Ephesians 5:1,7 -Walking In Love- Pastor Rick Beaudry 2026-03-22

Pastor Rick Beaudry exposits Ephesians 5:1–7, urging us to be followers of God who imitate Christ and “walk in love” as he loved us, offering ourselves as living sacrifices. He contrasts children of light with children of darkness, calling believers to holiness (rejecting fornication, uncleanness, covetousness, filthiness, foolish talk and jesting) and to a life marked by forgiveness, obedience and gratitude. Through personal testimony (including his conversion and marriage to Kathy) and pastoral examples (prayers and care for James, Linda and Sally), he illustrates sacrificial love, contentment, generosity and genuine repentance. He warns against cultural deception, challenges superficial professions of faith, and issues a sober call to examine our hearts and respond to Christ.
