In Week 5 of our Made New series, we dove into Ephesians 4:17–32 with a hard but freeing truth: you can’t live in freedom while still wearing what you were saved from. Recovery isn’t just about letting go of the old—it’s about fully embracing the new life Jesus offers. We explored what it means to take off old patterns like bitterness, lust, deception, and shame, and instead put on truth, righteousness, forgiveness, and love. This transformation isn’t a one-time moment—it’s a daily decision to walk in the identity Christ gave us. God didn’t set us free so we could stay stuck. He set us free so we could finally live. The old doesn’t fit you anymore—so take it off, and walk boldly into the new you.

🔥 You’ve been made new—so stop dressing like the old you.

Freedom isn’t just about what you leave behind—it’s about who you become in Christ.

This week’s message, “Living the New Life” from Ephesians 4:17–32, calls us to take off the lies, the shame, the habits that don’t fit anymore—and put on the new identity Jesus died to give us.

This isn’t behavior modification. It’s transformation.

👕 What are you still wearing that doesn’t belong to the new you?

True transformation doesn’t come from grinding harder or trying to fix ourselves from the outside in—it comes from the power of the Holy Spirit working in our inner being. Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 reveals that God’s strength is available not when we’re performing, but when we’re surrendering. Freedom begins when we stop relying on willpower and start depending on Spirit power. Jesus doesn’t want a weekend visit to our lives—He wants to move in and bring healing to the places we’ve hidden. And our recovery isn’t rooted in fear or performance—it’s anchored in the unshakable love of God.

You don’t need more willpower—you need more surrender. The real battle isn’t out there—it’s in here. And the good news? You’re not alone in it. God offers you supernatural strength through His Spirit to fight what flesh never could. 🛑 Stop striving. 🔓 Let Him in. 🔥 Get free from the inside out.

In Breaking Down the Walls, we confront the hard truth that even though we’ve been chosen by God and raised from spiritual death, many of us are still living isolated—walled off from God, from others, and from the freedom we’ve been given. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2 that Jesus didn’t just tear the curtain that separated us from God—He tore down every dividing wall, including the ones we build out of shame, resentment, and fear. This message challenges us to stop living like strangers in God’s house and start stepping into the belonging Jesus died to give us. The walls are already down—now it’s time to stop building fences and live like family.

Jesus didn’t just tear the curtain—He tore down every wall that kept you out. Isolation ends at the cross. You don’t have to stand outside anymore. You belong here.
