that might just change your life.
