Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-4 and Ephesians 4:17-24
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the
calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness,
with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to
keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and
one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord,
one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all.

…17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no
longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of
God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of
their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to
lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But you have not
so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught
by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your
former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the
deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that
you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true
righteousness and holiness.


Three Questions:

1. We quote this scripture all the time regarding walking worthy of the
calling. Paul says here in his letter to the Ephesians, ‘I beseech you’ or I
beg you to walk worthy of the calling. What does it mean to walk worthy
of the calling as Coach? Father? Christian? Teacher? 

2. Paul then says, ‘endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit and the bond
of peace.’ Define endeavoring, unity, and peace. How important is unity
and peace for this team? For your home? For your church? Discuss.

​3. Reading verses 17-24 of Ephesians Chapter 4, what is the message?
What does it mean to you that you are a child of God, that you have been
purchased by the blood of Jesus, sins forgiven, set free, now being sent
out in the world of coaching to walk worthy?
