Missionary
Is there a need?
Do you have a personal Missionary?
Capuli’s have to raise their own support.
They depend on monthly supporters to continue their ministry
Their ministry to children 4 to 14 years is doing extremely well
Their personal living support is not doing well
They continue to concentrate on the ministry instead of self
Solution: Consider having them as your personal missional with monthly support

15. Review of last week Ephesians 4:22-24
“…that in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.”

16. Ephesians 4:25: speak truth
Therefore
Laying aside falsehood
SPEAK TRUTH, each one with his neighbor
For we are members of one another

17. Ephesians 4:26: Be Angry but don’t sin
Be angry, and yet
Do not sin
Do not let the sun go down on your anger
Do not give the devil an opportunity

18. Table talk
Do you find yourself more fear-prone or anger prone? How have you handled those tendencies?
Who in the Bible had the same problem and how did it work for or against them?

19. Ephesians 4:28: steal no longer
Let him who steals (pilfers)
Steal no longer
Rather let him labor (physical or mental exertion)
Performing with his own hands what is good
In order that he may have something to share with him who has need ( I Thess. 5:14: “And we urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all men.”

20. Eph. 4:29: no unwholesome word
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth
But only such a word as is good for
Edification (improvement of a person morally or intellectually)
according to the need of the moment
That it may give grace to those who hear
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

21. Eph. 4:31-32: relational harm vs. harmony
Let ALL be put away vs Being kind to each other
Bitterness ─ tender-hearted
Wrath ─ forgiving
Anger
Clamor
Slander
Just as God in Christ also has forgiven you

22. Table talk
Notice that God hasn’t had much to say yet to the Ephesians about sexual sins but He has a lot to say about social sins (relational and interpersonal problems). Why do you think this is? Could you tell of a time when you have carefully chosen your words to bless others or to ‘give them grace’? How did it go?

23. Concluding song and remarks
–Danny Gokey
Summary of God’s will toward:
Lying or telling the truth
Stealing or ‘earning’ your keep and sharing with the needy
Handling anger or hosting an unwelcome guest
Word pollution or Holy Spirit restraint and blessing
Harming others with words or building harmony with them
Next week: God’s Model for Imitation Eph 5:1-14
